You’re Dead to Me: BBC Sounds

I’ve just discovered the You’re Dead to Me podcasts on BBC Sounds. Written and starring Greg Jenner of Horrible Histories and featuring various guests they just discuss famous historical figures. The one I listened to was about Barnum and it was so funny I was in tears. Best not to listen to that one if you like the film though, as, in real life, he was pretty horrible. There are loads of them so they’ll keep me happy for quite a long time. They’re the second most popular podcasts on BBC Sounds I believe so I don’t you know why I ‘ve never heard of them before.

I recently discovered these podcasts too. They are excellent.

Someone’s just recommended the one about Jack Shepherd so I’ll dip into that one next.

Thanks for sharing MayBee70, I have nearly exhausted all the old Desert Island Discs I listen to on my walks and will try these.
