About this listen

From reclining chairs that hold your drink, to city benches that deter the homeless; this episode explores the history of sitting down comfortably and the power of imposing deliberate discomfort.

Very informative. I am familiar with Mr Jenner from his BBC 4 program, You’re Dead to Me. It’s a favorite. I expect nothing less than excellence from him and I was not disappointed.

Highly entertaining.

If you like Bill Bryson history, you’ll like this. Tidbits of knowledge, rambling and we’ll-researched. Lovely voice as well!

Entertaining

Only one of the talents behind Horrible Histories and the host of the podcast “You’re Dead to Me” can make the history of sitting this engaging. I never realized how much we say by the way we sit. Greg Jenner offers an in-depth look at how much - through the development of the high chair, the sex chair or the electric chair, just to name a few - the evolution of sitting says about us as a society.

Fascinating look at an everyday activity
