Do you love listening to & learning about history? Or maybe you just enjoy some snarky commentary. Either way, I think you’ll enjoy my chats about my favorite times in history, both near & far. I excel at giving lectures that are fun, funny & engaging. And yes, a little snarky.

The Civil War
I had a lot to fun writing and researching this one.
Larson, Erik. The Demon of Unrest: Abraham Lincoln & America’s Road to Civil War. HarperCollins UK, 2024.
This is a great book, highly recommend it.

Magna Carta
This time we jump into Magna Carta. I promise I'm more interesting than your high school history teacher.
References:
Jones, Dan. The Plantagenets : The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England. Viking Peguin Books, 2014.
I highly recommend all of Dan's books, as well as his spectacular podcast, This is History: A Dynasty to Die For. You can get really stuck in with John and his dismal reign. If you become a subscriber, you can also hear me on one of the bonus episodes and see where this podcast got its name!
I also used Wikipedia for quick name, place and date looks ups. I did use the Magna Carta article quite a bit for dates and such.

Henry & Anne
Did Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn Love Each Other—or was it something toxic?
Join me as I explore the beginnings of one of the most infamous relationships in history.
I used:
Weir, A. (2018). The six wives of henry VIII Alison Weir. Grove Press.
Highly recommend all of her books, both fiction and nonfiction.
I also used Wikipedia for quick date and spelling checks.
