This is the part of the show where Sean and I put down our paintbrushes and sit quietly by the fire for two minutes for some storytelling, while Dr Izzy takes centre stage to tell us something we need to know about Paleolithic art. Take it away, Dr Izzy.
Thank you so much. Listener, if you want more from Sean, of course you do, check out our episode on medieval Irish magic. Also some animal stories in that, some quite weird things in there. Yeah, it gets weird. And for more prehistoric stories, listen to our episode about the Neanderthals with Tim Minchin. That was a fun one.

And in Comedy Corner, we have the spectacular Sean Burke. Thank you, Sean. Thank you very much for having me. And to you, lovely listener, join me next time as we uncover another lost historical masterpiece and try not to smudge it with our finger. But for now, I'm off to confuse future archaeologists by painting mammoths all over the local coffee shop. Bye!
