  • Storical Footnotes: Mozart vs Salieri
    The movie Amadeus solidified the belief that not only was Mozart murdered, but he was murdered at Salieri’s hand. That didn’t actually happen and the real story is a lot more complicated. Listen to the episode to learn more about Mozart’s “rival,” Antonio Salieri.
    Storical will be a little less frequent for the next few months as I’m undergoing some health treatments. Subscribe in whatever app you use to get all the latest episodes or follow @StoricalPodcast on Instagram.

  • Storical Footnotes: Joan of Arc from Heretic to Saint
    Bishops from the Catholic church were in charge of Joan of Arc’s trial and ended up condemning her to die. So if it was the church that burned her, why the change of heart and change of status to a saint? Today we’re looking at what happened during the 500 years after her death that led to her becoming the patron saint of France.

  • Storical Footnotes: The King Who Was Made of Glass
    Charles VI believed he was made entirely of glass and that any small movement would cause him to shatter. Listen in for an exploration of the glass delusion (afflicted lots of nobles!) and how this French king’s fear that his body was glass set Joan of Arc’s mission in motion.

  • Joan of Arc: Soldier and Saint
    Joan of Arc is the patron saint of France, and unlike many of the saints…she actually existed! Listen to the episode to learn how an illiterate peasant girl was able to drive out the English and put the French back on the path to reclaim their country during the Hundred Years War. Did she really speak to angels? Was she a bloodthirsty soldier? We know more about her than most Medieval women but there are no easy answers in her story.
