Door Key is talking about Zheng Yi Sao, the Pirate Queen this episode!

Zheng Yi Sao lived in China during the late 1700s and early 1800s, and from humble beginnings ended up becoming not only history's most successful female pirate, but one of the most successful pirates in history, period. Zheng Yi Sao is the epitome of the phrase ‘Well-behaved women seldom make history’, and her story is fascinating!

My friend historian, political scientist, and author Jackson van Uden and I had a conversation about totalitarian regimes and the movie ‘The Death of Stalin’. The movie is a satire, so we were able to talk about this dark subject from a different lens than usual.

During the episode about Rasputin, I promised to tell the story of what happened to the Romanovs after the death of Rasputin - this episode makes good on that promise!

What would happen next would not be good: Russia’s Prime Minister would step down, and Tsar Nicholas II would be forced to abdicate his throne, and a Provisional Government would be formed.
Ultimately, the Romanovs would end up under house arrest at a home that would come to be called ‘The House of Special Purpose’ … this episode gets into all of that, and discusses the mystery of what happened to the youngest Romanov daughter Anastasia.

The podcast Revolutions by Mike Duncan has an entire season dedicated to the Russian Revolution! It’s wonderful, and here’s a link to it if you want to dive further into the Russian Revolution: Revolutions podcast

June is Pride Month, and Door Key is celebrating that by talking about Sally Ride!

Sally Ride was an American astronaut and physicist. She joined NASA in 1978, and in 1983 became the first American woman and the third woman to fly in space. She was the youngest American astronaut to have flown in space. Sally Ride is also the first astronaut known to have been part of the LGBTQ+ community.
