  • THE RELUCTANT EMPRESS Sisi
    Feb 21 2025
    She prevented war and death on an immense scale, in acts that could earn the Nobel Peace Prize today. But History enshrined Sisi, Empress of Austria, as a vain beauty queen. The smear campaign was personal, not political: it started with her own tyrannical mother-in-law. Can Sisi conquer her own self-doubt, and drag draconian Austria into the modern world? Our guest is Nancy Goldstone, author of The Rebel Empresses: Elisabeth of Austria and Eugenie of France, Power and Glamor in the Struggle for Europe. _________________ Music in the episode includes works by Johann Strauss, Joseph Suk, Giuseppe Verdi, Bedrich Smetana, Johannes Brahms, Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt, and Kevin MacLeod.

    Feb 8 2025
    When world-famous strongman Eugen Sandow finally met his match, nobody expected it to be at the hands of an 18 year old girl.

Guest Haley Shapley, author of Strong Like Her, introduces us to this astonishing, unexpected heroine. Your wish is our command! THE GREAT SANDWINA hoodies and tanks are HERE! Voiceovers for this episode provided by Marion Lamm, Anica Bell, Mark Henderson, and Matthew Meikle.
