Turns out, not the way you'd think. For most of the dynasty, England's version of the Trojan War came from a completely different, largely invented medieval tradition, one that literally cut the gods out of the story. The real, translated Homer didn't arrive in English until the dynasty was basically… [Listen](https://traffic.megaphone.fm/PODERATIONLTD6819645568.mp3) ## Adam Shatz: Visions of America _2026-08-19 · The LRB Podcast_ ‘The very word “America” remains a new, almost completely undefined and extremely controversial proper noun,’ James Baldwin wrote in 1959. ‘No one in the world seems to know exactly what it describes, not even we motley millions who call ourselves Americans.’ Donald Trump’s vision of Fortress America, at war with immigrants, shadowy globalists and itself, is a violent attempt to resolve what… [Listen](https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.megaphone.fm/LRB6086729601.mp3) ## [A bit soaky with a robust trunk](https://audioboom.com/posts/8942708) _2026-08-18 · Like Minded Friends with Tom Allen & Suzi Ruffell · Like Minded Friends with Tom Allen & Suzi Ruffell_ Comedians and dearest pals Tom Allen and Suzi Ruffell chat friendship, love, life and culture...sometimes...⁠ Get Tom's novel - Common Decency - https://www.google.com/search?q=tom+allen+common+decency Out with Suzi Ruffell podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/attitude-presents-out-with-suzi-ruffell/id1505466130 Suzi’s Substack - https://suziruffell.substack.com/ Suzi’s website (with… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8942708.mp3?modified=1787088762&sid=5161655&source=rss) ## Two London Historians Show Me the Tudor City Everyone Walks Right Past _2026-08-18 · Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors_ I got on a Zoom call with two Blue Badge guides from Context Travel, and by the end of it I had a list of about a dozen places in London I've never been and now desperately need to see.

Byron does all of these in Don Juan, his 16,000-line unfinished mock epic that presents itself as a grand satire on human vanity in the tradition of Cervantes, Swift and the Stoics, and refuses to take anything seriously for longer than a… [Listen](https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.megaphone.fm/LRB8406537314.mp3) ## I Stayed in a 600-Year-Old Inn Full of Secret Smuggling Tunnels _2026-08-13 · Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors_ So I recently went to England to sleep in historic places. This is the first episode of a mini series I'm calling Heather Stays in Olde Inns, because England is full of medieval places to stay, and I wanted to stay in them. First stop: The Mermaid Inn in Rye. The cellars here date back to 1156.

Back in 2016 I had James Bolton from the Queens of England Podcast on to talk about Bessie Blount, and it completely changed how I think about Henry VIII's love life.
