  • 9. Hatshepsut Part 1: The King Herself

    This episode is taking us back to our earliest story yet: 3000 years ago in Ancient Egypt with our girl Pharaoh Hatshepsut. In a world of patriarchy, incest marriages, and a plethora of Thutmoses, how does Hatshepsut find herself donning that fake beard to become the king herself? Kayden is joined by Komal to uncover all these ancient secrets (no aliens involved).

  • 8. Sacagawea: American Explorer

    Meaghan is back this week to join Kayden as we head home to America to learn all about one of our most famous ladies: Sacagawea. You might know her as the guide of the Lewis and Clark expedition (not really accurate), but did you know she was kidnapped, sold into marriage, saved the diaries of Lewis and Clark, had a death-related conspiracy theory, AND had the most adorable kid of all time who travelled around on her back WHILE she was a busy lady exploring America? We stan an American queen this episode as we get into the details of Sacagawea's fascinating life.

  • 7. Edward II and Isabella of France Part 2: She-Wolf Queen

    Kayden and CJ finish out the story of Edward and Isabella and their personal Game of Thrones. This story doesn't shy away on the violence, so prepare for gruesome deaths, big powerplays, and some medieval ass-kicking on Izzy's part. This is the story where everyone is the victim and everyone is the villain, immortalized in the Marlowe play "Edward II".

  • 6. Edward II and Isabella of France Part 1: Three in the Bed

    Kayden and CJ get into the first half of a story of medieval homosexuality, feminism, and sexual politics. Edward II and Isabella the She Wolf's early years included some crazy stories, including a gay coronation planner, French executions that were so terrible they make beheading look fun, and even an incident in front of a castle that leads to war. This is the story where everyone is the victim and everyone is the villain, immortalized in the Marlowe play "Edward II".
