42:37|In this episode, I’m joined by historical fiction author and Tudorcon favorite Adrienne Dillard for a deep (and delightfully honest) dive into Anne Boleyn’s rise, reign, and reputation. We chat about what made Anne so compelling, how much agency she really had, the angry Tudor mob that chased her down the Strand, and why modern labels like “feminist” don’t quite fit. It’s smart, funny, and refreshingly unfiltered, just how we like our history.Check out Adrienne at https://adrienne-dillard.com/Tudorcon From Home tickets athttps://www.englandcast.com/TudorconFromHomeThe Nevilles: The Family That Made (and Lost) Kings

32:46|What really happened to Tom Canty after he swapped places with Edward VI in Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper?In this conversation, I sit down with debut author Frederic Fahey to talk about his historical novel The Scoundrel’s Son, a rich and imaginative continuation of Twain’s classic tale—set in the heart of Tudor England. We chat about why Fred felt called to tell Tom’s story, the real Tudor figures who make appearances (yes, including Lady Jane Grey!), and how a scientist-turned-author finds inspiration in friendship, identity, and loss.Also: the Wicked book cover connection, writing strong Tudor women, and the character who punches people in the nose when necessary.Did the Tudors Have....
22:25|So there I was, minding my own business, and I thought it would be fun to type "did the Tudors have..." into Google, and see what the Internet thinks the world wonders about Tudor history. This episode is the answer to the question you didn't know you had, and yet, here we are. I went down the Tudor Rabbit Hole so you don't have to. You're welcome.
