    Transcript of Podcast 039: The People's Republic Of South Yorkshire {Intro. A crowd singing} You fill up my senses, Like a gallon of Magnet, Like a packet of Woodbines, Like a good pinch of snuff, Like a night out in Sheffield, Like a greasy chip butty, Like Sheffield United, Come thrill me again {intro music – jaunty, bouncy} {Intro standard announcement: Hello. Thank you for tuning in. You're listening to Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure, a fortnightly series looking at unfamiliar places across the world, and aspects of travelling you may never have thought of. I'm your host, The Barefoot Backpacker, a middle-aged Brit with a passion for offbeat travel, history, culture, and the 'why's behind travel itself. So join me as we venture … beyond the brochure.} {Music fades. Podcast begins} Hello :) Carrying on from last episode's New Year greetings, if you celebrate or otherwise mark it, I hope you had a happy Easter, a kosher and joyous Passover, and/or a Blessed Ostara. It's that time of year when there are many and varied religious and cultural celebrations one after another. It was Holi recently too, an ancient and popular Hindu festival that celebrates both the arrival of spring, and the defeat of evil (Hiranyakashipu) by good (Vishnu). Most outsiders, especially in the West, only know it as 'that festival where everybody throws coloured powder around'. Still, at least they've heard of it, which is a step up I guess. Related, I'm writing this on International Asexuality Day, which … seems to be trending regionally on Twitter, which either shows there's a lot of us, or it doesn't take a lot to trend on Twitter.

  • SLI 22 Title: Beet Lantern Slide Collection
    University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: SLI 22 Title: Beet Lantern Slide Collection Scope: A collection of just under 2,500 lantern slides collected by Arthur Edgar Beet, an academic in the Applied Science Department at the University of Sheffield in the first half of the 20th century. Dates: Late 19th and early 20th century Level: Fonds Extent: c.2,500 slides Name of Creator: Arthur Edgar Beet Administrative/biographical history: This collection consists of just under 2,500 magic lantern slides covering a wide variety of subjects, including photographs of late 19th century Sheffield, illustrations of scenes from children’s tales and Bible stories, images of the Boer War and the First World War, portraits of important historical figures, and photographs of London and European cities. The majority of the slides are standard UK lantern slides 3¼ inches square, but there are also a wide range of panorama slides, single slipper slides, double slipper slides, glass pivot slides, rackwork slides and rare and unique homemade glass slides. Arthur Edgar Beet was a lecturer in fuel technology at the University of Sheffield in the first half of the twentieth century. He was an amateur local historian who developed an interest in collecting lantern slides and projection equipment: a large addition to his collection was made in 1954 by John Arthur Southern, who bequeathed to Beet his own collection of 800 slides and a late 19th century projector. On Beet’s death in 1968, his son, A.D.H. Beet offered to donate the collection of slides to the University of Sheffield.
