Notes de l’épisode
When you think of Tudor-era England, you likely think of ruffs and gowns, kings and queens... and a single nationality living there. But in fact, immigrants came to (and left) England throughout the Tudor era.
Author Nandini Das shares the stories of many of these people in her new book This Little World: A New History of Tudor and Stuart England. Nandini joins us on the podcast to share some of these stories and how the Tudors worked hard to build England's national identity to solidify their precarious rule.

Notes de l’épisode
Tudor England is often thought of as overwhelmingly white. But in fact, people of African descent had a far greater presence than has previously been recognized.
We're joined for this episode by Dr. Onyeka Nubia. Dr. Nubia's original research shows that Tudors from many walks of life regularly interacted with people of African descent, both at home and abroad, revealing a genuine pragmatism towards race and acceptance of difference.

Notes de l’épisode
Margaret of Anjou was a prominent figure during England's Wars of the Roses, just before the Tudor Era. At the end of the Tudor Era, William Shakespeare wrote several plays about the Wars - and in these, we see Margaret progress from young Princess to warrior Queen to mystical witch-crone. No other character has such a dramatic portrayal across Shakespeare's plays.
The new book Shakespeare's Margaret is a biography of both Margaret, the real person, and also Margaret, the character written by Shakespeare. The book's authors Charles O'Malley and Scott W. Stern join us to talk all things Margaret and Shakespeare.

Notes de l’épisode
The Tudors are the most famous royal family in English history (or at least, the most notorious). Where did they come from? The surname came from Wales; their claim to the throne came partly from France, and it was, frankly, a little dodgy, which is why later Tudor Kings didn't want you to think about their claim to the throne too hard!
This week, we look at the women responsible for bringing the Tudor name to the throne: Catherine of Valois and Margaret Beaufort. With cameo appearances by Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Woodville and Elizabeth of York! Plus: the shortest possible explanation of the Wars of the Roses and all of the battles therein because this is NOT a battles-discussion podcast.

Notes de l’épisode
Ancient Rome is often thought of as an ideal society where toga-clad men debated democracy while eating grapes. But in fact, the Roman Empire and Republic couldn't have existed without slavery. What were these enslaved people's lives like? Pretty awful, actually!
Historian Emma Southon joins us to talk about slavery in Ancient Rome: what it was like, why people like to pretend it wasn't so bad, and what did Spartacus have to do with it all?

Notes de l’épisode
We're joined by return guest Gina Berry (previously heard on our Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, and Livia episodes) to talk about Syrian icon Queen Zenobia. Queen Z was maybe descended from Cleopatra, and definitely defeated the Romans (several times) - and lived to tell the tale.

Notes de l’épisode
English accents have been evolving ever since the first people started speaking this very strange language. People in historic films often speak with a modern British accent, and when they don't, people think it's inaccurate. But what did people really sound like during Shakespearean times? Or American Revolution times?
Author and linguist Valerie Fridland joins us to discuss all these questions and more!

Notes de l’épisode
Wallis Simpson was an American divorcee who won the heart of Prince Edward. In 1935, Edward abdicated as King so that he could marry Wallis. Meanwhile, his brother Prince Albert married Scottish noblewoman Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. For most of their lives, Elizabeth and Wallis hated each other.
This dramatic real-life rivalry inspired The Windsor Affair, a new novel by Melanie Benjamin. Melanie joins us to discuss this scandalous history and how modern-day British royal women compare to these famous rivals.

Vulgar History x Betwixt The Sheets: the collab you never knew you needed! I was so excited to chat with Dr. Kate Lister of Betwixt the Sheets about her new book: Flick: A Brief History of Female Pleasure.
Flick shares the story of female sexual pleasure from ancient Mesopotamia to the 1960s so-called sexual revolution and right up to modern day. Have you heard that proper British ladies would "sit back and think of England"? Guess what: they did NOT. Nor did doctors in the Victorian era prescribe vibrators!! Stop spreading that rumour!!

Notes de l’épisode
ArtMuse is a podcast about the women who inspired great works of art: the muses, whose names often go unknown.
This episode about Mary Robinson fits in perfectly with our Regency Era series, because she interacted with so many notable people of that era (like Emma Hamilton and trigger warning, Prinny). This is part one of two, so make sure to listen to part 2 on ArtMuse, wherever you get podcasts!
