Fantastic podcast filled with everything you ever wanted to know about the Tudor's.
This podcast is fascinating. I’ve spent so much time reading about the Tudor period and its history but this podcast always exposes me to new information and ideas. Natalie is a skilled interviewer asking her guests questions that delve deeper into a subject. I also find her voice calming and lovely.
Thoroughly enjoyed the episode about Accidental Death with Prof Steven Gunn. Very interesting to hear how the available data informed the research. Made me want to dive in to documents in the Archives again.
The host is delightful and very skillfully engages with her guests to bring out the most interesting stories. Easy to listen to and informative. One of the best podcasts of its kind.
I really like this show! Interesting topics and guests. I really love how the host manages to be very upbeat while also not annoying or overwhelming when talking about history. She asks really great questions and clarifies when needed for nonhistorians! An all around great podcast!
