Do you like your history served up with a side of irreverent speculation? Tudor Time Machine is the podcast for you. Join 21st century hosts Jessica and Gage as they spar with Tudor Time Traveler Lady Philadelphia Carey, correspondent from the time of Elizabeth I. In our newest series, Out Brief Candle, Philadelphia sets out to solve a gruesome murder at William Shakespere’s Globe theater. It’s bloody good! In the series Times Riddle Philadelphia divulges damning secrets about her queen. You’ll never think of Elizabeth the same way! In Tudor Word of the Week Philadelphia gets us to talk like Tudors, and brings to light the real ( and pretty shocking) meaning of minikins, smell smock, mumping and even dump (it’s not what you think it is!) Intrigued? Our merch is here! https://tudor-time-machine.creator-spring.com/
