Ep 141 - Tudor Depictions feat. Phoebe Roy
Added 2023-11-15 15:00:51 +0000 UTCpatrons, here's your ad-free version of this week's episode. it's an interview so we didn't answer any questions but we will get back to it next time.
folks, in this episode we brought in a special guest and friend of the show, Phoebe Roy, co-host of the Ten Thousand Posts and Masters of Our Domain podcasts, to talk with us about depictions of Tudor England in books and TV. the Tudors are, of course, a foundational aspect of English history and culture, so it's interesting to see the many and varied depictions they get nowadays, especially when those depictions are made for American audiences or others who might not be so familiar with the Tudors. we talk with Phoebe about three works: Wolf Hall, the historical fiction novel by Hilary Mantel; Blackadder II, the BBC sitcom about Elizabeth's courtiers; and The Tudors, a big budget prestige drama about Henry VIII's court.
check it out, you'll love it and check out Phoebe's other shows too!

Came here to say omg Luke you definitely need to watch Blackadder but also I cried just listening to the podcast *description* of the final scene in ww1 Blackadder it's... absolutely one of the best/most awful portrayals ever of the fact that war kills actual normal people (even though Blackadder and Baldrick etc not exactly normal)
