Hello and welcome to you're dead to me, a BBC radio four comedy podcast that takes history seriously.
My name is Greg Jenner.
I'm a public historian, author, broadcaster, and I'm the chief nerd on the BBC comedy show Horrible Histories.
On this podcast, we ruthlessly smash together education and entertainment to expand your historical horizons whilst gently tickling your funnybone.
