Zuzu Angel
Welcome back, Queens. Today, we're heading to Brazil to get into the life of the iconic fashion designer turned political activist, Zuzu Angel. In the middle of Brazil’s 1960s–70s military dictatorship, Zuzu turned her runway into a rebellion. Her bright, tropical designs celebrated the culture her government was trying to silence, and when her son was “disappeared” for opposing the regime, she used fashion itself as protest. If you love your fashion with a side of badass activism, then this story is for you.

Margaret Pole part 3
Here it is, the finale to the wild life of Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury and last great Plantagenet. What a rollercoaster it's been. We jump back into Henry VIII’s chaos: Catherine of Aragon cast aside, Anne Boleyn crowned (and gone), Thomas Cromwell on the rise, and our fiercely Catholic Margaret trying to keep her head We follow Reginald Pole’s “turbo treason” across Europe and watch as the Exeter Conspiracy brings down Margaret and her family. From skipped coronations and pointed petitions to house arrest and the Tower, we unpack how a 60-something noblewoman became the poster child for Tudor paranoia, and why her 1541 execution by bill of attainder stunned Europe.

Margaret Pole part 2
Margaret Pole Part II: Countess of Salisbury, Catherine of Aragon’s Bestie & Mary Tudor’s Mentor In this episode, we track Margaret from a broke widow and Catherine of Aragon’s confidante to a savvy court operator who’s made a Countess in her own right. But, this is the Tudor era so something wild is always lurking right around the corner. We're talking messy divorce scandals, treasonous dukes and just a whole lot of drama. Listen for: Wars of the Roses fallout, early King Henry VIII of England vibes (pre–axe era), Queen Mary Tudor’s childhood, sweating sickness, and how one woman’s patronage and grit shaped a future queen.
