BBC Sounds Music Radio Podcasts

Hello and welcome to your Dead To Me, a history podcast for people who don't like history

or release people who forgot to learn any at school.

My name is Greg Jenner, I'm a public historian, author, I'm the chief nerd on BBC Comedy

show Horrible Histories.

I love comedy, I love history, and I love podcasts so I'm basically living the dream.

Now in each episode I am joined by an expert historian who knows their Saint George from

their George Michael and the comedian with more gags than a BDSM convention.

And today we are waving our pride, flags high and voguing into the annals of history of

LGBT people and identities.

Today I'm joined by two fantastic guests in History Corner with joined by Dr Justin

Bengrey from Goldsmiths University of London.

He's the author of the pink pound and he teaches the UK's first ever masters degree in

queer history.

Hi Justin, thank you for coming.

Thank you so much for having me here today.

And in Comedy Corner she's one of the funniest standups in the country, she's also a very

natty dresser which you know does matter.

She does the like-minded friends podcast with Tom Allen which is a lovely listen, you'll

have seen on live at the Apollo and loads of panel shows.

It is Portesmas finest.

It's Susie Ruffle.
