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.
Today we're mounting our war elephants and marching back to the ancient Mediterranean to learn all about the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barker.
And joining our campaign we have two very special comrades in arms.
In History Corner,
she's Professor of Ancient History at the University of Cambridge and a specialist on Roman,
North African and Phoenician history and archaeology.
You might have read her award-winning book, In Search of the Phoenicians,
or her best-selling award-nominated new one, How the World Made the West, a 4,000-year history.
It's brilliant.
It's Professor Josephine Quinn.
Welcome, Joe.
Thanks for having me.
Delighted to have you here.
And in comedy corner, he's a comedian, writer and presenter.
You'll have seen him on all the TV shows like Live at the Apollo,
Love Island After Sun, Roast Battle Mock the Week,
Dancing on Ice, or Heard Him on the Radio on News Jack Unplugged, Infinite Monkey Cage, Black Label.
And of course, you'll remember him from our episode on Victorian bodybuilding.
