25 JAN 2022 · Look. Sometimes, doing things is hard. So many of the statements in this episode are no longer true (such as, but not limited to, “there was no royalty news this week” or “next week is Christmas). But much like the appearance of ghosts in this episode, better late than never! Abby and Danny are here to recap the final episode of the first season of The Spanish Princess. Will Catherine of Aragon embrace her destiny? Will Margaret Beaufort finally confirm that Catherine and Arthur had sex?? Was any of this show historically accurate??? All this plus: "what's in the box?"
TV Episode: The Spanish Princess, season 1, episode 8: Destiny
History Lesson: The Death of Henry VII and the Rise of Henry VIII: How It Actually Happened

14 DEC 2021 · Oy! Abby and Danny’s ADoyHD is in full force this episode, as we contemplate whether Catherine of Aragon should STAY in England or GO home! All of her friends and enemies have an opinion to register, except for Edmund de la Pooooooooooool, who has come to Maggie Pole in her time of greatest need (aka moments before and/or after and/or during sending her kids away) and is ready to strike! The entire saga is told in the Tudors classic “All Too Well (7 Year Version) (Catherine’s Version).” Be sure to stick around for the post-credits scene to see if Thanos and Henry VIII will finally team up. Is this podcast really as incoherent as this paragraph? Or is it just Danny’s crappy audio? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT! All this plus: Queen Elizabeth II is an animorph.

7 DEC 2021 · Oy! This episode sees us branching out, to explore other corners of the British Royal History Cinematic Universe. Specifically, the rest of Ferdinand and Isabella’s children, as Joanna washes up on England’s shores and shakes things up for Catherine and company. Everyone sees an opportunity to use her to advance their agenda, but who will reign victorious? (Spoiler alert: not Maggie Pole.) In our history lesson, Abby introduces the children of Ferdinand and Isabella and the awful mistreatment of Joanna. We are soberly reminded that pretty much all historical figures are, in actuality, Very Bad. But don’t worry, because Queen Elizabeth II is going to grow tentacles, so that’s cool, at least?

9 NOV 2021 · ‘uzzah! It’s time to address the aftermath of the death of a queen and King Henry has left a lot of questions unanswered. Are the Tudors cursed? Will Lina and Oviedo run away together? Why is Fake Thomas Boleyn everywhere? Just as chaos is about to descend, Henry bids his inexplicable lion companion farewell and tweets an update that will have the kingdom talking for days! But don’t worry! The Big Whammy is here to distract us from the woes of the royal family. After all, don’t we all just want to have a good time?! All this plus: we make fun of a guy named Lambert.

9 JUN 2021 · Oy! Abby and Danny got together one more time before summer vacation to relive the highs and lows of the first season of the Tudors. Oh, and they did so in the same place, how fun is that! We chatted about the royal family’s latest shenaningans, ranked all 37 of the major characters from season 1 of the Tudors, and then put our knowledge to the test with a final exam. But, like, a fun exam. This isn’t like school, it’s a fun podcast. Really. All this plus: the inherent romance of earwax!
