A History of Royal Pets Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

Man’s best friend and King’s most loyal subject. Dogs, cats and other pets have long been beloved companions of royalty and nobility. And many of the breeds we know today came in to existence by royal command. From a terrier who was faithful unto her Queen’s bloody end to the pug who ruined Napoleons wedding night. From the cats that ruled the palace of Versailles to Elizabeth’s beloved corgis, Let’s take a look at the pampered lives of royal pets through the centuries.

A History of Horror - Witches, Ghosts, Werewolves & Horror Comedy Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Happy almost Halloween, Everyone! For those of you who have been following my channel since the early days, you might recall that I started off doing much spookier content. I love Halloween and horror, though I tend to veer more spooking and supernatural than gory. Back in 2018 I did a series exploring the evolution of 8 different horror tropes, from their ancient origins, to their modern pop culture afterlives. Last week I dug up up this the history of Vampires, The Devil, Zombies and Killers. Today I'll conjure up Witches, Ghosts, Werewolves and Horror Comedy.

Ghastly Tales of Tudor Ghosts Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

The Tudors ruled over England from the unlikely battlefield victory of King Henry VII in 1485; through the 6 wives of heinous Henry VIII and his three children’s desperate fights over the throne; to the agonizing death of the magnificent Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. The family’s tragic interpersonal drama, and penchant for beheading anyone who got in their way have inspired a number of chilling ghost stories. So lock the door, turn down the lights, light a candle and pour yourself a bloody Mary. Together, lets step briefly off the relatively firm ground of historic record and into the misty realms of legend, hearsay and the supernatural as we recount the Ghastly Ghost Stories of the Terrible Tudors...

Is the Royal Family of Monaco Cursed in Love? Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

The Grimaldi family has ruled over the tiny but beautiful and wealthy nation of Monaco since 1297. And for just as long they have been shockingly unlucky in love. Since the dynasty was supposedly cursed by a witch in the 14th century they have endured far more than their fair share of terrible mismatches, mistresses, an affair with King Louis XIV, abandonment, divorce, estrangement and tragic death. From Rainier I to Grace Kelly, Princess Caroline, Princess Stéphanie, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene, we explore the unfortunate love lives of the Monegasque royal family.

Bonus! 'Even the Royals' from Wondery+ – Marie Antoinette Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

Admit it: you’re obsessed with royal families – watching them, gossiping about them, wanting to be them. It’s the stuff of fantasy. But for real life royals, the crown jewels can be more like shiny handcuffs. There are expectations and rules – and if you break them, the consequences are big, and very public. And no, we’re not just talking about Harry and Meghan. There are royal families and wild royal tales from around the world and throughout history that you have never heard before.

From Wondery comes the latest from Even the Rich co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams, Even the Royals. They’ll take you inside the cloistered world of royal families, past and present, where wealth and status often come at the expense of your freedom – and maybe even your life.

This is just a preview of Even the Royals. You can listen to the full episode exclusively on Wondery+. https://wondery.app.link/e/ETR_HTT

A History of Royal Funerals Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

1,000 of burying the Kings, Queen and other English royals. From Medieval monarchs who were rushed to their graves, and occasionally exploded, to The Tudors and Stuarts whose people lined up to see life-like wax effigies of their recently deceased monarchs. And I'll unpack the funeral traditions which were seen at Queen Elizabeth II’s grand finale, one year ago.
