Greg is the creator, presenter, and executive producer of BBC Sounds’ funny history podcast You’re Dead to Me which pairs up top comedians with expert historians to cover global history.

Greg has recently focused on audio projects, and his other BBC Radio 4 projects have included the acclaimed children’s educational series Homeschool History (made during Covid lockdown).
