Hey, this is Heather with the Renaissance English History podcast. And this is an abbreviated version of the Tudor Music Hour.

This is a radio show that I do in the UK every Sunday at 9 a.m. You can listen to it on Mad Wasp Radio.

You can check that out on tune in or you can listen directly. So I am also putting out the abbreviated version here on the podcast

feed for those of you who want to listen more. So the thing about this is because I don't have

a radio license myself, I can only play 30 seconds snippets of the music. In the radio program live,

I play the full pieces. But here for this purpose, I can only play 30 seconds.

So here's the deal. If you like what you hear and you want to hear more, you can go to Tudor

Music Hour.com, where I have links to a Spotify playlist for every episode. So you can grab the

full pieces and listen to your hearts contend. You can also go to

Tudermusikhour.com for more information about the show, links to how you can listen live,

and everything like that. So thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it.

So every week,

we look at a different theme or composer. This week, we're going to talk about music as

Tudor Propaganda, looking at a few examples of times when the Tudors used music to further their

message. So this actually came out of an episode that I did several years ago on Tudor Portraits as propaganda,

and I will put links to that episode up on Tudor Music Hour if you're interested. It's still

one of my most popular shows, so Tudermusikhour.com, if you want to listen to that. I looked at Tudor

portraiture as examples of how the Tudor monarchs were using this new medium to get their messages across, right? And we think about these examples of how the Tudor Monarchs were using this new medium to get their messages across,
