    Helen of [insert city name here] Part 3

    In Part 3 of Helen of [insert city name here], Helen is officially in Troy, and the situation is about to get a whole lot messier. We get into Helen’s arrival in Troy, her reactions to her new life, and how her story has been remembered and retold for the past few thousand years. From the woman behind the myth to the countless versions of her story, we are taking one last look at Helen; a woman who has been blamed for a war that involved gods, kings, princes...men...men who were perfectly capable of making their own bad decisions. Tune in for the final chapter of Helen’s story and the messy mythology that turned her into one of the most famous women in Greek myth. ------------- Linktree: https://linktr.ee/hotmesshistorypod RedBubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/HMHPod/shop?asc=u Buy Me A Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/hotmesshistorypod Follow us on social media: Instagram: @hotmesshistorypodTikTok: @hotmesshistorypodcastEmail us with future episode suggestions: hotmesshistorypod@gmail.comLinktree: https://linktr.ee/hotmesshistorypod Intro music by Fantasy Music Studio, remixed by Sarah "ANCIENT WALTZ" by Nikos Spiliotis, remixed by Sarah Fair Use Disclaimer: This podcast may contain excerpts of copyrighted material used for purposes such as commentary, criticism, education, and discussion.

    The Black Friday Scandal (Part 2)

    The Black Friday Scandal isn't over yet! In Part 2, we’re picking up where we left off as the scheme to corner the gold market begins to unravel and fall apart. The plan sends Wall Street into a tailspin, putting Ulysses S. Grant’s administration under intense scrutiny. As the fallout spreads, the question becomes just how much the people at the top knew and what would happen once the dust finally settled. And we finally address the important question: was Ulysses S. Grant an idiot, corrupt, or just incredibly naïve?

    Helen of [insert city name here] Part 2

    In Part 2 of Helen of [insert city name here], Helen and Menelaus are married, welcome a child, and settle into life in Sparta…until Paris enters the chat and sends everything spectacularly off the rails. We get into the Judgment of Paris, the goddess drama that set the whole mess in motion, and how a seemingly routine diplomatic visit from Paris quickly turns into the beginning of one of the biggest events in Greek myth. And, of course, we’re tackling the question that has been debated for thousands of years: Was Helen kidnapped by Paris, or did she willingly leave Sparta with him? Tune in as we unravel the drama behind Helen, Paris, and the events that became the catalyst for the Trojan War. ------------- Linktree: https://linktr.ee/hotmesshistorypod RedBubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/HMHPod/shop?asc=u Buy Me A Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/hotmesshistorypod Follow us on social media: Instagram: @hotmesshistorypodTikTok: @hotmesshistorypodcastEmail us with future episode suggestions: hotmesshistorypod@gmail.comLinktree: https://linktr.ee/hotmesshistorypod Intro music by Fantasy Music Studio, remixed by Sarah "ANCIENT WALTZ" by Nikos Spiliotis, remixed by Sarah Fair Use Disclaimer: This podcast may contain excerpts of copyrighted material used for purposes such as commentary, criticism, education, and discussion.

    Helen of [insert city name here] Part 1

    Helen’s story has been retold for thousands of years, and somehow, she keeps getting reduced to one thing: the beautiful woman who caused the Trojan War. But Helen’s story is far messier than that. In Part 1 of "Helen of [insert city name here]", we are going all the way back to the beginning...from her unusual birth and tumultuous childhood, to the endless line of suitors vying for her hand in marriage. Because long before she became infamously known as “Helen of Troy,” she was already at the center of some serious chaos. In this episode, we get to know Helen of Sparta, the woman before the myth, before the war, and before Troy. ------------- Linktree: https://linktr.ee/hotmesshistorypod RedBubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/HMHPod/shop?asc=u Buy Me A Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/hotmesshistorypod Follow us on social media: Instagram: @hotmesshistorypodTikTok: @hotmesshistorypodcastEmail us with future episode suggestions: hotmesshistorypod@gmail.comLinktree: https://linktr.ee/hotmesshistorypod Intro music by Fantasy Music Studio, remixed by Sarah "ANCIENT WALTZ" by Nikos Spiliotis, remixed by Sarah Fair Use Disclaimer: This podcast may contain excerpts of copyrighted material used for purposes such as commentary, criticism, education, and discussion.
