  • [YouTube Drop] The Coffeehouse Revolution
    How did coffee change England forever? In this episode, we trace the rise of coffee houses from Oxford’s first shop in 1650 to London’s bustling Cornhill, where pamphlets, politics, and newspapers were brewed alongside the coffee. We’ll see why Charles II tried to ban them, how the Women’s Petition Against Coffee mocked them, and how Lloyd’s Coffee House gave birth to one of the world’s great financial institutions. Coffee houses weren’t just about caffeine. They were the birthplace of England’s public sphere. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • [YouTube Drop] How the Reformation Invented Restaurants
    When did people first start eating out in England, and how did the Reformation play a role? This episode traces the rise of taverns, cook shops, and ordinaries in medieval and Tudor England, from the first tablecloths in Westminster to the explosion of alehouses after the monasteries closed. Discover how eating out shifted from charity to commerce, and why it mattered for more than just food. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • [YouTube Drop] Susan Bertie
    The countess who raised a poet: Susan Bertie helped shape Aemilia Lanyer while dodging royal side-eye and surviving two widowhoods. Quick story, big ripples. Born in 1554 to Katherine Willoughby and Richard Bertie, Susan Bertie’s childhood began in Marian exile and continued in a Protestant household at Grimsthorpe under Miles Coverdale. At sixteen she married Reginald Grey, recognized as Earl of Kent in 1572; widowed in 1573, she later married soldier Sir John Wingfield, lived in the Low Countries, and returned after his death at Cadiz in 1596. Remembered as Aemilia Lanyer’s “Mistress of my youth,” Susan’s quiet patronage shaped an early woman poet. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Episode 306: The Greys
    The Grey family turns up again and again in late medieval and Tudor history, from Elizabeth Woodville’s first marriage, to Lady Jane Grey’s nine-day reign, to her sisters’ scandals under Elizabeth I. In this episode, we trace the story of the Greys across the centuries, exploring how one family rose from Bedfordshire gentry to the very edge of the throne, only to find that being “almost royal” was as dangerous as it was powerful.
