The Eccentric Life and Mysterious Death of Ludwig II of Bavaria
Katy and Nathan are back with a Pride Month special, and it's all about Ludwig II of Bavaria - the 'Swan King'. This dude was all about the arts, built some seriously extra castles, and had a personal life that was... complicated (to say the least). We're diving deep into his life - his obsession with Wagner's operas, that engagement that didn't quite make it, and all the political drama. Plus, we're tackling the controversial mystery of his way-too-early goodbye. So, grab your crowns and join us as we celebrate the legacy of this fascinating king.
