Episode 1 - VIII More Than We Could Tudor
Send us a text Hello dear listeners! We are back after a long hiatus with a return to our roots, talking about the Tudors, in particular Henry VIII. In this first of a two-parter we look at the early life and early reign of one of England, and maybe Europe's most iconic monarchs, on the anniversary of his Coronation, no less! And in this week's ridiculous death we look at what happens when you're minding your business in an English country garden. Credit for today's music goes to Kevi...
