Registered by the 5th of September to get started.

The Open University.

The future is open. Hello and welcome to the Renaissance English History Podcast, a part of the Agora Podcast Network.

I'm your host, Heather Tesco, and I'm a storyteller who makes history accessible because I believe

it's a pathway to understanding who we are, our place in the universe, and being more deeply in touch

with our own humanity. This episode is all about how normal farmers and people would get ready

for winter, because it's that time of year when we're doing things like putting in weather

stripping and it made me think about what our tutor friends would have been doing right now in

November prepping for winter. Before we get started though, TudorCon of course, I mean, I do this

every time, right? But unbelievably, we're like nine months from TudorCon.

And I wanted to give you a quick update on speakers. We have five speakers confirmed, including

Seamus O'Callie, who has been on this show before talking about Henry the 8th's medical ailments.

So that's going to be super interesting. Also, Janet Wirtman and Caroline Lloyd are both coming

back. Both of them have popular podcasts, books, even a TED Talk. So it's going to be amazing.

And I hope you're there. Plus, this week for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, I guess Black Friday

is already over when I'm releasing this,
