Six Queens on Screen: Becoming Elizabeth
Kate and Cally return to discuss what they've been watching all summer: the new series "Becoming Elizabeth" on STARZ. The drama depicts the teenage years of the future Queen Elizabeth I as she navigates the politics of the Tudor court. Our sixth queen, Katherine Parr, makes a rare screen appearance, and the legacies of other queens continue to influence the lives of their surviving children.
What was good? What was...well, icky? Did the writers and actors do justice to our queens and the period in which they lived? And most importantly, what did Kate and Cally think of the COSTUMES?

Six Queens on Screen: Wolf Hall
Paying tribute to the late great Dame Hilary Mantel, Kate and Cally discuss the Wolf Hall novels and their 2015 television adaptation. The series tells the story of the Tudor court through the eyes of Thomas Cromwell: his rise to power, his work for Henry VIII, and his interactions with the first four of our queens, especially Anne Boleyn.
How was Mantel able to use fiction to fill gaps in the historical record? Are her portrayals of the Tudors fair? And how has this iconic work shaped Tudor drama as a whole?
