Okay, well, listener, if you want more Viking Age adventures, check out our episode on Old Norse literature. For more early American history, why not listen to our episode on Sacagawea, who's a very fascinating lady. And remember, if you've enjoyed the podcast, please leave a review, share the show with friends, subscribe to You're Dead to Me on BBC Sound so you never miss an episode.

I'd just like to say a huge thank you to our guests. In History Corner, we had the excellent Dr Eleanor Barraclough from Bath Spa University. Thank you, Eleanor. Thank you. This has been so much fun. It has been fun. Thank you for teaching me. And in Comedy Corner, we had the master student himself, the brilliant Kyle Smith-Baino. Thank you. Roar. Good Viking energy.

And to you, lovely listener, join me next time as we sail off on more historical adventures. But for now, I'm off to go and fight my neighbour over who gets to keep my lawnmower. Hooray! Bye!

I'm here shining up my fraudulent damehood. I started getting abuse online for having accepted a damehood, which is the ultimate mark of authenticity.

Hello and welcome to Your Dent to Me, the Radio 4 comedy podcast that takes history seriously. My name is Greg Jenner. I'm a public historian, author and broadcaster. And today we are cracking out our crayons and journeying back tens of thousands of years into the deep past to learn all about the Paleolithic and cave art. And to help us paint an audio picture, we have two very special guests.

In Archaeology Corner, she's a postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University in Denmark, where she's researching the evolution of early symbolic behaviour. Usefully for us, she has a PhD from Durham University in Upper Paleolithic Cave Art. It's Dr Isabel Wisher. Welcome, Izzy.

And in Comedy Corner, he's a rising star of sketch and stand-up. You may have seen his recent Edinburgh Fringe show, Burke in Progress, a fine title, or caught him on the hilarious sketch show No Worries If Not, The Michael Fry Show or Hollywood Hijack. If you've got the internet, I recommend it. It's very good.

You've probably seen one of his many viral comedy sketches, but you'll definitely remember him from our episode on medieval Irish folklore. It's Sean Burke. Welcome back, Sean. Thanks for having me. It's lovely to be back. It's lovely to have you back. Yeah. You've grown a fantastic moustache.

What do you know about cave art? Have you seen any? Have you ever visited any or seen it in a movie? I'm...

This is where I have a go at guessing what our listener will know about today's subject. And I reckon you've seen some cave art at some point somehow. At least you've spotted some in the background on the Flintstones. It's in everything from animated movies like the Ice Age franchise, which I absolutely love.
