All,
Welcome back.
If you click here you will get to the website of the excellent Radio 4 programme – You’re dead to me. This is excellent enrichment for you on topics as diverse as Mary Seacole, the history of ice cream, and prohibition. It describes itself as follows.
You’re Dead To Me is a funny and factual podcast designed to delight both people who hated history at school and people who loved it. We combine hilarious comedians with PhD-wielding expert historians, and tackle subjects you think you know (but don’t), or ones you should know.
Pick what interests you, and when you listen, think about how effective arguments are constructed. Click here for your choice of the 97 available episodes. A good example can be found here. Greg Jenner (host), Dr Emma Southon (historian) and Sara Pascoe (comedian and all-round good person) discuss the important questions surrounding Queen Boudica including: Is she a feminist icon? How do you pronounce her name? And was she really ginger?
Mr Kydd.
