Historian Dan Jones returns with This Is History: The Tudors. Season one gives you the extraordinary origin story of England’s most iconic royal family. This is the ultimate story of kings and queens, seduction and spectacle, where power is seized in private chambers, performed in public and, too often, lost on an executioner’s block. In just over a century, the Tudors alter the fabric of the stat... more

If Monty Python decided to do history, they might’ve rung up Dan Jones for the job. This podcast doesn’t just teach you about medieval shenanigans—it makes you want to invite Henry VIII over for a pint. Dan spins history yarns with such wit, you’ll laugh while learning how often kings really just needed better relationship advice.
Great podcast, totally love the content. But please stop it with the ‘join my gang’ requests, irrelevant US adverts, and forcing Jay Shetty’s podcast on us at every opportunity.
I appreciate the commercial nature of podcasts, but the repetition is ridiculous.
If you love history - you will love this podcast. I just wish the episodes were longer.
Love the pod, but I can very much confirm I won’t enjoy Jay Shetty so please stop dropping ads for this drivel in my feed every other week.
I’m an English history lover but have really struggled to find a binge-worthy podcast that I can enjoy from beginning to end. I’ve devoured the first two seasons and plan on making through the rest and beyond. A great compliment to the History Hit compilation, though not connected. Keep up the great work!
