This show is perfect for you if you love humor but struggle with history (like me). I’ve been listening for years and thoroughly enjoy the interactions between Greg Jenner (the host), the guest historian, and the guest comedian. It’s a great way to laugh while learning.
So much fun. And I learn stuff too.

Title says it all. Not much more I can add.
Lovely in virtually every way

This is a really great show. Greg and his guests are charming and knowledgeable. My only gripe, and this is true of every BBC show (looking at you, Now Show), is that each segment is punctuated by an introduction like “THE NUANCE WINDOW” that is entirely too loud. I just don’t get how the BBC can’t balance the audio on any program, this included. I’m sorry that I’m complaining about this on your podcast, Greg.
No Jonathan Larson?

I love this show and I'm so happy you did an episode on Broadway, but how could you cover the history of Broadway and not mention Jonathan Larson's impact on the industry? Countless theatre artists cite Rent as the reason they got into theatre. Including Lin Manuel Miranda, who you brought up multiple times. To not mention it is irresponsible and does a huge disservice to his legacy. And erases the struggles and contributions of the queer community which helped to reinvigorate Broadway through works such as Rent, which paved the way for shows like Spring Awakening and Hamilton to be created in the first place.
