It's also got really detailed pictures of all the different sort of presentations that can go wrong. So the baby's got his arms stuck the wrong way. Breach birth and that sort of thing. It's a fascinating read. And I suppose we should talk a little bit about general beliefs about women's bodies in this era. So in the 16th, 17th century. Ria, a mini quiz for you. Which of these was not believed at the time? So number one, unborn babies would breathe through the woman's vagina. Yes.
Two, the womb could move around inside a woman's body and had to be coaxed back into place with delicious smells. Three, babies with longer umbilical cords had longer penises. Or four, the womb continued to live after a woman had died. Which of those not true? I'm going to go with...
Joten menen kolmesta. Olet oikea menemÀÀn kolmesta, joka taitaa nÀyttÀÀ yllÀttÀvÀltÀ. Ne ovat kaikki totta. Olin itsellesi. Olet uskonut minuun ja olin itsellesi. Mutta tÀmÀ on komedi. MitÀ sinÀ haluat tehdÀ? SinÀ olet mies. Midwives, olivatko niitÀ koskaan regulaatioita? Onko Midwives koskaan regulaatioita? Tietysti ne ovat regulaatioita. Mutta olivatko niitÀ historiallisessa perussuunnitelmassa? 16- ja 17-vuotisjoukossa?
and walking around after childbirth. There's no need to regulate this. It's quite the story, though, isn't it? The history of medicine in this period, Ria. It's incredible. The Nuance Window! Okay, it's time now for The Nuance Window. This is where Ria and I sit quietly, mixing our herbal cures for two minutes, while Dr. Alana takes centre stage to tell us something we need to know about Renaissance medicine in England. My stopwatch is ready, so take it away, Dr. Alana. Can I just get a cup of hot urine while we...
Yes, I mean, the dissolution of the monasteries, listener, if you don't know, is Henry VIII switching the faith of England from Catholicism to his own personal religion, the Church of England, where he's in charge. Thank you so much, Ria. And listener, if you want more from Ria, check out our episodes on Chungi Sao, the amazing pirate queen, the most successful pirate of all time.
Kiitos Alana. Kiitos.
Pleasure to have you here. And in Comedy Corner we have the brilliant Ria Lina. Dr. Ria Lina. Thank you, Ria. Pleasure, as always. See me afterwards for that rap. Oh, thank you. And to you, lovely listener, join me next time as we restore another languishing historical topic back to full health. But for now I'm off to go and launch my new wellness brand, Leeches for Life. I'm gonna be rich. Bye!

Hello and welcome to You're Dead 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 flouncing back to the first century and fiddling while Rome burns as we learn all about Emperor Nero. And to help us tell apart our Julio Claudians from our Flavians, we have two very special guests.
In History Corner. She is a renowned classicist, author and broadcaster. Maybe you've read one of her best-selling books, including Pompeii, the Life of a Roman Town, Twelve Caesars, Women in Power, or her most recent Emperor of Rome. You'll know her from all kinds of BBC TV programs, including Pompeii, New Secrets Revealed, and she's the co-host of the acclaimed Instant Classics podcast. It's only Professor Mary Beard. Welcome, Mary!
On hienoa olla tÀÀllÀ ja olemaan tÀÀllÀ molemmilla ja jopa YmpÀri Neroin kanssa. Katsotaan. Katsotaan, kuinka hÀn tuntuu myöhemmin. Ja Comedy Cornerissa hÀn on Emmy- ja Grammy-arvoinen komedi ja aktori. HÀn on tapahtunut monissa suosituksissani suosituksissa, kuten AP Bio,
Bojack Horseman, Veep, hÀn on jÀrjestÀnyt elokuvia kuten Ratatouille, Ghostbusters Frozen Empire ja Secret Life of Pets 2. Tai olet kutsunut hÀntÀ esim. amerikkalaisen suomalaisen pöytÀpöytÀn edistÀmiseen. HÀn on kulttuurimastari ja muistat varmasti hÀnet meidÀn esityksemme American War of Independencein, jossa hÀn tekee triumfanttisen tuloksen.
Olen Patton Oswald. Tervetuloa, Patton. Kiitos paljon, ettÀ olit tÀÀllÀ. En odotellut puhua Neroa. Olen nÀhnyt kaikki Matrix-filmejÀ. HÀn on yksi suositukseni elokuvia. Okei, oikein. Nero. Puhu. Minulla ei ole kÀsikirjoituskohdassa. Se voisi kertoa paljon. Okei, pahoillani. Se on kuitenkin oikein. Viimeisen ajan teimme American War of Independencea ja sinÀ tunnit paljon.
It actually did. I didn't know that I knew so much. I wasn't surprised because you're a learned man, but we're now into ancient history, ancient Roman history. How comfortable are you in the ancient Roman world? Not at all. Literally and figuratively I'm not comfortable in that world. Do you know the name Emperor Nero? I know the name Emperor Nero, and for some reason I just picture him looking like Dom DeLuise, but that's just because of the Mel Brooks film. So, what do you know?
TÀmÀ saa meidÀt ensimmÀiseen segmenttiin podcastista. TÀssÀ on So What Do You Know? TÀssÀ minulla on kokeilu siitÀ, mitÀ sinut, loistava kuuntelija, tiedÀt tÀnÀÀn. Voit tietÀÀ, ettÀ Emperor Nero on hieman hankalaa emperiÀ. Pop-kulttuurissa hÀn on kirjoittanut kirjoja, hÀnellÀ on ollut sopimuksia, hÀnellÀ on ollut sopimuksia paljon suomalaisista sopimuksista, kuten Peter Ustinov Quo Vadisin, Christopher Bigginsin I, Claudiusin ja Craig Robertsin, kuten minun töissÀni The Big Baddie in the Horrible History of Kids.
Do Hollywood depictions get it right? What does Nero's roguish reputation tell us about Rome? Why were Romans faking their deaths at the theatre? Let's find out! Professor Mary, Nero was born nearly 2000 years ago, so this is a properly old story. The first thing I have to ask is, what are our sources here? Do we have trustworthy sources? Well, there's quite a lot of sources around Nero.
Olemme tehneet aikaisemmin isoja, jotka ovat isoja, kutsumme niitÀ isoja, mutta nyt meillÀ on isoja isoja, ajattelemme ehkÀ isoja? Isoja? Tai isoja? Isoja? Isoja? Okei, hÀn on nimenomaan isojaan, nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan nimenomaan
Se tulee olemaan ongelma. Ja sen jÀlkeen on ongelma. Ja Nero saapuu kulttuurin koulutukseen, koska hÀn on nyt todennÀköisesti saapunut kulttuurin koulutukseen. HÀn on saapunut kulttuurin koulutukseen. HÀn on saapunut kulttuurin koulutukseen. Onko sinÀ koskaan kuullut Senecaa?
Olen kuullut Senecaa. HÀn on iso stoikki. Niin, Seneca opettaa Neroa. MeillÀ on pieni lapsi, joka opettaa yksi suomalaisista filosofista, mutta myös yksi suomalaisista poliittisista ihmisistÀ. Se on hyvÀ koulutus, hyvÀ koulutus.
Mutta kun Claudius kuoli, oli tÀmÀ hetki, jossa oli mahdollisuus muuttaa Jeroin positiivisuuteen? Ja myös Britannicus, hyvin pian myöhemmin, kuoli myös poistoa. Tai tietenkin, voisi olla epilepsi. Epilepti.
