Hi! I’m a Public Historian and I host the funny BBC podcast YOU’RE DEAD TO ME which pairs up expert historians with comedians

I also write funny history books - 3 for kids & 3 for adults - and I used to work on the BBC HORRIBLE HISTORIES TV comedy show

I love TV, movies, books, podcasts & Spurs 😀

Oh no! Losing Diane Keaton and Robert Redford in the same month is really sad. What a great career she had

The Ian Watkins story was utterly horrific and shocking when it was first revealed. It also had a devastating effect on his former band mates in Lost Prophets, as explored in Ian Winwood’s sobering book Bodies about the dark side of the rock music industry

The insomnia is a hellish curse, I would gladly trade a good night’s rest for the super power of woeful timekeeping!

Years of chronic insomnia has given me a weirdly accurate internal clock, so I can often guess the time within an accuracy range of a few minutes

We are realizing that we have no idea what British people think a “flapjack” is.

Thrilled to share a clip from our funny new children's audiobook about the Stone Age. I had such fun writing and narrating this with the brilliant archaeologist @brennawalks.bsky.social

In this clip, join Homo Erectus on a scavenging hunt... but they're in for a nasty, LOUD surprise! (Sound on!)

Really liked it. Properly silly, constant jokes, strong performances, nice and short

The genius of Golden is its emotional range as well as the euphoric range of pitch variety in the lead vocals — so, this is a lovely video by Opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff on the technical singing of how EJAE hit that high A5 note, but also found power in the low E3
