• S2 Ep17: Buster Keaton, The Exclusive Property of MGM

  Famous for his dead-pan comedy style, Buster Keaton was one the kings of slapstick comedy. But behind his success hid battles with production studios, his wife, and his addiction. In today’s episode, we’re reading Keaton’s memoir “My Wonderful World of Slapstick”.  ________________  If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon!  https://www.patreon.com/textory

• S2 Ep16: The Private (?) Life of Marie Antoinette

  There is so much myth and speculation around who Marie Antoinette was as a person, that it’s really helpful to have historical texts from the era – like today’s “Memoirs of Madame Campan” - of people that really knew her. But how reliable are her observations?  ________________  If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon!  https://www.patreon.com/textory

• S2 Ep15: The Mass Female Protest of Ancient Rome

  Probably the farthest we’ve ever gone in our podcast time machine – today we’re in ancient Rome, in a crowd of very upset women, as described by Livy in “History of Rome”.  ________________  If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon!  https://www.patreon.com/textory

• S2 Ep14: I’d Rather Drown Than Submit To a Man

  A feminist – bordering on misandrist – text from 1592? Written by a woman? Count me in! In today’s episode, we’re reading Moderata Fonte’s “The Merits of Women”, translated and edited by Virginia Cox.  ________________  If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon!  https://www.patreon.com/textory

• S2 Ep13: The OG Edwardian Cat Lady

  While owning cats as pets goes back to antiquity and beyond, the existence of self-proclaimed “cat people” is a result of the popularization of the hobby in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today we’re reading Francis Simpson’s “Cats and All About Them” from 1902 to see what Edwardian cat ownership looked like.  ________________  If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon!  https://www.patreon.com/textory
