• Black Tudors Whose Stories Shaped British History
    Feb 19 2025

    Our final podcast of Black History month will focus on Black Tudors, with some context from the years before and after the Tudor period and a sense of what is happening around the world. This is an area of Tudor history I do not know enough about, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to dig into the scholarship of so many wonderful historians to learn more.

    For history to show us what's possible, we need to know more of the stories and see the larger, messier, more inclusive picture of the past.

  • Life Lessons: Making Decision Based on Values and Thomas More (ep 212)
    Feb 3 2025

    When faced with important decisions, what makes us say "yes" or "no"? Are our responses based on circumstance, fear of the person making the request, or our values? This week we take a look at Macbeth, Hamlet, and Thomas More to think about our values and how we use them.

  • Behind the Scenes of Great Houses with Adrian Tinniswood (ep 211)
    Jan 22 2025

    Imagine stepping into an opulent life in the golden age of Britain, where old money met new and elite lives played out in the great homes across the country. With acres of land and a collision of architectural styles, the rural palaces of Victorian and Edwardian England were the stages on which aristocracy performed. Adrian Tinniswood joins Royals, Rebels, and Romantics to discuss his new book The Power and the Glory: Life in the English Country House Before the Great War.
