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'm the ex chief nerd on the BBC comedy show Horrible Histories.
And today we are living that city slicker life as we travel back over 500 years to learn about life in Ottoman Istanbul.
And to help me find my way around town, I'm joined by two very special guests in history corner.
She's a professor in ottoman and turkish history at Middle East Technical University in Turkey with expertise in diplomatic and social history.
She's written a ton of academic publications, including co authoring the book a Social History of Istanbul.
It's Professor Ebru Boyarsh.
