This podcast and Dana are amazing, is a mesmerizing dive into the lives of history’s most powerful and tragic figures. Each episode masterfully unravels tales of royalty, betrayal, and intrigue, offering a fresh perspective on the flawed humanity behind the crowns. Noble Blood transforms historical anecdotes into gripping, timeless stories that linger long after listening. Perfect for history buffs and casual listeners, this podcast is a must-hear. They should turn this into a tv series. Bravo Dana and production amazing job 👏👏👏
