Noteworthy News #11: Tudors Dynasty and Beyond

Looking back in my posts I couldn't believe I hadn't posted one of these since September! I guess there hasn't been a lot of news to impart, but this week I found something I want to share. And I'm finishing three books right now so no time to write a solid review by Friday. This was the perfect week to share about yet another great podcast I've found.

Tudors Dynasty and Beyond is hosted by researcher and historian Rebecca Larson. She has been hosting this show since 2017 and started out exclusively discussing the Tudors. Since then she has branched out, hence the name...and Beyond. It is the beyond part that caught me because I am someone who read and devoured all things Tudors years ago and am more interested in the time periods before them. She has lots of great shows from the last two years centering on other eras.

Her guests have included Matt Lewis and Dan Jones, two of my favorite historians and she has a great style of casual banter with serious content. Books and websites are promoted which I love of course and as I've exhausted the content of some of my other favorite history podcasts this feels like a fresh new start with tons of shows to listen to between audiobooks. 

Her website, tudorsdynasty.com, has great articles, courses, an index of Tudor ancestors, and even a shop where you can buy fun Tudor items. 

If you love medieval history that is presented in an easy to understand way with episodes under an hour to easily finish on a short car ride this is the podcast for you. It's going to cut into my book listening time I'm sure!

Happy listening y'all and happy Friday!!
