0:00.0	This is Angela O'Dell and you are listening to real cool history for kids.
0:15.0	A podcast show featuring history told from a distinctly biblical worldview perspective.
0:21.0	Welcome to an adventure.
0:24.0	Welcome to episode 124 of real cool history for kids. This episode is for Linenbert who wanted to hear
0:40.4	the story of King Henry the 8th and the Tudor family.
0:48.4	Before I begin telling the story, I want you to go grab your world map or globe if you can. I think it's important that
