I'm TK, your guide to the past as we uncover the people, events, and little-known-facts hidden in the shadows of your old history textbooks. From empress baddies to activist profiles, turkey gods and the history of the toothbrush, tattoos, Pompeii peepees, and everything in between, you can find it all here. There is no telling how far we'll dig or how many "historical facts" we'll reexamine. No event too small and no topic too big, because this is For The Love of History.

Archive Ep | Egyptian Tattoo History
Taking another trip in the way back when machine to bring you another archived episode! This time we're taking a look at one of my absolute favorite episodes, Egyptian Tattoo History. Not only were my flabbers absolutely gassted when researching and recording this episode but I can honestly say this is one of the most fun recording sessions I've ever had! We get upset at some archeologists, but we get happy again because other archeologists are amazing, and we learn a LOT!
I hope you enjoyed this look into the weird, wonderful, mysterious, and a little bit rage-inducing history of Egyptian tattoos!

Archive Ep | Victorian Nipple Rings
We're on season break right now, so we're bringing an archived episode out of the vault! We're going way back to 2021 when our obsession with the deeply weird Victorian started. Today will re-examine the kinky, deviant, and empowering history of Victorian bosom bobbles. 😂 if you're around mixed company, I highly recommend headphones or not if you want a really elaborate icebreaker!
Enjoy the episode!! 💛💙

Druids: Fact and Fantacy
If you're a fantasy lover like me, the mere mention of druids might conjure up images of wise, bearded wizards, powerful witches, and nature-bound warriors straight out of "Lord of the Rings" or "Game of Thrones." But who were the real druids, and how much of what we "know" is merely Roman propaganda or modern fantasy? Buckle up my delicious little doughnut, as we embark on a journey to unravel the truth behind these mysterious figures of ancient Europe.

Empress Baddie: the World’s First Author Enheduanna
Step right up, history BFFs! Today, we're diving headfirst into the ancient Mesopotamian saga of Enheduanna, a woman who defied the odds, battled patriarchal nonsense, and penned the very first poem in recorded history. But hold onto your clay tablets, because this story's got more twists and turns than a Sumerian soap opera!
Picture it: ancient Mesopotamia, where clay tablets were all the rage, and 'emojis' meant chiseling tiny pictures into your communication medium of choice. Enter Enheduanna, daughter of the big boss man, Sargon of Akkad Emperor of the first Empire. While others were busy tallying sheep and wheat stocks, Enheduanna had bigger plans – like, let's revolutionize literature, shall we?
But before I spoil the whole thing press play why don't ya?

Customer Reviews
Great Show, Always Learn Something
I first found TK from her reels on Facebook. When I learned about her podcast, I immediately subscribed. Every single episode has been both informative and entertaining (though some bring out the spicy version of me just like the topics can bring out spicy TK as well). Definitely looking forward to more seasons and wanted to tell you TK that you’re amazing and I wish we we neighbors because you seem like someone who I’d get along with really well in real life! Stay hydrated, get some rest as you prepare for the next season, and keep doing what you’re doing!
History with personality
I love that I leave each episode feeling like I’m friends with Tk. Not only does she give us well researched information, she also gives it to us in a way that makes me interested in learning about it!
For the love of History!
This is digestible, enjoyable historical nuggets. Presented in a sunshiny way. I 1st came across TK on her infotainment skits, found my way to the podcast and now I’m burning through them.
The thought and research that goes into each episode is not lost on me, can’t wait til next season.
KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK TK! 💚
