Acerca de esta escucha

Yes, it's a strange kind of history. And that’s the way Public Historian Greg Jenner likes it. Because, he says, how we sit, where we sit, what we do when we sit and what happens as a result of all that sitting says a lot about humans past and present.

This study means we can link a royal throne with a 2000-year-old toilet. It shows how the language and culture of sitting is deep seated in all of us. It sits listeners down in classrooms, parliaments, sports grounds, protests and in the penitentiary death chamber.

So if you're sitting comfortably....

Fans of Greg Jenner’s ‘You’re Dead to Me’ podcast already know all to well his ability to take subjects that seem uninteresting at face value, and turn them into engaging and memorable lessons in history. This Audible Original is not different.

The production value throughout all eight episodes is nothing short of stellar, incorporating wonderful music, interviews, sound effects, and most importantly, the cheerful witticisms that is Jenner’s narration and performance.

No matter where you sit or how you do it, this will forever change the way you view the art of sitting.

I like having things to listen and learn about whilst knitting. Fun things to think about. I would look up things like the Camden bench and the kings sex chair to see what they looked like. Had no idea. Sitting as protest was enlightening. Inspires a sitting protest for the Roe V Wade in stirrups. Enjoyed this series.
