- She knows of what she speaks!
As a living history professional, I can tell you, there is a lot of misinformation out there, in books, newspapers, magazines, and mostly in the world wide cyber space (and at bricks and mortar places too!). I have been so pleased at the accuracy of Her Half of History’s research. (Love the sources lists!). And her presentation style is perfect. A great mix of surprise, awe and frustration…along with a great sense of humor! Great job!

Apple Podcasts5CheannspaUnited Statesa year ago - Taking Mrs. Claus out of Obscurity
Engaging history about the woman behind the man - Mrs. Claus. Episode starts with the history on Mr. Claus himself then blends into the mention of his dutiful wife in stories and poems in the 1800’s. Then some more modern and well-deserved representations of “the Missus” in recent times. Lots of fun to listen to - so grab a glass of eggnog and enjoy!!
