TheRomance FilesPodcast

Welcome to The Romance Files, a podcast where hopeless romantics rummage through the bins of gossip of history’s most iconic couples to find out what made them sizzle. Lust, passion, red flags and sexy underwear - don’t you just love it? Join Alfie, a hopeless romantic, and her bosom buddies as they take a stroll along the beaches of time and gossip about history’s most iconic couples. Each episode dives into tales of lust, passion, and the unrequited, from medieval knights to modern pop royalty as they ask: What is this crazy little thing called love? And why are we so obsessed with it? With wit and charm, they explore the tempestuous, the lustful, and the "forever yours" romances, sprinkling in their own hilarious anecdotes about dating, love, and everything in between.

    The Romance Files: Antony and Cleopatra, Ep.2 (part 2 of 2)

    Antony and Cleopatra Love or land grab? Ep.2 (part 2 of 2) Antony and Cleopatra’s passionate affair, culminating in their infamous deaths, echoes through the halls of romance fame. Shakespeare wrote a long play about it, Elizabeth Taylor starred in an even longer movie, and poets have written some long-arsed poems.  But did they die for each other, or were they pushed to the brink by forces bigger than love? Were they star-crossed lovers, or was it a land grab from the very beginning? And most importantly, did Anthony look sexy in sandals?  For this week's pod, host, and hopeless romantic, Alfrun Rose is joined by her gorgeous little sister and bff 4eva, Embla. Note: This is a podcast for adults about romance, and everything that involves so if that makes you blush, you know what to do.
