About Down the Back of the Seats

This podcast explores what happens when public spaces and the public meet.  What's left behind?  What's been found that's unexpected? What stories are there to tell? Tales from behind the scenes at the cinema, theatre, concert hall - wherever people meet, linger and leave things or bits.
