  • Love the show mostly

    I’m a patron so yeah I love it. The topics are a deep dive into mostly Tudor but more recently expanded to encompass a broader time frame. For example, the latest show featured Boudicca and Urraca. I’m all for bringing fascinating history to the forefront. I recommend Tudors Dynasty & Beyond with one caveat. If chit-chat is not your jam, just be forewarned there’s a fair amount if it’s Dr.Emma and Rebecca. If this is you, maybe skip the first 5-7 minutes of the show. Not that they aren’t fun, an... more

  • Dr. Emma and Me 1 &2

    I couldn’t hardly listen due to the laughter and banter. Dr. Emma’s voice is squeaky and high pitched, put a filter on it. The subject matter is interesting, but I couldn’t get through it because of the inaneness. Won’t listen again!

  • I do love the show but…

    I do love the show and have it 5 stars but I wish the host Rebecca Larson would seem more prepared. I just listened to the myth and misconceptions episode and it seemed she wasn’t prepared for the episode and could have definitely contributed more.

    Again I am a fan of the show and I wish it always the best!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Women Who Ruled the World
Q: How do you see queenship changing from the ancient queens to Queen Elizabeth II?
Queenship stays somewhat similar, but by the 19th century, it's much easier for women to reign without usurpation. Elizabeth II's reign shows that although she faced challenges, there were never serious questions about her being crowned as queen.
Lower than the Angels: A History of Sex and Christianity
Q: What insights did you discover about the biblical perspective on gender?
He reveals that traditional views of gender in the Bible are oversimplified, and that early texts suggest a more complex understanding of maleness and femaleness.
Lower than the Angels: A History of Sex and Christianity
Q: How did you approach organizing the facts for your book?
MacCulloch emphasizes the need to identify themes and periods to structure the extensive timeline covering 3,000 years of history.
Lower than the Angels: A History of Sex and Christianity
Q: What inspired you to write this book?

The Queen's Husband: The Men Who Wed Mary, Queen of Scots (Series, Ep. 1)
Q: Was there ever a point that Mary, Queen of Scots could have turned things around?
Yes, if not for the murder of Rizzio, Mary might have retained control of her circumstances and advisors better.
