I listen to this while I work in an archive. It’s the perfect balance of entertainment and education- a rare thing!

Always a delight! Learn something and be entertained.

Put this in when I go to sleep, during the day, anytime I can. Best episode is the Agatha Christie one.

The best history pod, bar none. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you’ll be entertained. OK?

I love learning about interesting history along side hilarious comedians. I get to learn and laugh, it’s the best of both worlds!

Lighthearted, educational, humorous.. and lovely easy listening. I’m having a blast going through all past episodes. If only all history teachers would use this method to teach history, then we’d have a generation of historians and history lovers!

I absolutely love this podcast! What a fun way to learn a bit more about history. Sometimes, the comedians are trying too hard to be funny and to be the centre of the show, but the majority of the episodes are really, really great! Greg Jenner is a wonderful host!

Fun, funny and you get to learn a little history, often about quirky or lessor known historical figures. You will laugh a lot and learn a lot!

“CE / BCE” - you still haven’t changed the starting date for the numbering, so renaming BC / AD is just annoying virtue-signalling. Most, but not everything, on the BBC is just as revisionist/PC. Give it a rest, will you?

Excellent

All of them fun!

Mozart podcast was fantastic!!!

I cannot get enough

I really love this podcast. It is I think my favorite of all the podcasts I listen to. I am about to listen to the Mozart episode. Can’t wait! I note that this is the 11th episode, with new material, and final episode of this, the 7th season of the podcast. Perhaps I am mistaken, but this seems like a much shorter series than previous series? So for that reason I am bummed. I look forward to the next series and hope Mr. Jenner has time to give us more content as the year progresses. Thanks Steven

Loved this pod for several years. This ep may be the best yet. Adding the orchestra was amazing. Hearing the music while it was being discussed made it come alive. As an American, I hadn’t had a lot of exposure to David O’Doherty, but he was hilarious while fitting in perfectly to the theme. Wow!

I happened upon this podcast when searching up more information on Napoleon in his early years and was instantly hooked. Not only does it cover topics I don’t find very common, but it also covers topics that even though are well-known the historians always have new information that you won’t get from a book or documentary. I always learn something new. I love the comedians because they add an element of not only comedy but viewpoints and reactions you wouldn’t get from just straight forward historians talking history. And the historians they do find always have really good stories about the topic that you wouldn’t necessarily hear otherwise. I highly suggest this for any adult who wants to learn more about history and has a sense of humor.

Much potential but the podcast degenerates into gibberish and becomes silly

It was excruciating. Amira, the historian, never laughed at Nabil’s jokes. That should have been your clue to edit him out. It was truly offensive, I can only imagine what his shows are like, sexist and coprophiliac. And reading the reviews, it seems you’ve never learned your lesson. Edit: I tried again. Listened to the Queen of Sheba episode. It was unlistenable. Sadia was gross. Why do you keep bringing people of this low quality and pair them with serious scholars? They have no place here. Also you, the host, your laugh is forced and embarrassing. Expected better from the BBC. That’s it, I’m done.

History made fascinating and funny in a smart, quickly paced format. Just can’t get enough of it! Have learned so much from this podcast, not the least of which is how narrow the lens I used to view the world. Somehow the comedians who comment on the episodes bring an edge that helps me see the ridiculous in things that have been revered for years. Thanks.

I love this podcast but can you do a episode on Greek mythology? Also I think it would be fun to have Taylor Tomlinson or someone from Dude Perfect on a show as the comedian?🩵

Greg is brilliant but the choice of comedians isn’t always great. Sue Perkins was one of the best, but please don’t bring back Sadia from the Queen of Sheba episode!

I have not been able to find a podcast like this one. I have always found history fascinating, but to have a podcast with random focuses and both a comedic and educational element is truly brilliant. I wait for the new episodes and listen to the on my commute through Los Angeles. Love the content, love the accents, and cheers to you Greg!

Two or three times so far this season the ads have come right in the middle of a sentence. That is unprofessional and unacceptable. I love this podcast and it deserves better. Get it together, producers!

Always entertaining and a wonderful source of lesser known history bits.

For a British show it is seems US centric. They could be talking about the pharaohs and will tie it to the US. You may not get drunk by drinking when they refer to the US but you will always refill your shot glass. Even if the topic is the Ming dynasty

I enjoy the show, but the comedians often are so busy cracking jokes that the details of the actual lives get drowned out in the search for laughs. The Pythagoras episode with Desiree Burch is particularly annoying—every historical anecdote gets stepped on.

