161. Napoleon

‘ow do you say “le bummer?”

Happy holidays y’all! We’re celebrating with a special episode on the original short* king**, Napoleon Bonaparte! The wonderful Josiah Branaman (of Pulp!) joins us as we talk about Josephine Bonaparte’s husband. Note that this episode ends abruptly for reasons we address up front. Enjoy y’all!

*Not actually short

**Not actually a king

160. Gilles de Rais

I wish I could tell you this guy’s haircut was the worst thing about him.

We’re back with another episode of our annual Halloween Spooktacular! The wonderful Katie Bowman returns as we talk about to notorious Gilles de Rais. Zach really takes a hit on the research here, Katie talks through her reading recommendations, and Brian imagines his ideal world.

141. Jeanne de la Motte

Jeanne, necklace-less.

We’re back from our sickness-enforced break, and we’ve got a spicy tale for you! We’re talking about Jeanne de Valois Saint Remy, Comtesse de la Motte and the affair of the diamond necklace with the help of the brilliant Shannon Campe (Little Women: A Modern Audio Drama). Zach plays coy with a certain disease, Shannon provides a crucial translation, and Brian recalls a cinema classic.

NOTE: Because we had a tight turnaround, I couldn’t trim some verbal tics and pauses that I usually would, sorry about the increased amount of “umms.”

Trick or Treat, boils and ghouls! Welcome to this year’s Halloween Spooktacular! The hellarious Mitch Jones (Ditch Bones?) joins us to talk about the Beast of Gevaudan! Zach calls out cows for being grass traitors, Mitch talks about the best way to shoot a werewolf, and Brian gets Gritty with it!
