Hot History

Divas its Odyssey day! I am so thrilled to bring this episode to you all as Christopher Nolan's film hits cinemas. We're covering as much as possible in summary form (there are 12,100 lines of this poem after all), from a tidbit on Homer to the end of the Trojan War and the King's return to Ithaca! 
As promised, the Hot History Substack is also now live! If you'd like to support us there, you'd be very welcome!

Hello you! Let's kick off our deep dive into the works of Homer by looking at the most contentious conflict in history - The Trojan War! Was Is it real? Is it allegory? Is there evidence?

Divas, strap in because this episode is what I like to call .. brain rot for intellectuals! It is full of castrations, cannibalism, incest, birthing from the head and thigh and even a spontaneous combustion, which means we can either be talking about Game of Thrones OR the Greek Gods! And in this case, it is the latter! From the primordial deities to the Olympians we're tracking the origins of the ancient Greek religious system and the figures who made it spin. Get ready, it's a wild one!

Hi Divas!
You've been asking for many MANY moons for this ep so here we go. Today we're deep diving into the life and lies of Anne Boleyn! Second wife of Henry VIII, mother of Elizabeth I and known throughout time as 'the great whore,' Anne's story is full of reformist ideas, bold declarations of love, the pressure of an heir and ultimately, tragedy, as she looses her life under the dynastic demands of Tudor England. I think you'll love this one guys, and I'm keen as always to hear your thoughts!
