From films to television, plays to musicals and hundreds and hundreds of books, Anne Boleyn has been portrayed in many different ways. Her story and the mythology around her has been a constant source of inspiration for the big and small screen, but how much of an impact has it had on the way we perceive Anne? Well to discuss this, I am pleased to welcome Susan Bordo onto the podcast for a discussion based around her book, The Creation of Anne Boleyn, In Search of the Tudor's Most Notorious Queen. In the episode Susan and I discuss the different portrayals of Anne, what parts of Anne’s story she would find amusing or baffling and also, which I am sure many people will be very excited to hear, what happened when Susan was able to spend three whole hours talking face to face with none other than Natalie Dormer herself!

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
