BBC sounds Music radio podcasts hello, it's Greg here.
Just before we begin, I just wanted to let you know that this is the last episode of Homeschool History, at least for this series.
Who knows what the future may hold.
But if you want more history and you want it to sound a bit like me, well, good news, because there's my other history podcast.
You're dead to me.
It's a bit like this one, but it's longer.
And I have guests who join me.
We've got very funny comedians and expert historians, and we all have a very nice chat for about 45 minutes.
I should mention this one's mostly for the grownups.
We are occasionally a bit naughty.
Oops.
But if that's very much what you're looking for, then do search for your dead to me on BBC Sound, where there's a whole back catalogue of previous episodes and very excitingly new episodes will be arriving soon.
So that's your dead to me on BBC Sounds.
But for now, in terms of homeschool history, thanks very much for listening.
We had a huge amount of fun making this show and we're very proud of it and we loved all your feedback.
Thank you so much.
Ah, but im getting all soppy now, so lets crack on with the episode so we can say goodbye properly.
This ones all about the first emperor of China, Qingqi Huangdi.
Hello and welcome to homeschool history.
