How To Make A Funny History Podcast! Behind The Scenes of BBC You're Dead To Me

Institute for the Public Understanding of the Past Lecture

Join Greg Jenner & Emma Nagouse - the writers & producers of the funny BBC history series You're Dead To Me - for a cheerful peek behind the podcast curtain. 

They'll explain the practical processes behind how episodes are selected, researched, cast, scripted, recorded, edited, and delivered by a small, hard-working team. Plus, they'll discuss the challenges of doing jokes about complex and problematic histories.

You're Dead To Me is a BBC Radio 4 flagship show, and is consistently one of the most popular podcasts on BBC Sounds (with 65 million downloads since its launch in summer 2019). It pairs up top comedians with expert historians to bring laughter and learning to an international audience, with its eclectic blend of potted biographies, surprising social histories, and grand sweeps through global history.

You can meet Greg, buy his books (or bring your own copies) and get them signed from 4.30pm in the Ron Cooke Atrium.
