It's our first episode! Kat and I picked a topic very close to our hearts to share with you for this week; Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard. These two queens are our spirit queens and we hope you enjoy learning more about their stories and perhaps come out of the episode with a different point of view than you went in. This one is a bit long as we learn our format but we promise it is worth the long haul! Visit our Instagram (litstorypodcasts) for photos of our primary sources discussed in the episode.

Resources that we used are as follows:
