His guest is podcaster, sometimes actor and historian Greg Jenner.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>They discuss repeatedly falling downstairs, whether historians are duty bound to have sex with Neanderthals, what new history has happened and have a detailed examination of the history of celebrity, thanks to Greg’s ace new book, Dead Famous. Find out why Abraham Lincoln grew that beard, why Julius Caesar isn’t a celebrity and whether Richard is and how faking a death almost led to a Hollywood actress being killed. Plus bumping into Scarlett Johannson, whether an iPad counts as homeschooling and a great use for the Bayeaux Tapestry.</p><p><br></p><p>Buy Greg’s most excellent book here - currently only 99p on Kindle! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dead-Famous-Celebrity-Greg-Jenner/dp/0297869809/</p><p><br></p><p>SUPPORT THE SHOW!</p><p><strong>Watch our </strong><a href=\"http://twitch.tv/rkherring\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>TWITCH CHANNEL</strong></a></p><p><strong>Become a badger and see extra content&nbsp;at our </strong><a href=\"http://bit.ly/rhlstpweb\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>WEBSITE</strong></a></p><p><strong>See details of the RHLSTP </strong><a href=\"http://bit.ly/RHLSTPgigs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>TOUR DATES</strong></a></p><p><strong>Buy DVDs and Books from </strong><a href=\"http://bit.ly/gofasterstripe\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>GO FASTER STRIPE</strong></a></p>","author_name":"Sky Potato, Go Faster Stripe and Fuzz Productions"}
