- Brilliant Podcast
I love this podcast I’m obsessed with the tudors have been since school (which was 45 years ago lol) so I love anything Tudor related - what I love most about this podcast is the research: particularly into the people who worked behind the scenes ; my favourite ones are the “What if” episodes I find them fascinating and lastly I love how Heather pulls everything together on podcast and she’s so easy to listen too!
