I love listening to every new episode of this podcast. It really appeals to my love of the Tudors and I particularly enjoyed the latest episode on the fate of the Boleyn family.
Garreth Russel should be on all of these podcasts! He and Tracy are perfect together!
Thank you for sharing all the history and knowledge. Guests are credible, knowledgeable educators who are passionate and prepared. The staff do a fantastic job interviewing and balancing their knowledge with the knowledge of the guest. These are great to listen to when winding down or when taking long walks.

My personal library is full of books of history. Many of those books are of Tudor history so I am very much enjoying this podcast. They complement many of the shows I watch on our local PBS station. Well done and many thanks for all your efforts.
These podcasts are wonderful.
The presenters cover so many different topics, which includes a mini series called ‘A Space I Love’, and also introductions to the current PhD students and what their research is.
It keeps the podcasts very fresh.
Tudors do feature in many episodes, of course, but i’m very glad that other dynasties are covered.
Gareth Russell is an absolute gem.
