Greg Jenner hosts a special episode of the chart-topping podcast You’re Dead To Me, where he is joined by historian Dr Hannah Nicholson and comedian Catherine Bohart to explore the history of General Elections. Welcome to the world of “bludgeon men”, “potwallopers”, and electorates of sheep (!).

Travel back to the 18th Century, when Number 10 was number 5 (yes, really) and discover not just how voter rights have changed, but where they originated.
