It's April 1st, and I'm not going to trick you. Instead, let's ask a genuine question: did the Tudors even DO April Fools' Day?
The answer is no, not really. But what they did instead is so much more interesting. We dig into the murky origins of Apr... more

I’ve listened to podcasts since they first came out. Anytime there is more than 1 speaker (eg a show host & a show guest) it’s always risky due to banter & interpersonal dynamics. Heather is the main speaker with an occasional guest. Always Heather is on topic & always the history is presented in a context that is relatable. I ordered the 2026 planner & can’t wait to see it. Her level of professionalism exceeds other podcasts & I for one greatly appreciate Heather staying on topic & presenting s... more

Switzerlanda year ago - Very much enjoy this podcast
I am extremely picky about accuracy and interesting content and this podcast nails both. I like that you can tell this is a passion project and appreciate the amount of preparation the host clearly puts into each episode. I also valued the host (briefly) sharing her experience with pregnancy loss early in the show. It showed considerable bravery and vulnerability and helps bring awareness to a difficult, often ignored experience that impacts many, many people each year. Bravo!
