I only occasionally listen to this podcast but hit by chance on a superb episode with expert guest Professor Tom Betteridge offering a much-needed complex, nuanced view of Sir Thomas More. He moves beyond the image of both the liberal saint painted by Robert Bolt in A Man for all Seasons and the hair-shirted Protestant-burning fanatic of Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall.

Thank you for showing how White people of Europe are literally the largest terrorists to ever circumnavigate the globe. Sincerely, a Native American
I tuned in for an interesting listen about the intersection of English Tudor and the new world. Instead, I got preachy, woke commentary about the “colonial project” and white people did wrong, blah blah blah. So bad.
Solid content but boring because the narration sounds like a lecture from class.
I want to work for this podcast! Enjoy the deep dives. Thank you!
