    Life Lessons from the Tudors: Mary I Right Now (ep 203)
    Nov 4 2024

    We all face situations where things don't turn out the way we expected, where our long-term plan has to be shelved for a moment, and where we need to change direction quickly. Mary I is a great example of how to succeed with a Right Now Plan.

    Anne Nevill, Queen of Roses, with Rebecca Batley (ep 201)
    Oct 16 2024

    In all the battles of the Wars of the Roses, with the focus on kings and warriors, we often lose sight of the women. Positioned to be queen first of Team Lancaster and eventually of Team York, Anne Neville is the focus of a new book by Rebecca Batley.

Very Interesting Podcast!

I became interested in Carol Ann Lloyd's work through her Smithsonian Associates lectures. Although her topics on their own are very interesting, it is her presentation of them that I enjoy the most. She presents the material as though she is having a conversation with her audience. She doesn't dictate a prepared monotone lecture; she speaks enthusiastically, asks questions, and encourages her audience to participate in the exchange of thoughts, theories, and ideas. She really is an excellent speaker! So when I learned that she had her own podcast, I immediately joined as a member (to gain access to the extra content), and now I eagerly listen to it every week.

Very annoying narration

The narrator is overly dramatic and turns the whole story into what sounds like a grade school play. What a pity.
