About Wicked Women: The Podcast
They were adulterers, murderers, mistresses, religious zealots, thieves, and traitors. They were queens, wives, mothers, young, and old. What binds the women together in this podcast is their legacies. These are women who were known during their lifetimes or reinvented after their deaths as wicked women. The lenses of history are often gendered, damning women for some of the same actions that men have been lauded for. The nuances surrounding the women in this podcast were removed in exchange for a one-sided portrayal. Within Wicked Women: The Podcast, I do not attempt to excuse or condone the wrongs committed by these women, instead, the podcast looks at their overarching story and examines the origin of their negative legacy. Alongside a brief biographical overview of the woman, I will be incorporating interviews I have held with experts on the subject to provide multiple and diverse perspectives. Hosted on Acast.

Tahmineh: Witch, Mother, or Monster?
Published 27 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Now, the interesting thing about Taimina is that she does not really appear in the Shahname in more than two scenes. She doesn't have a lot of page time. But to me, she was instantly memorable for her sheer boldness in pursuing the man she wanted for a child. She didn't even care about marriage, really. Rustam was the one who proposed marriage. And without Demina, the story of Rustam and Saurabh would essentially not exist. She's the one whose actions drive key points in the narrative. So it seemed really clear to me that she deserved to be at the center of this story and that we needed to know more about her. […]
