Twisted History 101 Podcast

Part two of our Nikola Tesla journey, we pick up where we left off in his amazing life. Nikola Tesla is on the rise and Thomas Edison is not. But how does it all go so wrong for Tesla? What happens in his life that makes him practically written out of history until a new car company brings his name back into the public sphere and reminds all of us that without Tesla, we would have a much dimmer world. Waldina wraps up the story of Nikola Tesla and hopes you look at your phone, GPS, or Spotify list a little differently.

Episode # 8 is the second part of the saga that is the Queens of King Henry VIII. We pick up where we left off and Waldina continues taking us through wives 2 - 6. How did each wife meet her fate after wedding Henry, and what became of their lasting legacy? Can love nurtured in the most deceptive of ways really bring you happiness? Let’s explore that question by looking at this sordid piece of history.

Join Waldina, Wendy and Casey as we wrap up our opinions on Henry and his Queens. How do we all feel about this whole thing. Who are we sad for and who do we think was crazy as a Madhatter! How do we feel knowing the full story? 

In part one, we celebrate the QUEENS of King Henry VIII. Waldina  breaks down who Henry’s first wife, Catherine of Aragon, was and how did Anne Boleyn insinuate herself into Henry’s heart and English history, ultimately becoming his second wife and Queen of England. We start at the beginning and the fact that Henry was never meant to be king but a series of events leads European history down an amazingly sordid and scandalous path. 

Wendy, Waldina and Casey break down the craziness after episode #6 and the craziness of Henry VIII. This is rated E for explicit since its a no holds barred conversation based on opinion and a LOT of judgement. We’re pretty judgy but more than a little funny about it,too. Come join the after party and listen to what we have to say when the mic just runs! 

In part two of our Cobs and Robbers series we find out about America’s most famous (and infamous) sweethearts--Bonnie and Clyde. Where did they meet? How did they fall in love and what was their romance really like? Who were these two Depression era criminal lovebirds who still capture our imaginations to this day? Wendy takes us down this path in our American History to learn more about the original Ride-or-Die couple we still can’t get enough of today. 

In the first of our Cops and Robbers series, we explore the Indiana Bad Boy, John Dillinger! Why did he capture America’s hearts during the Depression era? Why was he cheered and even celebrated as an infamous bank robber?  How did his life of crime start and how did he single handedly change the narrative of the modern american criminal. Wendy takes the helm in telling the story of this famous and captivating Public Enemy.

In an exciting time full of marvel, Nikola Tesla was probably the most marvelous of them all. A man who thought before his time, he could envision the world that we live in today. This is the first of a two-part series where we introduce you to Tesla, the man, the innovator, the inventor that changed the world and at the same time, vexed Thomas Edison. A man who believed in a limitless world and almost beat Thomas Edison trying to prove it.
