(You’re Dead to Me via BBC Radio 4 )
A Visual Synthesis of the podcast You’re Dead To Me: Leonardo Da Vinci (Live) broadcast August 2024 - Hosted by Greg Jenner, with Catherine Fletcher and Dara Ó Briain
Da Vinci: genius or glorified doodler? This playful episode dives into Leonardo’s inventions, half-finished paintings, and Renaissance multitasking.
PodDoodle focus: The sketch captures the discussion around Leonardo’s polymath habits, his curious brain, and the question of whether creativity needs completion to be meaningful.

The Scenes
Andrew went back to basics and illustrated ‘You’re Dead to Me’ on his office whiteboard.
“Getting back on the whiteboard has been fun. I really love visually translating great content to see what I can come up with. Mostly it’s about understanding the information for myself. As I drew this I was reminded of working with Earth 300 for a book on the history of art for Profile Books. I made the mistake of calling Leonardo ‘da Vinci’ - for which I was scolded, and rightly so! This also annoys Greg Jenner. It’s a great podcast - sadly because Dara o Briain’s pen runs out there are less jokes in the second half! Even managed to squeeze in Brian Cox!”
