Scrofula, much like tuberculosis, has been a very common disease throughout much of human history. From the 1000s-1700s one of the many cures for it was to see the King or Queen to receive their Royal blessings upon you. They would touch you, say prayers for you, give you a memento and say you're cured. Or were you? Join us for some medical quackery as we discuss this disease, some of the old ways to cure it, and the staggering numbers of people with it who spent hours in line just to see their Monarch.

What do you do when the Pope issues a bull prohibiting you from joining a social club? Create another one of course! But this time you change up the format a bit. Today we are talking about the Order of the Pug; a progressive society club that cropped up around Europe in the mid-1700s. We'll talk about how it relates to the Free-Masons; what the initiation ritual was like; how progressive it was in the 1700s; and it's supposed downfall over time. Come with us as this episode 'goes to the dogs'!  Special Guest today: Kacie.

Today we are discussing the reign of King John, life in Medieval England, the events leading up to and the implementation of the Magna Carta- one of the most important legal documents in history. It was originally signed in 1215, but has a legacy that is still with us to this day. In fact, many of the democracies around the world are founded with core articles from it. I am also joined today by guest Kacie.

How did this all start? Why was he so popular? Join us this week as discuss the life of Franz Liszt and his charisma at the piano.
