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, a comedy podcast that takes history seriously.
My name is Greg Jenner.
I'm a public historian, author and broadcaster, and I'm the chief nerd on the BBC kids show Horrible Histories.
And today we are setting course for 18th century China, for the Qing dynasty, to be exact, to parlay with Chung Yi sau, the most successful pirate of all time.
And to help me do that, I'm joined by two very special crewmates in history Corner.
He's associate professor at the London School of Economics, an expert in late imperial China, and is a specialist in maritime and global studies.
Indeed, he's the author of Blue Maritime Vision and Power in the Qing Empire.
It's Professor Ronald Poe.
Ahoy hoy, Ron.
