  • Friends to Lovers: Give Me Your Hand and Let Me All Your Fortunes Understand
    Mar 14 2025

    On this episode, we’ll be talking about Royal Couples that truly fit the trope of Friends to Lovers.

    The title of the episode is Give Me Your Hand and Let Me All Your Fortunes Understand, meaning our couples today knew each other of old and had to get married for practical reasons, but they grew to love each other with time.

    On the Royal Menu today we have:

    The Fair Maid Joan of Kent & Edward, the Black Prince (elder son of Edward III), as well as Anne Neville & Richard III.

    To help us understand these couples better, we've enlisted Sharon Bennett Connolly.

  • A Machine to Move Ocean and Earth with James Tejani
    Mar 12 2025

    Please welcome James Tejani on the show.

    We’re talking about his book A Machine to Move Ocean and Earth:

    The Making of the Port of Los Angeles and America.

    Published last year with WW Norton and Company.


    Let’s find out more about the San Pedro Bay and how it transformed into one of the most imPORTant locations in the world. Pun intended.

    What was the significance of this spot, why was it chosen, how did it develop? Which of America's famous sons were behind it?


    By the end of the episode we’ll also find out if Edward Ord, a pivotal character in this book, was a grandson of Prince Regent, i.e. George IV.

    But we’re getting ahead of ourselves…

    Welcome, James!

  • The Royal What-Ifs: We Know Not What We May Be...
    Mar 7 2025

    Welcome to our Royal Romance season.


    On this episode, we’ll be talking about Royal Pairs that never got together.

    The couples in question were considered by the powers that be, or they took a fancy to each other, but they either weren’t allowed to follow through with their plans, or fate decided otherwise.


    We’re looking at four such couples today, Richard III & Isabella of Castile,

    George I & Queen Anne, Emperor Alexander II of Russia and Queen Victoria,

    And finally, Prince Eddy a.k.a. Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale & Empress Alexandra.

    It is always curious to ponder how different history would be if certain events had developed differently.


    To talk of these would-be couples, as well as touch upon the alternative history that we never got to know, we have historians Chris Riley and Catherine Curzon.
