Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Crown of Thorns with Faith Tibble - History with Jackson Book of The Year Winner 2025
Q: Why do people want to show themselves going through pain in depictions of Christ?
The enduring theme of 'zero to hero' legitimizes leadership through suffering, as seen in historical contexts, including Christ and medieval kings.
Crown of Thorns with Faith Tibble - History with Jackson Book of The Year Winner 2025
Q: How does the depiction of Jesus evolve over time?
Early Christian art was loving and avoided depicting pain, while medieval art became more aggressive and included suffering to legitimize kingship.
Crown of Thorns with Faith Tibble - History with Jackson Book of The Year Winner 2025
Q: What inspired you to write this book?
The inspiration came from a university conversation about Roman military decorations, leading to reflections on how soldiers treated Jesus during his mockery.
Elizabeth Boleyn: The Queen’s Mother with Sophie Bacchus-Waterman from Talking Tudors History with Jackson Podcast of The Year Winner 2025
Q: What can you tell us about what Elizabeth's role would have been in terms of their upbringing?
I think that Elizabeth was much more involved than we've allowed. ... we need to sort of think more broadly when you're trying to apply Elizabeth Boleyn to the story of Anne and the Boleyn family.
Elizabeth Boleyn: The Queen’s Mother with Sophie Bacchus-Waterman from Talking Tudors History with Jackson Podcast of The Year Winner 2025
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about what we know, about how it came about?
We know so little about, you don't even know the date of their marriage. ... it's probable that the Howard family returned south in about 1498.
