  • False advertising

    Tuned in for parallel lives on Anne of Cleves and Kristina of Denmark. Got more lecturing about Catherine of Aragon and the Hapsburgs. I get it. They're all related but come on. I hung in for quite a while and heard very little about either of the title characters. Either stay on topic or title it appropriately.

  • Terrific Tudors source

    I have listened since the beginning and this has developed into a fine podcast. Rebecca has cultivated connections with many knowledgeable and articulate historians to cover so many aspects of Tudor times. This is an excellent podcast for anyone interested in this era.

  • Used to love it, can’t tolerate it anymore

    Offensive statement made about people of Spain and the constant laughter, inappropriate the giggling and the unprofessionalism? Unsubscribed.

  • Great info with no frills

    I greatly enjoy this podcast as one who is obsessed with Tudor history. I appreciate all the research that has gone into this show. Thanks!

    Update: Please leave modern politics out of the show. I just want to escape to a different time and don’t want your views of US politics.
