  • Mystery of the Cheapside Hoard
    Jun 9 2025

    In June 1912, two workmen made a discovery in the London mud that would stun the antiquarian world: a hoard of gold, pearls, rubies, emeralds, and jewels from around the world. Handed over to antiques dealer George Fabian Lawrence, or ‘Stony Jack’, the Cheapside Hoard became known as the greatest cache of Elizabethan and Jacobean jewellery ever found.


    Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Victoria Shepherd, author of Stony Jack and the Lost Jewels of Cheapside: Treasure and Ghosts in the London Clay, to tell this extraordinary true story of empire, ambition, and buried treasure—a glittering mystery that still captivates historians and treasure hunters today.

  • Fall of Thomas More
    Jun 5 2025

    In the second of our special episodes exploring the rise and fall of Sir Thomas More, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb and Dr. Joanne Paul chart the great Tudor statesman's demise. Despite his silence about Henry VIII's self-proclamation as Supreme Head of the Church of England, More was executed for treason on 6 July 1535. What were the events leading up to his fall from grace? How did More's position impact the King? And what can we now make of this contradictory character and his contribution to Renaissance thought?

  • Rise of Thomas More
    Jun 2 2025

    Thomas More is one of the most famous and controversial figures in English history. Was he truly the saintly man of conscience, immortalised by A Man for All Seasons? Or was he the stubborn zealot depicted in Wolf Hall? In the first of two episodes looking at Thomas More's rise and fall, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Joanne Paul, whose decade-long research into More drew upon new archival discoveries to unravel his complex legacy, his profound influence on modern Europe, the enduring debates about his faith and politics, and why his story still matters.

This was quite the fun ride through the complexities of Catherine Parr and her time!

Well prepared, great guests and Dr Lipscombs knowledge and sense of humour makes this a really enjoyable listen

Great series

This was a great interview that highlighted some interesting and needed research into non-mainstream historical sexuality. The researcher was clear, knowledgeable, and even witty, while never ignoring the tragedy of the subject. The interviewer, as always, was knowledgeable and well-prepared.

Fascinating, disturbing, and even funny

History Buffs Delight

This is a great podcast: a personable host, interesting topics, and a dry dash of humor. Susannah Lipscomb always prepares for each episode, asks interesting questions, and keeps the interviews lively without making them light on academics. The range of topics is startling while still staying linked to the late 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries and providing wonderful period context. No matter which part of the world the podcast travels to, its home base is the Tudors, with behind-the-hype/myth discussions of the people “everyone knows.” It’s definitely my favorite podcast!

Always fascinating
