I’m totally enjoying Katie’s podcast with her straightforward assessments and storytelling. The cussing is artful, the sidebars are funny and relatable, and the stories get into details that make history more real. Please keep at it, Katie!
Love this podcast!
Just now discovering this in 2025… amazing! KC cracks me up! Also- I agree that Queen Consort is a tacky distinction to make. I can think of 3 categories of queen (consort, regina, and dowager but they’re all queens in their own right)
This is the best little gem I have found in such a long time!
Katie has this lovely energy that she shares with us when she tells her tales. She is wickedly smart, funny, and delightful. She covers a wide range of historical topics and does it with style and panache! I learn quite a bit while also being entertained.
