Alright, it took us 3 tries to get this epoisode recorded. A few major news stories broke out during that time, and everything feels like it's on fire. So, what better time to talk about the Virgin Queen? We're starting with Elizabeth's early years; her mother's beheading, being disinherited at age 3, trying to earn her place in court, and what happens when King dad dies, and you're no where near the throne.....

When you were a kid, did you every try to evoke the legend of Bloody Mary? Standing in a dark bathroom, you say her name 3 times, turn around, and she'll be right in the mirror to cause a heart attack. Ring a bell? Well .... what if we told you that one of Bloody Mary's inspiration is our own Queen Mary the first of England! But, she didn't pop up in your bathroom ... we'll get into all that.

Season 2 Premiere!!!! We're back at the palace, ready to read subtle cues and listen to the men in mustaches. To begin this season, we're treated to a flashforward of a tense discussion between Philip and Liz, and the happier times that preceded it. Eden is facing some issues in the Middle East, and he's keeping secrets .... BIG ones! Step back into the scandolous, yet prim and proper world of rich people in world politics!

Alright everyone, it's time to don your corsets and take your weekly bath, we're heading back to Tudor England! When we last left Mary, her father had passed and a there was a new King in Town - her MUCH younger brother and godson, and faith-rival, Edward (the 6th). A boy king on the throne, what could go wrong? A boy king with a VERY different faith, who was scared of Mary - I repeat - WHAT COULD GO WRONG???

Get your boots, a toothbrush and your cloak, we're going to Tudor England! We're so excited to dive into the childhood of Queen Mary the First of England, a.k.a. "Bloody Mary". But was she always so "bloody"? From being an acomplished little princess, to childhood engagements, and then to finding out she isn't an only child anymore... being a princess was NOT all it's cracked up to be!

Welcome back, settle in, because we're continuing with Part 2 of Mata Hari! Last week, we ended on Mata Hari taking Paris by storm and the critics were raving about her. This week, we learn what happened in world politics, how two nations vied for her intel, and how her hips weren't technically truthful and what the consequences were for that.

oh HELOOOOOOOOO! We're back and we are so so happy :) Even better, we're kicking back off on a hot hot HOT note, with a trip to our favorite location of late, FRANCE! Have you ever heard of Mata Hari? Well, if you were in Paris in the early 1900s, then you DEFINITELY have heard of this cunning performer and businesswoman. She was a mysteriously attractive woman with dance moves that captured the city's hearts. But her beginnings aren't what you think... Image credits: image created using openart.ai Hosted on Acast.

Surprise! This is coming a week late so everyone has heard the news, but the US political world got a flippity doo dah last week. So Lauren and Hannah sit down for a few minutes and talk about an influential female figure in our present, Vice President and Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris.

Let's take it back. WAAAY back. Back to Ancient Alexandria (Egypt) where we meet Hypatia, only daughter and child of Theon. And they were the definition of a healthy Father-Daughter Philosophical Mathematics duo! Why is she important? Ohhhh, just by being a beauty! A SMART beauty, who rose the ranks of Academia and began to lead lectures on her own. Men (and some women, we imagine) would come from all over the Mediterrannean to learn from her. She was BIG NEWS! But not everyone loved her like we do... Image credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hypatia_by_Julius_Kronberg,_1889,_detail.jpg Hosted on Acast.

Sooooooooo..... Don't buy Soap from Leonarda. I don't care what she offers you.. It's not morally good soap, and honestly how much can human soap really clean? TRIGGER WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE EPISODE: This episode contains themes of violence, cannibalism, and other horrifying acts. IF this is not your thing, we totally understand, and we invite you to come back next week for another tale with less of these themes.

Sooo, you know how we LOVE a good feminine rage story - this isn't it. This is more of the drug-less "Breaking Bad" vibes. We're talking about Leonarda Cianciulli - The Soapmaker of Correggio (Italy). She's not a simple DIY pro - we're dealing with a full blown serial killer! This week we're dealing with crafts and kills, mother/son relationships, and the last soap store we'd ever shop at.

OOOOOOOOHHHHH! This is a good one! All our revenge girlies, rise up! Jeanne de Clisson is leading the charge to avenge her husband, her lands, her monies, and traumatizing her sons in the process. But it's fine, it's FIIIIINE. Everything is FINE! Hannah is just getting all excited by the "Danaerys Targaryen"/Olga of Kiev vibes in this episode.

Hey, so do any of you remember the 100 Years War? The one in France? That occurred over 3 DISTINCT PERIODS? We do! And we're back, except this time we meet up with a different Jeanne (familiar?) who is at the beginning of the war this time! Jeanne de Clisson (another Jeanne!) doesn't hear angels calling to her but she does wind up a wealthy widow! In Part 1 we chart Jeanne's rise to the rich widow status and how she got there. And we learn how she got caught up in the beginning of an epic-ly long death match between England and France!

We're back for Part 2 of Miriam Makeb's story! Exiled from her country for ... literally just singing and being an icon/beacon for hope. Separated from her daughter, too. Rude. Let's learn how Miriam maintained hope and spread the word about it through song. image credits: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=Makeba+&title=Special:MediaSearch&type=image Hosted on Acast.
