Even The Royals

Anglophile and former expat in two countries chiming in here. Love love love the lively hostesses banter and storytelling of these often-zany historical figures. Their current-generation opinions and narratives are gleaned from reputable sources. There’s shock, awe, and so much drama and I eat my popcorn all the way through each episode! Just enough length of each podcast. I personally love the older royal accounts, taking us back in time. Would love the antiquities as a suggestion!

I’m so glad to have discovered this podcast! Whether it’s new facts about a famous person (like Napoleon) or deep dives into the lives of lesser-known Royals, each episode is well-researched and thoroughly engrossing. The hosts are fun and informative. And best of all, I feel smarter after each listen!

I started listening recently because I was interested in the six wives of Henry the eighth and then I listened to the other episodes and I’m in love with this podcast they make the content so much more interesting than if I were to learn it in a book or classroom.🩷 I’ve read some of the other reviews and a good handful of people are saying that they just bash men but if you look at history from a female royals point of view you’ll see that they were simply getting royally screwed. History is written by the winners so it’s hard to get both sides of the story. I ask this do you really think Marie Antoinette had any say over what her husband did he was the king, he was in charge, he was responsible and because he chose to do little to nothing about what was happening both of them were beheaded none of that was her fault and this is just one example so therefore they aren’t just going against men they are against the hierarchy that men were a part of that were treating these women poorly and unfairly.

I’m a man and I love history from a female POV… The men who complain that this podcast is just saying men are bad, well when you actually think & analyze history objectively and not just from a male POV, you start to see how awful men were(and some still are and then write reviews crying that women are bashing them 😂) As for the content, I quite enjoy how the hosts present the material. It’s done in an interesting and engaging style that makes learning history fun. I especially loved the two-part Queen Christina podcast. I first became interested in her story after watching “The Girl King”. I then read a book about her life that I found fascinating. She was definitely a character. Great Podcast 👍🏽👍🏽
