Sounds Jewish podcast: memories of London's East End

A special soundscape edition of the podcast pays tribute to the Jewish East End of London. Some of the sounds are old, archive recordings exhumed for the first time in decades; some are new, reflecting the way that part of London sounds today. 1. The Bagel. Self-styled bagel poet Ben Mandelson, creator of the "baiku" - part bagel, part haiku – and the night-time clientele of Beigel Bake on Brick Lane. 2. Sandra's Story. Sandra Saintus is from a Jamaican family, was raised as a Pentecostal Christian and now runs the Stepney Jewish Day Centre . 3. Giving Life to the Dead. Susie Clapham is a young architect living in Bethnal Green who's become obsessed with the long-abandoned Jewish cemetery on Bancroft Road, Mile End . 4. Memories of Water. Two East Enders remember how they used to bathe, in the kitchen - and in public. 5. In Search of Mike Stern. Once a legend of Petticoat Lane, the market trader even had a cigarette card dedicated to him. Now his voice lives on only in the archives - and in the memories of those who saw him sell . • Sound design by Lemez Lovas, Yaniv Fridel and Alexa Dura. • Sounds Jewish is sponsored by the Jewish Community Centre for London
