  • Desperately needs a professional audio editor

    I LOVE the topics on this podcast. I love the host, I love the guests. But so many episodes are unlistenable due to audio issues. Frequently, it plays a couple seconds, then replays that bit, then the next couple seconds, then it replays that bit, and so on. Some only do this in the first minute and the rest in the episode is OK, others it continues well into the episode. I have probably skipped a good 10-15 episodes due to this issue. (I wish I could blame Apple Podcasts for the issue, but I ha... more

  • Love

    This is a really great podcast - interesting guests, topics, and a very engaging host.

    If you enjoy others shows like “Talking Tudors” and “Not Just The Tudors”, you will love this.

    ONE DOWNSIDE (and why I’m marking 4 stars for an otherwise 5-star pod) is that 50% of the show is behind a paywall. These aren’t just “bonus” Patreon episodes, or “early release for subscribers” episodes— you literally can’t listen to HALF of all the episodes unless you pay. That really sucks. I’ve never seen a pod... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

England’s Bears, The Blood and Glory of the House of Warwick, Part 1, with Aaron Manning
Q: Who was Guy of Warwick, and is there a sense that his legend helped shape the Beaumont family's identity?
Guy was a popular medieval romance hero whose legend connected Warwick to chivalry and royal authority. The Beaumonts showed little interest in the story, but later Beauchamp Earls adopted it as part of their dynastic identity.
England’s Bears, The Blood and Glory of the House of Warwick, Part 1, with Aaron Manning
Q: Who was Morkar of Mercia, and why did you begin the story there, given that he wasn't an Earl of Warwick?
Morkar provides a view of the pre-Conquest political world. After failed attempts to resist Norman rule, he was captured and held at Beaumont, whose family would take control of lands formerly associated with his family.
Tudor Childbirth in the Royal Court, The Midwives & The Mothers with Brigitte Barnard
Q: Jane Seymour's death has been put down to parable fever. You believe otherwise. So can you walk me through the argument that you put forward, which is dysentery?
Barnard argues that records describe spoiled meat, food poisoning and dysentery symptoms, and that Jane's symptoms do not indicate a uterine infection or retained placenta.
Tudor Childbirth in the Royal Court, The Midwives & The Mothers with Brigitte Barnard
Q: What did the sources show that you, when you were looking at them, that historian, without the background you have, you are a trained midwife, what would a historian have missed that you did not?
Barnard says a midwife's experience helps identify signs and symptoms of labor, pregnancy complications, miscarriage and stillbirth, and the mechanics of birth.
Queen Elizabeth’s Governess, The Real Kate Ashley with Rosemary Griggs
Q: What made you rethink Kate Ashley's image beyond the familiar nanny narrative?
The letters and family archives, especially the way contemporaries refer to her with respect, and the evidence of her influence in education, court access, and political maneuvering, suggest a much broader role than simply a caretaker.
