In Episode 3 of a six-part podcast looking at the hidden histories of wives’ contributions to social science, hosts Ros Edwards and Val Gillies talk to Sophie Bridges of the Churchill Archives in Cambridge and historian Chris Renwick about Ruth Townsend and Phyllis Willmott and what can be found – and, more often it seems, forgotten – in historical records.

The Thanks for Typing Podcast is part of Ros Edwards’ and Val Gillies’ research journey uncovering the hidden impact of social researchers’ wives. A six-episode podcast series, it is produced by Research Podcasts and supported by the Sociological Review Foundation.

This episode, launched on 16 April 2024, is the third of the series’ six episodes.
