My name's Joe Wilkinson, and I've managed to force Patrick Bamford to come on a podcast with me, and he's gonna slowly fall in love with me.
Do you go to the tip?
Believe it or not, yeah, I do.
Do you go to the supermarket?
No.
You know when all the shirts started getting tight on the players and they started selling them like that to the general public?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And everyone looked like sausages.
My mate's a footballer with me, Patrick Bamford and Joe Wilkinson.
Listen on BBC Sounds.
BBC sounds music radio podcasts.
Hello and welcome to you're dead to me, the radio four comedy podcast that takes history seriously.
My name is Greg Jenner.
I'm a public historian, author and broadcaster, and I was the chief nerd on the BBC comedy show Horrible Histories.
And today we are journeying back a couple of centuries to learn all about England's black history in the 17 hundreds and early 18 hundreds.
And to help me explore this fascinating story, I am joined by two very special guests in history corner.
She's the Paul Murray Kendall Chair in biography and professor of English at University of Massachusetts Amherst in the USA, and is an expert on the history of black people in Britain.
She presented the BBC Radio four series Britain's Black Past, has written and edited several important books, including an absolute classic, Black England, which is very soon to be reissued as Black a forgotten georgian history.
You'll, of course, know her.
