  • The Queen of Romance

    The Queen of Romance
    May 28 2024

    Over her lifetime, Dame Barbara Cartland would write over 700 books that would sell more than 750 MILLION copies worldwide. Though her books were primarily aimed and read by women, Cartland's messages were strickingly regressive, with an ephasis on purity that seems strange to modern readers of romance novels. As her step-granddaughter Diana Spencer would one day discover, some fairy tales don't align with reality.

    The Corpse on Trial
    May 21 2024

    When Pope Stephen was putting his predecessor on trial, there were signs that what he was doing wasn't quite right. For one, in the middle of the trial, an earthquake shook Rome. For another, his opponent was a dead body.

    May 14 2024

    From wife and sister of a Pharaoh, to regent to eventually Pharaoh in her own right, Hatshepsut is one of the most compelling figures of the ancient world, a woman who sought to preserve her legacy in real time by carving her accomplishments in stone.

Wonderful new(to me, at least)details LucyWalters

For decades, I
have looked for facts regarding the infamous black box. Charles and Lucy's love story has always been of interest to me and I enjoyed this podcast tremendously. Thank you for your research and attention to detail.

An enjoyable podcast, despite it’s grim theme.

This podcast has insights and stories about famous historical figures. Some of them are well known and some are less known, but all of them are interesting!

Noble Blood SUPERFAN!!!

I have to admit that when I started listening to this podcast about a year ago, it was an accident. I simply searched up a good history podcast to listen to every night on my Alexa device. And ever since then, I have been hooked on it. I absolutely adore Dana’s perspective and breakdown of significant moments in history. Her voice is also easy to follow and listen too. I love how she calls out past ways of thinking. I know so much more about extraordinary stories throughout the centuries. Dana and the rest of the Noble Blood team thank you for this gem!
