  • Love

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

I’ve never seen a pod... more

Thomas More, A Life and Death in Tudor England with Dr Joanne Paul
Q: Before we get into that discussion, just a few questions for people to get to know you a bit better. So can you provide me with just a quick intro into your background, where you grew up and what it is that you do full time?
Joanne explains her Canadian background, long-term residence in the UK, and her shift from historical study to narrative non-fiction and authorship, framing how her path led to Thomas More.
Capturing a Queen - The Image of Anne Boleyn with Kate McCaffrey
Q: What makes the bee pendant portraits so iconic today?
They survived in large numbers and were revived in later periods, especially during Elizabeth I's reign, becoming a visual shorthand for Anne that has been reinforced by popular culture and media over time.
Capturing a Queen - The Image of Anne Boleyn with Kate McCaffrey
Q: Could you introduce the exhibition for me? What is it and what is included?

It guides visitors through how Anne has been imagined and reimagined across centuries, ending with a room where visitors vote on which image they think is closest to Anne.
Exile, The Captive Years of Mary, Queen of Scots with Rosemary Goring
Q: How did Mary's correspondence affect Elizabeth's decisions about her?
