S1: Love

In this first episode of the National Museums Liverpool Podcast, Jane Garvey introduces three stories on love each with their own unique link to the museums and Liverpool. Act One: Hello Sailor! Michael Rudder and Dominic Brown both started a life in the Merchant Navy at the age of 17 in 1969. At sea they both found an openness that would have perhaps been a little more difficult to come by at home. Act Two: The Loves and Loss of Glyn PhilpotEarly 20th Century British artist, Glyn Philpot was revered by the aristocracy for his stunning portraiture. However, while portrait painting may have been Philpot's job, his passions lay elsewhere. Act Three: Love abound the LusitaniaThe sinking of the Lusitania is one of the most tragic maritime disasters of all time. Of the 1,198 souls that lost their lives, there are countless acts of heroism and love. We have an epic and heart-breaking love story.
