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.

HISTOIRE
Spanning history, religion, culture, science and philosophy, In Our Time from BBC Radio 4 is essential listening for the intellectually curious. In each episode, host Melvyn Bragg and expert guests explore the characters, events and discoveries that have shaped our world. History fans can learn about pivotal wars and societal upheavals, such as the rise and fall of Napoleon, the Sack of Rome in 1527, and the political intrigue of the Russian Revolution. Those fascinated by the lives of kings and queens can journey to Versailles to meet Marie Antoinette and Louis XIV the Sun King, or to Ancient Egypt to meet Cleopatra and Nerfertiti. Or perhaps you’re looking to explore the history of religion, from Buddhism’s early teachings to the Protestant Reformation. If you’re interested in the stories behind iconic works of art, music and literature, dive in to discussions on the artistic genius of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and Van Gogh’s famous Sunflowers. From Gothic architecture to the works of Shakespeare, each episode of In Our Time offers new insight into humanity’s cultural achievements. Those looking to enrich their scientific knowledge can hear episodes on black holes, the Periodic Table, and classical theories of gravity, motion, evolution and relativity. Learn how the discovery of penicillin revolutionised medicine, and how the death of stars can lead to the formation of new planets. Lovers of philosophy will find episodes on the big issues that define existence, from free will and ethics, to liberty and justice. In what ways did celebrated philosophers such as Mary Wollstonecraft and Karl Marx push forward radical new ideas? How has the concept of karma evolved from the ancient Sanskrit texts of Hinduism to today? What was Plato’s concept of an ideal republic, and how did he explore this through the legend of the lost city of Atlantis? In Our Time celebrates the pursuit of knowledge and the enduring power of ideas.

Voice of Newsreader

16 sept.

Dela Star

Please don’t use American sounding/AI/ overdramatized voices to read the news. That is not why I listen to/trust the BBC. I was off put by the voice of the newsreader on the 16th Sept. It sounds artificial and was ill presented. The news is tense enough. I had to switch off.
Too anti-israel

16 oct.

Gutty rhythm

I used to love BBC. Listened for 15 years and just feels really biased now. Unfollowed and took off subscription. Maybe I’ll try Reuters. Maybe I’ll try again in a couple of years but if anyone from your company reads this just report the facts please. Just seems like I get opinions now.
Blatant bias

12 oct.

Guywitharms

I’m very disappointed. I’m used to BBC bias, but this story was over the top. For instance, the $16 Paramount paid did not go to Trump; it was for legal fees with the rest going to the Trump library—no mention of that in your story. You also didn’t mention that Colbert’s show loses $40M/year (almost 30 million pounds). Can you think of another TV show that loses that much? Again, very disappointing
Call out the politicians

11 sept.

Future-is-bright

Appreciate your thoughtful coverage of Mr Kirk’s assignation. The anger you discussed comes from those who called him fascist, those who said he was taking away rights, or ending democracy. I hope the media will begin to call out those politicians and media who created this environment with their words of threat to democracy- a man speaking at a free outdoor event with no car burnings or mobs is no threat but he has been demonized and that must be called out or they will continue. Those politicians have the right to say it but the media must ask, is this true? Does this politician really mean to say they are ending democracy? Even politicians are prohibited from yelling fire in a movie theater but this is what some have been doing for the past 2 years. Another sad day for young people. Sad for the Kirk family.
