About

Dr. Emma Southon is a Dr and likes to remind people to use her title right. She has a PhD in Ancient History from the University of Birmingham, and is the author of Agrippina: Empress, Exile, Hustler, Whore, and A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

Janina Matthewson is not a Dr and you cannot make her become one. She has a bachelor’s degree in farting around on stage, and is the author of Of Things Gone Astray, and the co-creator of Within the Wires.

Producer/Editor Oliver Kealey is also not a Dr. He has a bachelor’s degree in music, a toddler, and is just so tired right now. He’s not authored anything (yet). He also paints miniatures.

The Radio Times described us as a sixth form history class where the kids have got the teacher wildly off topic and you know what? Yes.
