0:00.0	Welcome to the first episode of series 3 of the rabbit hole detectives, a podcast
0:25.6	where I, Dr. Kat Jarman, Richard Coles and Charles Spencer, chase the provenance of historical
0:30.6	objects both real and metaphorical. Each episode we set one another the task of finding out
0:35.7	as much as we can about a particular subject to present a comprehensive understanding of the origin
0:40.6	stories of stuff. After all, everything has a history. It just depends on how far down the rabbit hole
0:47.9	you're prepared to go. And at the end of it all, our disembodied voice pronounces a winner.
0:52.7	So hello again, rabbit hole is. Hello Kat. It's great to be back in this new series,
0:58.4	feeling all new and fresh, such a long break and everything. I know, and also Kat, we have a bit
1:05.2	of a duty between us, you know, in the four days we've had off whatever, to regroup because Richard's

1:44.8	given them anyway. So let's just surprise our listeners this time around. Now I believe I'm
1:51.3	going to be starting this week and it seems like quite a nice appropriate topic today because it's
1:57.2	actually a really nice and sunny and summery day again. And my topic is one that was suggested by
2:04.2	one of our listeners and it's going to be on Lido's. So outdoor public swimming pools.
2:11.4	And actually I'm quite excited about this. I was really enjoying learning about them because there
2:16.0	is one opening near where I live in Bath and that's the Cleveland pool, so Cleveland Lido, which is
2:22.7	actually the oldest one still surviving in the country that's been completely refurbished and
2:28.0	opening up again. So they're having a bit of a sort of resurgence these Lido's. But they are
