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. So join Kate Betwixt the Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal & Society - a podcast from History Hit.

I absolutely love this podcast and how much detail each episode goes into each specific topic. My only complaint is that my book costs have gotten out of hand. Between Kates books and the great guests it makes me want all the books that are mentioned.

Look, this isn’t a kids podcast but some stupid nicotine pouch clearly marketed at young people. I can’t imagine you would approve it I asked you.

I love this podcast and love Kate even more. She tackles the issues we all wonder about and are afraid to ask. She’s even better on TV. Brava!
