Happy Hour History

Finishing out our mother daughter series on Maria Theresa and Marie Antoinette, Kayden and her mum are back to hear about the newly crowned Queen of France, who has marital problems, palace problems, and national problems, but at least they'll let her run away to her pretend peasant life, right?

It's not going to end very well for Marie, but we tried to make it funny for you anyway.

Marie Antoinette has finally arrived! Undereducated, underappreciated in her family, and luckily planning to live a decently unassuming life as the 15th child... or so she thought. Maria Antonia will have to get a Princess Diaries style makeover in order to make her ready for the pitfalls and perils of the French court, and even that won't be enough. Join Kayden and her mom for the third installment of the Mother / Daughter series on Maria Theresa and Marie Antoinette.

Interrupting the Marias this week to bring you a seasonal episode all about jolly Santa. Who actually was St Nick, what is he most well known for, and why did he morph into the North Pole-dwelling, toy-building, world-traveling man in red that we know now? Kayden and crew are getting cosy by the (fake) fire with some spiked hot chocolate to delve into how this all came to be.

Maria Heather and Maria Kayden are back for another episode on Maria Theresa, Holy Roman Empress extraordinaire and below average mother. When you have 16 kids, things are bound to get a little messy, and Maria T certainly didn't shy away from getting herself into said mess. We'll wrap up the rest of her reign this episode and introduce her star-studded daughter: Marie Antoinette.

We're getting sentimental this week with the first episode of a mother-daughter series as Kayden teaches her own mum about Queen, Archduchess, Empress, and all-around badass Maria Theresa. This lady knows what she wants and isn't afraid to (at least try to) take it — sometimes even while she's pregnant. This is series will include a second episode on Maria T and two episodes on her slightly (spoiler alert) more famous daughter Marie Antoinette.

Happy Halloween! Kayden is here with her annoying little brother Kai to bring you the not-so-short "Spooky Short" about Henry Reed Rathbone and the ghost of Abe Lincoln. This is the murder story that followed the assassination of one of America's most famous presidents. You can also find more Spooky Shorts on my patreon page!

This week Kayden has joined forces with Thomas from the History of Aotearoa New Zealand Podcast to learn all about 'Bobby Big Nuts' (also known as Robert Semple). Semple is well known for an interesting WWII invention -- but what about his early life? How did an Aussie get to be in a prominent governmental position in New Zealand during the Second World War? Thomas teaches Kayden the story over a few (too many) drinks.

Happy Hour History with a Twist .... This week, Kayden has done no research at all, but only because she's joined by Cameron Zinsou, a PhD candidate who has come to teach us all about Operation Anvil / Dragoon just in time for the 75th anniversary. This episode has gone live on the anniversary of the operation, which took place on 15th August 1944.

Kayden and Komal are back for the second half of Hatshepsut's (sort of) drama-free life. Our girl was living that 1% life with her myrrh trees and jewels from the maybe mythical land of Punt, leading her country into battle (contested), and even having a not-relationship with her advisor. What's not to love? Oh, until she was wiped from the historical record and forgotten for about 3000 years.... but we'll get to that!
