Hello and welcome to the Renaissance English History Podcast, a part of the Agora podcast network.

I'm your host Heather Tusko, 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. In this episode, we're going to talk about jobs that people had in cities in Tudor England.

So this is for those of you who want to travel back in time to Tudor England so you can dust off your resume and start to update it with the skills you're going to need to work in a city in Tudor England.

Before we get started though, you're a regular reminder about TudorCon. You guys, it's like less than four months away.

Time to start planning that trip if you haven't yet. Three days of learning,

feasting, new friendships. I've been confirming the Friday night welcome party entertainment.

We've got all the speakers confirmed. We're like so ready for you, you guys. So one note is I am

going to be taking down the four month payment plan and making a two-month plan in just about a week or so.

Because since we're getting so much closer, I will need to have received the money by the event to pay the final bills.

So we are now four months out.

So, you know, the four-month payment plan is getting us right to the edge of when the event

will happen. So I'm going to take that down and change it to a two-month payment plan. So if you want to

pay over four months, get your ticket now-ish. So you can continue to do that. All right,

englandcast.com slash tutor con for all of the details and to reserve your spot.

So let's think about getting a job in the big city and what kind of work would have been available to us.

In the last episode, or the second to last episode, we talked about jobs available at the Tudor Court.

Today, we're going to take a different approach, relieving the grand halls of the court and the manicured gardens of the manor houses,

and we're going to step into the bustling streets of Tudor London.

We will rub elbows with the bakers at dawn, chat with the seamstresses in the morning,

and visit the mariners by the docks in the afternoon.
