On this episode of the Hadriatic Divide, Poddy does the Lambeth Walk (figuratively), dons her button suit (figuratively) and talks to two Pearly Queens (literally) in an attempt to learn about the history of London’s Pearly Kings and Queens, a concept entirely unfamiliar to Ciaran.
The couple discuss what they would put on their own button suits, debate whether or not the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony was suitably inclusive of every country within the United Kingdom, and, most importantly, why Partick Thistle’s horrifying mascot holds more importance in Ciaran’s heart than Paddington Bear.
Will Pod convince Ciaran to adopt The Pearlies into Scottish culture? Listen to find out.
