Why did kings and queens have spectators on their wedding night? Who had the very first boob job? And did our ancestors have their unmentionables pierced?
Join historian, Kate Lister, Betwixt the Sheets as she unashamedly roots around the topics which seem to have been skipped in history class.
Everything from landmark LGBTQ+ court cases, to political scandal, to downright bizarre medieval cures for impotence. The etymology of swear words, gender bias in medicine, and satanic panic and cults - there’s nothing off limits.
She'll be bed-hopping around different time periods; from ancient civilisations, to the middle ages, to renaissance and early modern...right up to now.
You’ll laugh, you’ll wince, and you’ll ask yourself how much has actually changed.

    History of Geishas

    History of Geishas

    What does it mean to be a geisha? How does someone become one? And how do they differ from sex workers?

    The geisha world is famously very secretive and private, and taking us into it today is Lesley Downer, who spent years befriending geishas in research for her book Geisha: The Secret History of a Vanishing World.

    This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer is Charlotte Long.

    Drunk Victorians: Moral Panic & Meat Wine

    Drunk Victorians: Moral Panic & Meat Wine

    Glass of meat wine, anyone? That's right, the Victorians loved a glass of meaty wine.
    They loved drinking so much that it became a moral panic, with whole movements of temperance cropping up around Britain.
    What was drinking culture really like in the Victorian and Edwardian Britain? Were women able to drink as much as men? And what exactly went into that meat wine?
    Helping Kate get to the bottom of this is Thora Hands, author of Drinking in Victorian and Edwardian Britain: Beyond the Spectre of the Drunkard.

    Elvis Presley's Sex Life

    Elvis Presley's Sex Life

    Elvis Presley embraced sexuality from the start. Rock n roll was not tame music, and neither were his early performances.
    So much so that he was nicknamed Elvis 'the pelvis' after early TV performances.
    But were his personal relationships and relationship with sexuality like? How did his relationship with his mother influence him? And how was his relationship with a 14 year old Priscilla seen at the time?
    Joining Kate today is Alanna Nash, author of Baby Let's Play House: Elvis Presley And The Women Who Loved Him, to help us find out more.

    Ancient Greek Sexual Health: Wandering Wombs & Headless Beetles

    Ancient Greek Sexual Health: Wandering Wombs & Headless Beetles

    If there’s one thing you’ll find out from this episode, it’s that the Ancient Greeks were better at philosophy than gynaecology.
    Struggling to conceive? You might be given a stuffed dead puppy to provoke fertility.
    Helping Kate make sense of Ancient Greek gynaecology today is Helen King, author of Hippocrates' Woman: Reading the Female Body in Ancient Greece.
    What questions will a visit to an Ancient Greek doctor be like? How would you stop your womb from wandering? And how would your body temperature help define your gender?

    Sex in the Aztec Empire

    Sex in the Aztec Empire

    The Aztec Empire might conjure up images of human sacrifice.
    And whilst religious violence was part of their society, theirs was also a very egalitarian society where pleasure was valued and sexuality was an unashamed part of every day life.
    How was queerness perceived and represented in this period? What sexual freedoms did they enjoy? And what part did the Goddess of Filth play in their lives?!
    Joining Kate today is Caroline Pennock, author of Bonds of Blood: Gender, Lifecycle and Sacrifice in Aztec Culture. Her new book, On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe, is out now.

    Fetishwear: A Kinky History

    Fetishwear: A Kinky History

    What is the origin of the word fetish? How did the war play a part in shaping fetishwear? And what are some of the styles that are most enjoyed?
    Kink and fetish scenes have been a part of society for years, and the clothing that participants wear is often very specific, and a key part of what makes them, well, effective. 
    It’s a fascinating history, and to explain it to us is Frenchy Lunning, author of Fetish Style. Kate also speaks to professional dominatrix Mistress Jean Bardot.

great pod, great host

This is a great podcast for all you history pervs (or history perv-curious). It comes out every week. The conversations are always great. The host, Kate Lister—whom I believe I read somewhere has a PhD—had all the bona fides and her guests know their stuff. Her vibe is very informal and ready to laugh. I mean, isn’t that the most important criteria listening to a podcast like this?
