Episode 6

Broadgate to The Burgess: Lady Godiva and Peeping Tom at Midday

Published on: 9th May, 2022

As 12 o’clock strikes, the Broadgate clock sees Lady Godiva appear whilst an ogling Peeping Tom looks on from above. Back in the city centre, we continue where we finished on episode four. We turn 180 degrees and walk across Broadgate, past the towering marble statue of Earl Leofric’s wife. We pay thanks to the accordion player outside Primark and head past the bus stops along The Burgess.

It’s not compulsory, but these soundscapes are best listened to while wearing headphones! All conversations are authentic and real. The recordings were captured using a binaural microphone between January and April 2022. You can also hear these soundscapes in the accompanying storyteller episodes in our first series.

Sound design by Clare Freeman, opening music by Mintakaa. ‘Our Cov’ podcast series is a Coventry City of Culture Trust commission, created and produced by A Small Furry Bear Productions.

The Podcast Coach: Helping ordinary people share extraordinary stories.

Aged 10, I dreamt of having my own production company called A Small Furry Bear. I presented radio shows on a ghetto blaster in my bedroom with my little brother. Now, some 20+ years later, as a podcast coach and presenter - that day dream has become an everyday reality.

Question is, how can we make your dreams of presenting a podcast come true as well?
