This is History's Heroes.
People with purpose, brave ideas and the courage to stand alone.

Sonny, you'll have as good a face as any of us when I'm done with you.
Join me, Alex von Tunzelman, for History's Heroes.
Hello, Greg here.
Just a reminder before we get going that episodes of You're Dead to Me are released on Fridays wherever you get your podcasts.
But if you're in the UK,
you can listen to the latest episodes 28 days earlier than anywhere else, first on BBC Sounds.
Hello and welcome to You're Dead to Me, the Radio 4 comedy podcast that takes history seriously.
My name is Greg Jenner.
I'm a public historian, author and broadcaster.
And today we are grabbing our spoons and tucking into a big old bowl of cereal
as we saunter back to 19th century America to learn all about the Kellogg brothers.
And to help us, we have two very special breakfast buddies.
