    The Overbury Poisoning

    The Overbury Poisoning

    It’s historical true crime time! The world’s obsession with true crime is nothing new, and this one really was the talk of the Stuart court. This 17th Century crime has everything, political scheming, a royal connection, a marriage scandal, jilted lovers and a poisoned tart. With a cast of characters including the King’s favourite, Robert Dudley’s stepson and the granddaughter of the last man to be executed by King Henry VIII.

    George Villiers - 1st Duke of Buckingham

    George Villiers - 1st Duke of Buckingham

    There's nothing typical about the King's favourite, George Villiers, the 1st Duke of Buckingham. A man so charming that a dukedom was created just for him, and so hated that the country celebrated his demise. The man made such an impression that he made it to the pages of Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers!

    The Black Widows of Liverpool

    The Black Widows of Liverpool

    Catherine Flanagan and Margaret Higgins, the Merseyside murderesses emigrated to Liverpool in order to escape and survive the famine, An Gorta Mór, but the Irish sisters would do more than just survive in the busting port city, they would thrive...at the expense of others. The devious actions of these deadly women would earn them the moniker of the Black Widows of Liverpool.

    The Magdalene Laundries

    In this special IWD24 episode Katie does a deep dive into the Magdalene Laundries, operating under the guise of reforming "fallen" and "wayward" women and girls, only to exploit and abuse those that were working and residing in them.

Jensine Beach ,

Best History Podcast!!

I don’t know why you warn people that you curse like a sailor. It’s more like colorful poetry especially with your accent. I love listening to you as I’m cooking, cleaning, driving and falling asleep. Thank you for bringing up so many historical women who deserve to have their stories told and thank you for making people say their names correctly!! If you ever make a trip to Florida I would love to meet you.

Love history! ,

One of my favorite podcasts!

This podcast is wonderful! Always looking forward to the next release
