In this episode, I’m joined by historical fiction author and Tudorcon favorite Adrienne Dillard for a deep (and delightfully honest) dive into Anne Boleyn’s rise, reign, and reputation. We chat about what made Anne so compelling, how much agency she really had, the angry Tudor mob that chased her down the Strand, and why modern labels like “feminist” don’t quite fit. It’s smart, funny, and refreshingly unfiltered, just how we like ...
They made kings, married queens, and launched rebellions. The Nevilles were once the most powerful family in England—and then the Tudors made sure they vanished. In this episode, we trace their rise, their fall, and the long shadow they left behind.

What really happened to Tom Canty after he swapped places with Edward VI in Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper?
In this conversation, I sit down with debut author Frederic Fahey to talk about his historical novel The Scoundrel’s Son, a rich and imaginative continuation of Twain’s classic tale—set in the heart of Tudor England. We chat about why Fred felt called to tell Tom’s story, the real Tudor figures who make appearances...
