By the time a large whale dies, it has removed 33 tons of carbon from the atmosphere and will store it at the bottom of the ocean for centuries. Each whale has been calculated to be worth $2 million to the world economy this way.

📯NEW EPISODE!!! 😁This week You’re Dead To Me tackles the medieval legends and literature about King Arthur

With fantastic comedian Mike Wozniak and expert historian @mareganlefay.bsky.social. Listen on BBC SOUNDS now, or wait a month for it to arrive on apps

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
You’re Dead To Me cover art shows a parody of the Bayeux Tapestry, with King Harold complaining about the arrow in his eye and Duke William of Normandy apologising Greg Jenner is joined in medieval Europe by Dr Mary Bateman and comedian Mike Wozniak to learn all about the legends of King Arthur. Most of us have heard of Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table. But where do these legends come from? Arthur first appears in the writings of a ninth-century monk, but he's not the king we know today: no Merlin or Lancelot, no Excalibur, and no Camelot. These elements were added later, as the legends were retold and rewritten across Europe. This episode traces the stories of Arthur and his knights from their early medieval origins, exploring the changes made as they were adapted over the centuries by everyone from French romance authors to Victorian poets, and taking in some famous medieval texts, including the Welsh Mabinogion by everyone from French romance authors to Victorian poets, and taking in some famous medieval texts, including the Welsh Mabinogion and Mallory's Morte d'Arthur, as well as some lesser known tales. Along the way, we also look at the places in modern Britain that still bear Arthurian names and the wacky artefacts that have been associated with the legendary king, and ask the crucial question: did King Arthur really exist? If you're a fan of heroic quests, knights in shining armour and fantastical medieval stories, you'll love our episode on the legends of King Arthur. If you want more from Mike Wozniak, check out our episode on Charles Dickens at Christmas. And for more lovely legends, listen to our episodes on Atlantis and Norse Literature. You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.
