Back in February 2021, when Kate and Cally first had the idea for their podcast and began to brainstorm ideas, one of our first theme ideas was “court.” We knew that, someday, we wanted to devote an entire series/season of the show to that crazy mess of a political and cultural institution: the Tudor court. Someday is now!
What do we mean when we refer to “court”? That’s a bit complicated, as Sunday’s season premiere will explain. But throughout the summer, we hope to show you just how fascinating, beautiful, and dangerous court can be—especially for our six queens. We’ll have episodes on everything from politics to fashion to portraiture, and how all of these things inform each other.
