Niche topic alert! Today I am

talking to Anouska Lewis about Ormskirk Gingerbread.

Anouska is the writer and presenter

of the BBC Sounds podcast Hometown Boring? The first episode

being all about Ormskirk gingerbread

We

talk about how one lands getting a podcast series on BBC Sounds in the first

place; the ingredients of Ormskirk gingerbread, the town’s pride in its

gingerbread, the gingerbread ladies who sold them at the train station in the

Victorian period, Ormskirk’s link with Liverpool’s sugar and slave trade, and

the value of having difficult conversations – amongst many other things.