This is such a great podcast that makes me laugh out loud often. It features a wide range of scholars and comedians. It manages to address difficult aspects of history without making light of them, even though it’s a comedy podcast.

Wonderful podcast Not only are the historians interesting but the comedians are hilarious but also have insightful comments

One of the best history and comedy podcasts in existence. I let a backlog happen and then binge the happiness of Greg and his guests bring. Can I please put in a request for you to bring on Dr Suzie Edge and Sue Perkins for a show together or separately because they are both amazingly funny and smart.

WHICHEVER KIND OF AMAZING ANGEL CAME DOWN AND GAVE US MERE MORTALS THIS PODCAST DESERVES MORE LOVE!

I am so sad when there is a break between new shows. I look forward to this show so much. Thank you!!!

As a history nerd and a 1/2 British 1/2 American, the Mayflower episode had me laughing so hard I was scared I’d choke on my snack and die!

I’m so glad another season is on and what an opening episode! Catherine the Great and the Great David Mitchell! Loved Dr. Julia Leikin as well. I always learn a lot and do my best to get 10 out of 10 on the quiz, even though I sometimes need Greg’s clues. The format is so fun and I am so sad when the episode is over. Greg Jenner is like a friend filling you in on history’s standout figures, places, and events. I can’t get enough, and highly recommend Greg’s episodes on the Taskmaster Podcast when you, like me, run out of You’re Dead to Me episodes. Anyway, that’s it for me. Byyyeee!

Love the Podcast!!! Usually. In this episode however Kemah and her “baby valley girl voice” made it impossible for me to finish. Kinda like nails in the chalkboard.

I am very grateful for this wonderful gift of a podcast. I am very pleased it has been so well received and look forward to many more special episodes as the seasons of the series continue. Thank you to everyone who makes Your dead to Me possible. Progressive at times slightly offensive It’s just so fun and although I think I know a lot about history I always learn something new. Truly in my top five of my favorite comedy series and though not my favorite historical series I love the variety of stories the guest historians tell. Always exciting chemistry between the guests because of the host’s tremendous charm & knowledge or honesty. Hope you enjoy it as much as me✨🧿🖖🧿✨

I love this podcast as the comedians are so erudite and the historians are so funny.

This podcast is totally fire🔥 the jokes are funny😂 and in my opinion it’s the best thing on BBC and it’s the best British/English🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 podcast I’ve ever heard!

This Podcast is full of smart facts and great laughs. And hey! I got some of my friends to finally make some of my friends laugh! And to the sounding smart part, I learned how to spell “occasionally” from an other positive review. Or a bad one. I honestly don’t know anymore. Keep it going Greg and co., I love the podcast. Many greetings, ChurchillTBird (that’s the name of my budgie, not mine)

This is normally a great show! But treating people’s religious beliefs like ghost stories is not ok. Not funny, guys.

Full

I am enjoying going through the back catalog of this podcast very much! A gentle suggestion: with some of the academic guests in History Corner, it’s obvious that they’re reading from prepared notes. The ones who are confident enough to just speak extemporaneously about their topics are so much more compelling. Even though reading a paper might be the norm in one’s academic field, it’s not the best approach for a comedy podcast. It sounds a bit stiff and wooden, and comedy depends on being responsive and in-the-moment. I know that’s probably intimidating for a lot of academics, but I hope they can trust their own knowledge and expertise enough to just speak freely.

I love history and I get to learn more every single episode! It’s so fantastic!

I eagerly await new releases from this podcast. My first BBC history podcast love was In Our Time - this is similar but with a hilarious twist. I cannot recommend You’re dead to me enough.

Many men many many many many men wish death upon me lord I don’t cry no more don’t look to the sky no more have mercy upon me

Great fun and informative listen. Irving Fenkel and Fern Brady on ancient linguistics. Make. It. Happen!!!

I love this show but I can't believe they just casually spoiled The Murder of Roger Ackroyd casually in the show without a warning. Some of us haven't read all her books yet and plan to🥲🥲

This podcast is interesting and fun to listen to 😊 I love it

What’s better than learning while laughing? I enjoy learning new things and this show teaches the listener all about interesting history while having fun. My fave part is the quiz!

Same old BBC rubbish.

Hey just got here just got my message how have friends gone be here tonight good afternoon h
