Victoria Woodhull
October 22, 2020 06:00 - 56 minutesVictoria Woodhull would eventually go on to be the first woman to run for president in the United States, but how did she get started? Would you believe if we told you that by the time she ran for president she was already a retired child psychic? Yup, the Spiritual movement of the late 19th century played a huge part in the young presidential hopeful. But, it wasn't all great Vicky. But it was always interesting. Today we discuss the early years of this trailblazer and sip on a nice rum coc...

Juana of Castile pt 1
June 02, 2020 01:06 - 1 hourYou’d think by having parents known as the power couple of Europe, dubbed the “Catholic Monarchs” by the Pope himself, that life would be a bit easier for our girl, Juana of Castile. Despite a surprisingly decent upbringing and a powerful mom who had the funds to bankroll Christopher Columbus’ voyage to America, Juana’s seemingly good fortune takes a turn not too long after her marriage to Philip the Handsome, Duke of Burgundy. Although Juana and Philip’s attraction is on fire from day one, ...

Hortense Mancini part 1

This Italian beauty was raised at the French court, along with her beautiful sisters. You could even compare them to another group of beautiful, scandalous sisters from today. Oh, yeah. The Mancini sisters are 100% the original Kardashians. As a young woman, Hortense (the IT girl of Paris) was married to an absolute dud of a man and this beautiful socialite was t...

The first person in her family to be born free, she lived in the highly integrated (but still pretty racist) New Orleans society. As a young mother, Marie started doing hair to make a living and, just like in American Horror Story Coven (the only thing that show got right about our girl), she earned a reputation from there as a mystic. But it's also possible that she was just good at listenin...
