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.

Hello and welcome to you're dead to me, a history podcast for people who don't like history, or at least people who forgot to learn any at school.
My name is Greg Jenner.
I'm a public historian author, and I'm the chief nerd on the BBC comedy show Horrible Histories.
When I whip up a podcast, it's basically one part funny, two parts fact.
Stick it in the cauldron ad.
I have newt life.
In case you've not heard, you're dead to me.
Before every episode, I'm joined by an expert historian who is top of the class and a comedian who's a class act.
And today we are donning our pointy hats, buying a black cat and going for a magical broomstick ride back to early modern Europe to explore all things witchy, or rather, all things european witch craze.
