  • Catherine the Great & Her Many Lovers

    Catherine the Great & Her Many Lovers
    Nov 19 2024
    The deliciously witty drama series ‘The Great’ tells the occasionally true story of Catherine II, Empress of Russia. It’s a wonderful example of why historic dramas should be taken as entertainment, not a history lesson. While playing fast and loose with history it actually sanitizes a lot of the scandal in her life by transforming Peter into a romantic antihero and making Catherine fall in love with him. In reality Catherine didn’t keep Peter around for a ‘will they, won’t they’ Hollywood romance. Her lover promptly strangled him in prison. Catherine the Great knew how to use her charm and sexuality, the only tools available to a woman of her time, both for her own advancement and her own pleasure. And while I love the great, it so far only captures a fraction of her true greatness. So let’s take a peek inside the imperial boudoir and get to know the Empress, her twisted relationship with Peter and her many lovers a little more intimately. And we’ll address that horrid rumor about the horse. Sergei Saltykov Stanislaw Poniatowski Grigory Orlov Alexander Vasilchikov Grigory Potemkin Pyotr Zavadovsky Semyon Zorich Ivan Rimsky-Korsakov Alexander Lanskoy Alexander Yermolov Alexander Dmitriev-Mamonov Platon Zubov Plus Peter’s Mistress, Elizaveta Vorontsova Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

  • 10 Ridiculous Rumors about Historic Royals

    10 Ridiculous Rumors about Historic Royals
    Nov 5 2024
    The public loves a good story about the salacious private lives of the rich and famous. And royals often really did get up to some jaw-dropping behaviors. But sometimes a grain of rumor can be so enthralling that it snowballs into an unshakable myth. If you ask the average person what they know about Catherine the Great they are likely to say “Isn’t she the one who was crushed under a horse?” Many are still convinced that Queen Elizabeth I was really a man. And Marie Antionette will forever be linked with the misquote “Let them eat cake!” Today let’s explore 10 commonly believed myths about historic royals, examine how the rumors got started and separate what is gospel from what is just gossip. Anne Boleyn was a Witch with 6 Fingers Mary I was Bloody Mary Elizabeth I was actually a Man Queen Juana was Loca Marie Antoinette said “Let Them Eat Cake” Catherine the Great Loved Horse, Literally Napoleon told Josephine “I will return in three days. Don’t wash!” Prince Albert had a Prince Albert Piercing Prince Albert Victor was really Jack the Ripper Elizabeth II had 4 cocktails a day Check out the History Tea Time Podcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7iW8gOI5wb5TNFAIhBd9Om?si=46aeeacd64214ac0 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/history-tea-time/id1619978406 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy84Yzg1ZWU5MC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

From YouTube to Podcast!

I've looked forward to History Tea Time, Tuesdays on YouTube for years. Now I can bring Lindsay Holiday with me on the road, when I'm creating my art and when I can't quite get to sleep. I love the narrator's (Lindsay's) voice, her sarcastic sense of humor, and unique topics. She packs a lot of info in 30ish minutes, with no extra chitty chat. I highly recommend this podcast!

Good content, not so good presentation

Presentation seems like a long run on sentence. Pause between periods at the end of a sentence please. Hard to listen with out frequent rewinding.

Great stories but…

The stories are interesting but the speaker’s voice inflection at the end of sentences sounds like a news reporter. I can only tolerate it for so long.
