This week's episode explores a woman whose self-preservation was much more pragmatic than it was optimistic: Diane de Poitiers, royal mistress to King Henry II of France (among many other things.)

Diane de Poitiers: Liquid Gold

Join us, intrepid listeners, as we journey through the compelling, odd, and sometimes horrific lengths people will go to in hopes of  achieving eternal life. We’ll hear what--and who--the subjects of our stories were willing to sacrifice to possibly gain a few more years of youth and beauty and life. And we’ll all ask the question: how far would you take the hunt if you were chasing immortality?
