Who am I?
I'm Bill, co-creator of "When One Thing Leads To Another," a podcast that takes you down the great internet rabbit hole of trivia to discover a treasure trove of fascinating and curious facts. Like many people, I get lost down the seemingly unending internet rabbit hole all the time. I love how you can find something out about one thing which then leads you to a totally different subject and before you know it, you've ended up somewhere completely unrelated to where you started.
My Show

2. You're Dead to Me
Why this podcast?
The subject of History never interested me when I was a kid at school because it was presented in such a boring way. I wish this podcast had been around back then. Perhaps I'd have got much better exam results, because I've learned an awful lot thanks to this very entertaining podcast which explores all sorts of historical people and events.
You're Dead to Me
BBC Radio 4
Play first episode
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.
