We Are History
by Angela Barnes and John O'Farrell
April 16, 2024 1:00 pm
The less-than-serious history podcast with stand up comedian Angela Barnes (The News Quiz, Mock The Week and Live at The Apollo) and writer John O’Farrell (An Utterly Impartial History of Britain, Things Can Only Get Better, Spitting Image). In each podcast our two history nerds discuss, explain and laugh at interesting and quirky episodes from the olden days, such as East German Nudism, Spy Pigeons or Vlad the Impaler. Angela and John’s in-depth knowledge of world history has been described as ‘laughable’ – and now they read the history books so that you don’t have to. The We Are History podcast – not as world-changing as the Black Death, but slightly funnier.
