What Did You Do Yesterday? with Max Rushden & David O'Doherty · S3 EP10: Dame Mary Beard · 24 Aug 2025 podcast

I think it's quite nice, actually, too.

I was sitting in bed.

I had the radio on between 6 and 6.30, thinking I don't have to get up yet.

And I could just kind of get through some of those emails and come down and feel that the day had started and I'd done some of the stuff.

It's totally obvious, isn't it?

I listen to the Lasted Today programme and occasionally get cross.

Do you know, I have no recollection.

I can't even remember who it was this morning.

I can't even remember whether they were men or women.

You know, it's just somehow, it's so much wallpaper that I simply don't recall.

Nick Robinson will be delighted.

But I think what's funny about it is there's been a revolution really in the Today program because you used to think, oh, my God, there's a woman presenting.

And that was only about 15 years ago.

Or, oh, my God, there's two women presenting this morning.

And I think actually it's quite an achievement that you just don't now think about that.

You think, oh, it's the prison.

Who was it?

I can't remember.

Justin?

I don't know.
