Tony Robinson's Cunningcast
Tony Robinson is best-known for playing turnip-brained Baldrick who always had 'a cunning plan' in the iconic TV show Blackadder. He's presented countless documentaries throughout his 50-year career, including 20-years on Channel 4's Time Team, inspired by his passion for history and for digging deep into the past to understand more about the present. That's his thing! In his cunningly curated history podcast, Tony is delving into the weird and wonderful stories that grab him and make him want to know more about the world around us. He’s asking: Why was Stonehenge built? What did the past smell like, was it horrible? Why were pies invented? Why do our dogs love us so much? When did tattoos stop being taboo? What do bones tell us about past humanity? Amongst other intriguing questions... Along the way, Tony is joined by experts and special guests, including Miriam Margolyes, Stephen Fry, Raksha Dave, John Lloyd, Alice Roberts, Grace Neutral and David Mitchell who help provide some answers. So join Tony Robinson as he hosts his cunningly curated history podcast. New episodes drop Thursdays.

Love the subjects in this podcast, love national Treasure Sir Tony and love the fact he asks what might be deemed by other “celebrity” interviewers as a daft or embarrassing question, buts it’s exactly the one you’re thinking yourself. Asked not for his lack of understanding, but that his natural affinity with his audience; which helps us along; a sure sign of his thoughtful intelligence. His recognisably warm and funny tone is something to treasure indeed.
A Broadcasting Hero !

The great thing about this Pod is the variety of subjects covered , including some you don’t think are for you, but end up being really fascinating Tony is ( obviously) great , and his banter with Producer Melissa at the beginning of each pod is also a highlight All that said , the History and Archeology based episodes are my favourites particularly the Stonehenge one from Season 1 , and the fabulous Alice Roberts feature from Season 2 Highly recommended !
Alice Robert’s episode

This particular episode was one of the best pods I’ve ever listened too. Two people who love what they are discussing, who are fascinated by archaeology but are also fantastic communicators. You can really feel their enthusiasm for what they are talking about, as a listener you feel that you just happen to be sat with them chatting, ear wigging on their conversation. Please please do make a tv show with Tony and Alice talking about anything it will be joyous.
