Bandits and plague and intrigues abound at the Villa Santa in a new adaptation of Boccaccio's Decameron. Join us for part 1 of our exploration of how wild medieval literature can really get.
Katherine Parr was the wife that survived, yet her story is often overshadowed by the dramatic cast of Tudor characters. Join us as we talk about the new biopic movie Firebrand, in which Katherine's story gets the close up she has always deserved.
While Olympic surfing has ended, Nell is still obsessed. She read that people don't watch Olympic surfing because they don't understand it. We're breaking down the highlights of surfing and why you should be as obsessed as we are.
What makes up the details behind a myth? Sometimes the little guys have the best stories.
What is genre in music? Is it still a thing? Or are we just alt-folk-rock and hiphop-country? Today, we're talking about genre, the Death of Slim Shady, Jelly Roll, and even Waffle House. Nell listened to Eminem's new album, but is she making it too deep?
Wicked stepmoms and women betraying anyone to give their own kids a chance at power. Is that the ancient lore of a long gone era or are we still doing that to each other today?
When the age seems dark, how do you deal? Join us as we introduce two medieval poets who built wildly different windows into their own times.
Nancy Drew, Fear Street, Hardy Boys, Goosebumps, Sweet Valley High. What do they have in common? They're all a book series, they're all aimed at kids, teens, tweens, and young adults, and they all have ghost writers.
Fancy walks, a dedicated time to write letters, being well traveled (if you’re a man), and all those society rules. Exhausting. Nell asked Rose to watch the first episode of Bridgerton so they could talk about the rules in the Regency Era.
What is a royal warrant and why does it matter? Join us as we talk about what it means to have a product endorsed by the crown.
