Hello, Greg Jenner here, host of Your Dead To Me.
In my new family-friendly podcast series, Dead Funny History,
historical figures come back to life for just about long enough to argue with me,
tell us their life stories, and sometimes get on my nerves.
There's 15 lovely episodes to unwrap, including the life of Ramesses the Great,
Josephine Baker, and the history of football, plus much, much more.
So this Christmas, give your ears a treat with Dead Funny History.
You can find it in the Your Dead To Me feed on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
