    I love this podcast and listen regularly! Entertaining, well done, and super fun to listen to. Only thing that is challenging is keeping up with the nicknames. It’s very hard to google “who is Jimmy One Six”? 😂😭 if there was a key in the description for who they were that would be helpful!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

171. Caroline of Brunswick | Rebel of the Regency with Vulgar History's Ann Foster
Q: What does Caroline's fashion say about her during the Regency era?
Caroline used her fashion as a form of communication, often wearing risqué outfits that defied societal norms and showcased her personality, sending messages about her defiance and individuality.
171. Caroline of Brunswick | Rebel of the Regency with Vulgar History's Ann Foster
Q: How did Caroline become the People's Princess?
Caroline became the People's Princess largely due to her charm and public support, especially against the backdrop of George's unpopularity and the media's portrayal of their troubled marriage.
171. Caroline of Brunswick | Rebel of the Regency with Vulgar History's Ann Foster
Q: What compelled you to write about Caroline as your feature story? What makes her fascinating for you?
Caroline's story was fascinating because she is so little known despite living in a very famous time period. Her twists and turns were unrelenting, making her one of the most intriguing figures in history.
158. Andrew Morton is Back - Talking Fergie, Randy Andy, & More Windsor Scandals
Q: Do you think that Charles will pull that or will it be on William to do that?
I think it's going to be on William's dime, as he is stepping up to manage royal affairs amidst King Charles's health issues and the surrounding discussions about the monarchy's future.
158. Andrew Morton is Back - Talking Fergie, Randy Andy, & More Windsor Scandals
Q: What was your reaction when the news started to tumble out that King Charles had made some different decisions for how his administration was going to go in the last few weeks?
Initially surprised, as the tactic was to kick the can down the road. The Andrew and Virginia Gaffrey situation wouldn't go away, and the royal family's image was significantly affected.
