  • Six Wives: Katherine of Aragon & Anne Boleyn

    Six Wives: Katherine of Aragon & Anne Boleyn
    Dec 23 2024

    In the first of three special Christmas editions, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb offers another chance to hear the series from earlier this year in which she took an in-depth look into the six wives of Henry VIII, revealing the rich stories and incredible lives of these women who changed the monarchy - and England - forever. For the next three editions, we’ve joined two of those episodes together in turn to create bumper episodes. Suzannah begins with Renaissance Queen Katherine of Aragon and the woman who replaced her in Henry’s affections, the tragic Anne Boleyn. The episode delves into the fascinating lives, achievements, and sad ends of these two influential Queens, exploring their backgrounds, marriages, and the political dynamics at Henry VIII's court.


    Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Alice Smith and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.

  • Pirates of the Pacific & the Spanish Empire

    Pirates of the Pacific & the Spanish Empire
    Dec 16 2024

    Pirates weren’t just a menace on the high seas - they were a direct threat to Spain’s empire-building ambitions in the Pacific. Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Kristie Patricia Flannery to hear the untold story of how Spanish officials, Catholic missionaries, Indigenous Filipinos, and Chinese migrants joined forces to battle Chinese and Muslim pirates, as well as the British Navy during the Seven Years’ War. This is a fascinating look at the darker side of globalisation and European imperialism.


    Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Alice Smith, audio editor is Amy Haddow and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.

Informative and so intriguing!

Great podcast. I particularly enjoyed the encouragement listeners receive of viewing these 'cases' in human ways.

Makes me feel clever & informed

This is an amazing podcast! Each topic is discussed with an expert who explains it in a way that I can understand without feeling patronised. It shines a light on some extraordinary ideas that I hadn't even thought about: Katherine Parr is now so much more than the wife that 'survived'. In fact, the reclaiming of women at the time is fascinating. Witchcraft is a theme that weaves itself through the series, which itself shows how Europe viewed women at different points. I love the format and actually make a point of being focused on what is being said.

Fantastic, thoroughly recommend

I've been listening to NJTT for a year or two now, and I'm a massive fan. The format is usually for a historian to come and talk about an area of their work with Susannah, who is an engaging host. The topics are usually interesting, but this is a fairly serious history podcast, which means long episodes on occasionally obscure topics. If you're here for that (and I am), then you will love it. But generally, it is not pop history. It is part of the History Hit stable and I recommend you check out their other pods on different history periods.
