Greg Jenner is joined by historian Dr Kristi Upson-Saia and comedian Stu Goldsmith to explore the strange world of Ancient Greek and Roman medicine. Welcome to a world where health was fleeting, water could be dangerous and communal bum sponges are all the rage. The team will take you through a variety of common ailments from tight atoms to wandering wombs and provide startling cures in the form of electric eels and beaver anuses.

My name's Joe Wilkinson and I've managed to force Patrick Bamford to come on a podcast with me and he's gonna slowly fall in love with me.
Do you go to the tip?
Believe it or not, yeah, I do.
Do you go to the supermarket?
No.
You know when all the shirts started getting tight on the players and they started selling them like that to the general public?
Yeah, yeah.
And everyone looked like sausages.
My mate's a footballer with me, Patrick Bamford and Joe Wilkinson.
Listen on BBC Sounds.
Hi, Greg here.
I just wanted to let you know that my other podcast, Homeschool history, is back for a second series.
We'll have episodes on the great fire of London, William Shakespeare, ancient egyptian religion and many other things.
So if you fancy hearing some short, fun history lessons which are suitable for children and families, then head over to homeschool history on BBC Sounds.
BBC sounds music radio podcasts.
Hello and welcome to you're dead to me, a history podcast for everyone, for people who don't like history, people who do like history, and people who forgot to learn any at school.
My name is Greg Jenner.
I'm a public historian, author and broadcaster, and I'm the chief nerd on the BBC comedy show Horrible Histories.
And you might have heard my other podcast, homeschool history, but that one's mostly for the kids.
On this podcast, we treat you with a soothing salve of two parts book learning and one part chuckles, because laughter is the best medicine.
