This is the Tudors Dynasty podcast. And now, Rebecca Larson.

Welcome to the show. This episode is my final episode before I take a brief break from recording.

Don't worry, I'll be back in September.

When I made the announcement that I would be switching to seasons in order to be able to spend more

time with my family, I figured I needed my final episode to be a big one, one to hold you over

for two months. I'm pleased to announce that, in my opinion, I was able to do just that by booking Dan Jones as a guest.

Dan Jones is a historian and author who many of you may recognize without needing an introduction.

For those who are not as familiar with Dan, you may recognize him as the host of Secrets of Great British Castles on Netflix or a narrator of Britain's bloodiest dynasty, as well as a plethora of tutor-themed programs.

Dan has eight books under his belt with his most recent one, Crusaders, due out in the fall in the U.S.

It is with great pleasure that I welcome Dan Jones to the show today.

Dan, welcome to the show.

It's very nice to be on the show.

Thank you for inviting.

Well, I would like to start out with a couple questions to kind of get to know you,

and then we'll kind of circle back

again and just kind of have it all tie in together. So are you ready?

Born ready. You ask me anything you want and I'll endeavor to tell you the truth.

Oh, that could be dangerous. Well, first we'll start. As you probably know, I am a huge fan of your Facebook live videos that you do on occasion.

And I love them.

You just come off as very real when you do them.

So I think that's why a lot of your followers appreciate them so much.

In your videos, you mention your daughters.
