In this episode, we go beyond the fairytale image to uncover the real expectations placed on royal daughters. Princesses were far more than ornaments of the court - they were political assets, diplomatic bridges, and the key to securing dynastic futu... more

I loved this episode! I’ve only recently come to the story of Matilda but Matt’s telling of her life was so enjoyable, funny, and had me zoned in for the entire hour. I listen to Matt’s podcast as well, and these last two weeks of him joining Rebecca have been so great.
Especially enjoy when Matt Smith is on as a guest! I appreciate that he’s not afraid to think “outside the box”. Will be listening to your most recent interview with him again. Who doesn’t love a good mystery? 😃
Love this show!
This show has so much potential to be good — I see the titles of the episodes and get excited for the topic and then literally half of the show is just talking about nothing relevant and it makes it impossible to listen. It’s not that I don’t like hosts who talk—it’s a great way to get to know the host, but ladies, you’ve got to try to stay on topic.
Podcast has become excessively chatty in recent years especially when Dr. Emma is on. The constant giggly chitchat is annoying and I have to sift through schoolgirl gossip to find Tudor topics. The chattiness, banter and nonstop laughter get on my nerves. I love Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn but not when other topics are up for discussion. I unsubscribed.

The show centers on Tudor history and related European contexts, balancing in-depth historical discussion with accessible storytelling. Episodes frequently explore royal intrigue, diplomacy, and influential women, while also entertaining speculative “what if” scenarios and lively banter between hosts. A notable pattern is collaborations with historians and authors who bring generous historical detail, whether unpacking childbirth in royal households, evaluating diplomatic roles, or revisiting familiar figures through fresh angles. A standout trait is the recurring Dr. Emma & Me segment, which pairs humor and scholarship for a broad audience of history enthusiasts who appreciate rigorous research delivered in an engaging, conversational styl... more
