Hey, I'm Greg here. How you doing all right? We are making Series 3 right now.

In the meantime, we've been making these radio 4 versions of the previous episode.

We are putting them in the feed here permanently. They will be alongside the long versions.

So make sure you scroll down and choose which version you want.

So you can have the shorter, punchier, swear-free versions.

What the long, rambling, swear-free versions up to you. Thanks very much for listening. Take care. Bye.

Hello and welcome to your Dead To Me, the History Podcast for everyone.

For people who don't like history, people who do like history and people who forgot to learn any at school.

My name is Greg Jenner. I'm a public historian, author and broadcaster.

And I'm the chief nerd on the BBC comedy show, Poreable History.

You might also have heard my radio 4 series, Home School History, although that one's for the kids.

This podcast navigates the murky waters of the past using facts and giggles as our map and compass.

And today we are packing our bags and setting sail for the new world.

That's right, we're venturing back exactly 400 years to 1620 and climbing aboard the Mayflower,

the ship that carried the first English colonists to America.

And to help me do that, I'm joined by two very special guests. In History Corner,

she is a Hallsworth research fellow at the University of Manchester and an expert on the social and economic history of the early modern Atlantic world.

It's Dr. Misha Youin. Hi Misha, thank you for coming.

Hello, thanks for the invitation. It's great to be here.

It's good to have you. And in Comedy Corner, he's a comedian and writer,

one of the few Americans to win Best Newcomer at the 2014 Edinburgh French Festival.

And then return with the best reviewed show of 2018.
