0:00.0	Today's episode, The Queens of England podcast, is sponsored by Audible, the home of over
0:05.1	180,000 audiobooks and other spoken word products. Listen to the show cannot help but notice that I am
0:11.7	a bit of a fan of the immortal bard William Shakespeare, and who isn't? One of the great joys of
0:17.3	covering this period is that I've been able to quote sections from the play and insert scenes from some of my favourite productions. Today, though, I'm going to recommend something
0:25.1	a bit special, a full cast recording of the three Henry the Sixth plays, with narrators including
0:30.9	amongst others, the 10th Doctor, David Tennant. These are some of Shakespeare's most famous
0:35.8	histories and are a fascinating way into this bloody
0:38.1	period of English history. Follow the links in the show notes to take a look at these audiobooks.

1:39.3	First of all, I am very excited to say that I contributed a guest episode to David Crowther's
1:45.2	Superb History of England podcast. It was the story of Jane Shaw, the mistress of Edward VIII,
1:50.7	and an all-round, fascinating woman, who through the centuries has inspired everyone from
1:55.1	William Shakespeare to George R.R. Martin. I put a link to the episode in the show notes,
1:59.9	or you can just find David's show anywhere where you find podcasts. Second, I would like to welcome all those people
