The sea shanty was the recent focus of a social media craze, but in many ways it revival completely predictable. As we shall see today, the shanty has always been a way to connect disparate groups, causing all of them to pull in one direction. It was exactly the tonic that people lockdowned with uncertain direction needed. The history of the shanty, from Victorian work song to curated anthropological archive is a fascinating journey, and one central to East Anglia's coastal communities.

We're back at UEA's media suite now (although this episode was recorded mainly at home), with support from the Interdisciplinary Institute of Humanities. Thanks for bearing with us over the past few months, we hope to have exciting news about our upcoming episodes as well as our annual film festival for you all very soon.

This episode was hosted by me, Richard Sheppard, with research by Dr Linda Sheppard.
