| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the new season of the Tudors Dynasty podcast. |
| 0:04.1 | I'm the founder and host of the show, and I am so pleased that you are back for another season with us. |
| 0:10.8 | Today, we are launching the new season with an episode on Holbein's Hidden Gem with three amazing guests that I think you're really going to enjoy. |

| 0:26.0 | The Tudors Dynasty podcast. |
| 0:50.7 | Hi, everyone. My name's David Holland, and I'm the founder and organiser of an event that's being held in England next year called the Wolf Hall weekend. And it's a tribute and a celebration of Dame Hilary Mantel, the late Dame Hilary |
