Humans of Camden - Episode 1
‘Humans of Camden’ is a podcast series for Camden Community Radio inspired by the photography project, ‘Humans of New York’. In it, Bonny walks around different parts of Camden asking passersby to talk to her for 5 minutes. The aim is to capture a cross-section of street life in this diverse and eclectic borough of London.
The first episode was recorded in Camden Town and Mornington Crescent. Bonny asks: “Why are you here?”, “Is there anything you’re struggling with at the moment?”, “What advice have you found helpful that you’d share with others?” (etc.)

Episode 4: What became of the hospital building after WWI
These 4 podcasts explore the Legacy of the Endell Street Military Hospital, the only British army hospital to have been established and run by women during WWI. Opened in 1915 on the site of a former Victorian workhouse by Suffragette doctors Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson, its staff of 180 women treated over 26,000 in-patients and performed over 7,000 surgical operations.
In 2018 a group of local volunteers came together to learn research and recording skills as part of a Heritage Lottery funded project, and they created these podcasts to share their findings about what happened to the hospital and its female staff members after the war ended.
