EP67. Back2School: Satire & Horrible Histories with Dave Cohen

As a new term begins, Jo and Adam get back in the mood for another year of learning and teaching by having a wonderful conversation with comedian, broadcaster, BBC writer, novelist an 8 time BAFTA winner Dave Cohen; best known, of course, for writing songs for the TV version of Horrible Histories. Dave talks to us about this comedy inspirations for the show, the day-to-day production of the show, its reception over the years, its skirmish with cancel culture, and about how satire played a part in the show's educational mission. (Adam also apologizes for a grievous error in the last episode, which we are ashamed to have broadcast).
