Mm, picnic. What does one take to a picnic? Crisps, dips, sausage rolls. No, come on, think outside the box.

Mm, napkins? What are you, the mum? No, something a bit more exciting. Something like, I'll have those red scratch cards, please.

Hey and welcome to the Renaissance English History Podcast.

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 deeply in touch with our own humanity. This is a

supplemental episode. It's a chat with Tracy Borman on the private lives of the Tudors. And this was from the 2019

Tudor Summit. So again, I think I said a couple weeks ago, I have all of these talks and hours

and hours worth of interviews that I'm going to start releasing here on the feed. So I hope you

enjoy this with Tracy Borman. It was a real joy for me to speak with her.

And she was so generous with her time.

And I really learned a lot.

And I hope you do too.

So enjoy.

Hello and welcome.

The very first speaker today needs no introduction,

but I'm going to share her biography with you anyway.

Tracy Borman studied and taught history at the University of Hull and was awarded a PhD in 1997.

She went on to a successful career in heritage and has worked for a range of historic properties and national heritage organizations, including the Heritage Lottery Fund, National Archives, and English Heritage.
