You're Dead to Me
Description
The comedy podcast that takes history seriously. In each episode of You’re Dead to Me from BBC Radio 4, Greg Jenner is joined by a comedian and an expert historian to learn and laugh about the past.
History isn’t just about dates and textbooks – it’s about extraordinary characters, amazing stories, and some very questionable fashion choices. How long did it take to build an Egyptian pyramid? What does the Bayeux Tapestry reveal about medieval life? Why did it take nearly half a millennium for Joan of Arc to become a saint? And was Catherine the Great really all that great? Whether you want to explore ancient landmarks like Stonehenge and Machu Picchu, dance through the history of Broadway and Bollywood, or find out how the Tudors rose to power, Greg and his guests promise to teach you something new that you won’t have heard in history lessons.
Previous episodes of You’re Dead To Me have covered everything from royals to revolutionaries, actors to activists and divas to dictators. Take a stroll through the history of high-heeled shoes or get the scoop on the history of ice cream. Maybe you’d like to paint like the cave artists of the Palaeolithic era, work out like a Victorian bodybuilder, or fight like a Spartan? We’ve even hosted a special, live episode with the BBC Concert Orchestra to explore the dramatic life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Whatever your historical interests, Greg and his guests make even the trickiest topics easy to follow. Join them for a history lesson that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening - with no homework required.
The Good Place!
One of my few 'must listen' podcasts. One request: maybe put the radio edits on a different feed? I keep getting excited that a new episode is out, then disappointed that it's just something I've already heard but in a more compromised form. (Long live Greg Jenner and team.)
omg, that laugh. 😡
I think what many ppl don't know is how entrepreneurial the "Vikings" were. That's what the raiding and conquering was really about: money.
It's Persian Gulf!
Do I need to wait for the radio edit, or is this safe for a 10 year old? A few swears are okay.
you're dead to ice cream
first time I've been annoyed with the podcast for its Double standards mentioning that Emma was younger then Æthelred and its Problematic yeah when a 30 Yr old Emma's married a teenage Cnut cheered and called a Cougar
Boudica didn't poison herself, no way. If there was any poisoning, someone else poisoned her. Romans had skills in that area.

The comedian was completely wrong for this content. I've enjoyed previous episodes but this one didn't gel.
The BEST episode. oh god, I laughed so hard, and I loved the subject. AWESOME.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 "Keep it simple, keep it modest, and organised and unified" ❤️
I also agree with the others, so excited to hear about Hatshepsut, but it was annoying to listen to the not funny comedian with the horrible voice. I will avoid the Prohibition podcast, and any future episodes with this person.
I like the podcast, but it's hard to understand the measurements because it's all in the imperial system and I can't translate from imperial to metric which is extremely annoying.
Lose the so-called "comedians" with the forced laughter and smoke-blowing. The stories are compelling enough and the guests add nothing. Otherwise brilliant
same as others. would have liked to finish episode but comedian was terrible.
Why am I suddenly only getting the radio edits on cast box?
awesome episode! despite the guest 😅
