Episode 122 - England - Black Tudors


Listen Later

Coucou everyone!

In this episode we dive into the previously unknown histories of Black people living in Tudor England. Members of court, musicians, sex workers, adventurers, seamstresses, and even a deep-sea diver - their stories play a deeply important part of English history! Then we chat about a London icon - the black cab. Apologies in advance for going off the rails this episode - we are just so happy to be back!
