BBC Radio Podcast Guide - Y
Yesterday in Parliament
Five-minute reports on the key events in Parliament presented with insight and humour by BBC correspondents.
You're Dead to Me
The comedy podcast that takes history seriously. In each episode of You’re Dead to Me from BBC Radio 4, Greg Jenner is joined by a comedian and an expert historian to learn and laugh about the past. History isn’t just about dates and textbooks – it’s about extraordinary characters, amazing stories, and some very questionable fashion choices. How long did it take to build an Egyptian pyramid? What does the Bayeux Tapestry reveal about medieval life? Why did it take nearly half a millennium for Joan of Arc to become a saint? And was Catherine the Great really all that great? Whether you want to explore ancient landmarks like Stonehenge and Machu Picchu, dance through the history of Broadway and Bollywood, or find out how the Tudors rose to power, Greg and his guests promise to teach you something new that you won’t have heard in history lessons. Previous episodes of You’re Dead To Me have covered everything from royals to revolutionaries, actors to activists and divas to dictators. Take a stroll through the history of high-heeled shoes or get the scoop on the history of ice cream. Maybe you’d like to paint like the cave artists of the Palaeolithic era, work out like a Victorian bodybuilder, or fight like a Spartan? We’ve even hosted a special, live episode with the BBC Concert Orchestra to explore the dramatic life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Whatever your historical interests, Greg and his guests make even the trickiest topics easy to follow. Join them for a history lesson that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening - with no homework required.

Yeti
Tales of a bipedal ape-like creature persist in the myth and legend of the Himalayas. But does the yeti really exist? Two enthusiasts are determined to find out. Andrew Benfield and Richard Horsey travel through India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan in search of stories of yeti sightings and encounters. Over 10 episodes, they hear from villagers, yak herders, sherpas and mountaineers, who give surprisingly consistent descriptions of a mysterious, large, hairy creature. This series takes us on a journey deep into Himalayan culture as the presenters grapple with their own inner demons to try to make sense of the yeti myth.

Y Diflaniad
Ar y 14eg o Ragfyr 1953 fe aeth Stanislaw Sykut â cheffyl i'w bedoli ym mhentref bach tawel Cwmdu yn Nyffryn Tywi. Dyna oedd y tro olaf iddo gael ei weld yn fyw. Ar ôl chwilio dyfal, methiant fu'r ymdrech i ddod o hyd iddo yn fyw neu'n farw. Er nad oedd corff wedi ei ddarganfod, wedi misoedd o ymchwilio, fe wnaeth yr Heddlu gyhuddo Michael Onufrejczyk o lofruddiaeth. Ond nid dyna ddiwedd y stori. Yn y podlediad hwn, mae’r newyddiadurwr Ioan Wyn Evans yn ail ymweld â’r achos ac yn ystyried beth arall allai fod wedi digwydd i’r cyn filwr o wlad Pwyl.
