    Evita Perón: The Legacy and Legends of Argentina's Controversial First Lady
    Welcome everyone to the season 7 finale. Today we're wrapping up the fascinating life and legacy of Eva Perón, the one and only Evita.
    Join us as we chat about her politically wild life, her passion for social reforms, and yes, her controversial ties to fascism. We'll also cover the bizarre and unsettling journey of Evita's embalmed body—because her story is nothing short of chaotic and cult-like.

    Evita: Eva Perón part 1

    Evita: Eva Perón part 1

    Welcome to our last queen of season 7, Evita aka Eva Perón.
    Eva Peron is probably one of the most famous names to come out of Argentina. We know she's controversial! But, before she was Evita, she was an insecure little girl from a small town. Life was not easy, but our girl made the best out of life. In this episode we'll talk her humble beginnings and see her move to the big city of Buenos Aires to make her dreams come true.

    Rerun: Katherine Swynford for Mistress week

    Rerun: Katherine Swynford for Mistress week

    It's mistress week and today we are talking rags to riches (kind of) in this Cinderalla story (that also includes like... so much adultery). The Katherine Swynford story. Katherine Swynford is often considered the mother of the Tudor dynasty and the ancestress of another Queens Podcast alumni, Margaret Beaufort. We think you're going to love episode regardless of if you're listening to it for the first or fifth time!
    Nathan pairs this episode with a spicy margarity while Katy pairs it with a virgin-cocktail as she wraps up dry January.

    Rerun: Diane de Poitiers, Mistress week!

    Rerun: Diane de Poitiers, Mistress week!

    We are doing a mini-mistresses week and first up is the first Royal Mistress we ever covered.
    Now, Diane wasn't just any royal mistress, she was the royal mistress. From her iconic fountain of youth (was it really just the water, Diane?), to her savvy political maneuvers that would make Machiavelli take notes, we're uncovering the life of the woman who became the envy and idol of France..
    So grab your crown, pour yourself a glass of your finest wine, and join us as we explore the life of Diane de Poitiers, the woman who showed us that sometimes, the most powerful place in the land is right at the heart of the king.

    Princess Nest: The Welsh Helen of Troy

    Princess Nest: The Welsh Helen of Troy

    Princess Nest aka Nest ferch Rhys came from a very long line of Welsh warriors and kings. However, in her lifetime things took a big shift.
    There is more that we DON'T know about her life, but what we know for certain is that she is one of the only women from medieval Wales to be more than a passing footnote in history. In fact, it's said that her beauty caused a civil war.
    Okay, no. Men started the civil war, but whatever. That's not as poetic. But does she deserve the title of the Welsh Helen of Troy? You let us know what you think.
