I much preferred Your Dead To Me. Please go back to the old format.
I love the new shortened version,listening to it with my kids is lovely and then listening to the non edited version is way more funny. 5 stars. Recommend the shortened version for history loving kids.
I pay for a BBC subscription as I am an American-I love your dead to me. Why are we getting this kids podcast? Everybody is right- it should be a separate podcast. Greg needs to get on it. I have a feeling he’s gonna lose a lot of subscribers – judging by the reviews, the show is not what people want- they want you’re dead to me back. Please bring it back! then my rating goes back up to five stars.
Just wanted to add my request to remove Dead Funny History to its own feed. It’s for a completely different audience than the main podcast.
