Your Place Or Mine

Your Place Or Mine is the travel show that is going nowhere, - not until guests can convince Shaun it’s worth getting off the sofa for. Each week a familiar face will try to persuade Shaun Keaveny and resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence that jetting off to their favourite destination is worth the hassle.

Broadcast on BBC Radio 4 it is also available on BBC sounds.

Terrible lizards is a podcast about dinosaurs with Dr David Hone and Iszi Lawrence. It has been going for eight series and is regularly in the top five natural history podcast charts. Focusing not only on what we know, but how we know what we know, Terrible Lizards brings cutting edge paleontology to life.

Both Iszi and Dave made friends over fifteen years ago but had lost touch... thanks to a chance meeting at a rather good Christmas Party in 2019 they were reunited. In 2020 the world felt like it was ending, dinosaurs and extinction was the perfect subject to cover in a podcast.

Iszi is both the presenter and part of the production team for the Official British Museum Membercast which explores the exclusive member’s events including lectures and sleepovers. She interviews world experts in the fields of Archaeology, History, Science and Conservation.

You can listen to Making History on The BBC Website, iTunes and BBC Sounds.

Iszi was co-host of Making History but started as the roving reporter covering topics as various as 19th century prison reform to making woad.

The Z List Dead List is about obscure people from History. It was launched in September 2014 and regularly frequented the top ten history podcasts on iTunes. A mix of live show and interview, with previous guests including Griff Rhys Jones, Tom Holland, Robin Ince, Dan Carlin, Jo Caulfield, Natalie Haynes and many more.

While the podcast hasn’t updated since the pandemic - it is still being listened to and downloaded so the feed is live for people to enjoy.

Iszi also tours it at a live show at Museums, theatres and festivals throughout the uk. It can be tailored to any theme. Do get in touch if you want to book iszi for a performance.

For a long time Iszi has been making podcasts with her friend and writer Simon Dunn. We no longer update this incredibly immature and silly podcast but if you fancy a journey down into Iszi’s past - Setisoppo and Sundays supplement are still available to listen to.

What’s the opposite of a potato? Iszi and Simon find the opposites of everything from barbie dolls to empiricism. It is a silly podcast, and a it baffles us so many of you listen.
