S3 EP10: Dame Mary Beard
Joining us on this episode of 'What did you do yesterday?' is the renowned classicist, author and broadcaster - Dame Mary Beard.
We asked Mary what she did yesterday?
She told us.
That's it... enjoy!
Mary's brilliant new podcast 'Instant Classics' is available from the 28th August. Co-hosted with Guardian Chief Culture writer Charlotte Higgins, the series will connect ancient myths, figures, and politics to today’s headlines and cultural habits.
It promises “ancient stories, modern twists” with no classics degree required, aiming to show how history continues to shape the present.
Each episode mixes wit, insight, and debate, as the two friends unpack stories from Ancient Greece and Rome while linking them to modern life.
Find it wherever you get your podcasts.
Don't forget we're doing out first ever WDYDY live show (and the only one in 2025!) on September 10th at Hackney Empire.
