Ep. 82 - Elizabeth The First: The Early & Traumatic Years

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 05:40:00 GMT

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.

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 04:35:00 GMT

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!

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...

Ep. 75 - Hypatia and the Philosophers Robes

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 04:00:00 GMT

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...

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 04:00:00 GMT

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.

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Welcome to part 1 of the Life and Times of Jeanne D'Arc, or as we in the States know her, Joan of Arc! This is one of the legendary ones, and for good reasons. In this episode we tackle a looong and inappropriately named war (in 3 distinct segments), bodies bodies everywhere, and one simple girl hearing voices in the fields. Joan was a 15 or 16 year old girl who had visions of her destiny, delivered by angels from God, and she was to fight for and restore the rightful King of France. But first, she has to get there, needs people to believe that she isn't insane, and needs an army. What's a girl to do?

Sorry we're late this week, but Happy Saturday! We're trying something new this year, and we're so excited to share it with you (finally)! Lauren and Hannah both love Netflix's The Crown (centering on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II), looking back on how this woman took on the insurmountable role of British Monarch in her mid 20's, how she effected a nation (and the world) for decades!

Folks, let me tell you, making this first episode has been interesting, to say the least. We hit a number of technical issues, and you will hear us get a bit loopy and slappy on this episode because of it.

We're talking about The Red Lanterns, an elite group of women trained to fight AND were rumored heavily to have SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES! Keep in mind, the girls in The Red Lanterns were only between the ages of 11 to 17 years old!!!! Can you remember what you were doing at 11 years old?

Lauren has the tea this week on a woman who went from a tragically kidnapped/enslaved child to the Chief Consort and Legal Wife of the Ottoman Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent!

Ep. 57 - Hatchetation Nation - Carrie A. Nation

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 05:00:00 GMT

It's a fun one this week! Lauren regails us with the determination of one woman to "save America" from the drink. That's right! This week, we are covering Carrie A. Nation, a woman known for her dedication to Prohibition and her unusually violent methods in doing so.

While today we may not agree with her methods or with Prohibition at all, we can understand her reasoning behind it. Alcohol can effect more than just the person drinking and many women at this time had suffered the consequences of their husband's drinking. To many, Prohibition was the answer. I guess we'll see how it all shakes out!
