Hey, hey, hey, everybody, and this is the Renaissance English History podcast. Welcome. 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 much more in touch with our own humanity.

So this is a supplementary episode. It's a chat that I had with James Bolton on the six wives or on the Tudor queens actually because we

started with Elizabeth of York. So not just the six wives. So the Tudor Queen consorts,

I should also get a little bit more specific, not the queen regnance, the consorts. So anyway,

we do these chats regularly over in the Tudor Learning Circle.

So if you are not part of the Tudor Learning Circle, why not?

You should join.

It's free.

TudorlearningCircle.com.

It's a social network just for tutor history lovers.

All right.

So I'm going to just jump right in and share the

discussion that James and I had. James Bolton is fantastic. He had a show called The Queens of

England podcast, which is how I discovered him. He also has another show now called The Other

Half where he goes in and does really deep dives on women in history.

Some of them are real. Some of them are mythological. It's really cool. So you should check that out.

All right. So let's get right into it.

Perfect. So we're recording. Okay, so James Bolton, you have the famous Queens of England podcast, and now your other

podcast, the other half, focusing on women throughout history.

Like we were just saying, not particularly narrative and chronological order and you dig really,

really deep on some of these women. So you seem to want to tell these stories of these women.
