  • Pocahontas, 2024

    Pocahontas, 2024
    Nov 26 2024
    It's Thanksgiving and National Native American Heritage Month here in the United States so, this week, we continue our tradition of sharing this episode from 2017. Pocahontas' real story is much different than the romanticized versions of her life! At this time of year, here, when American History is told and retold over turkey and Ubiquitous Green Bean Casserole, we want to do our part to contribute to that conversation (even if we aren't involved in the "Is It Dressing or Stuffing" debate with you all.) US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs- for information and links about Native American Heritage Month and more. Looking to help support the show?

    Paris 2024 Travelogue
    Nov 13 2024
    We took fifty friends with us on our latest women's history tour to the City of Light! From a private nighttime tour of Versailles to a luncheon at Veuve Clicquot, through pastries shaped like apples at A. LaCroix patisserie and an ocean of glorious onion soup, we filled our suitcases with treasures and our hearts with joy. But perhaps the best souvenirs we all brought home were the lifelong friends we made along the way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

These ladies are the bomb!

It’s like listening to a friend tell a story, except with researched details. I went to see the musical “Six” and before I went I listened to the History Chicks podcasts on Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and the “other four wives”. It really filled in the background details in the musical (which was fantastic).

History with a sense of humor.

Brilliant

Favorite podcast I've come across. Entertaining and educational. I'm hooked. Pleasant to listen too and just so much information without it feeling like a classroom lecture.

Great and Engaging

I've been following this podcast for years and have never missed a single episode since my first listen, which was the original Queen Lili'oukalani episode. Nice to see things come full circle. The narrators do a great job of keeping you interested throughout the episode, and I cannot tell just how much I have learned from simply listening to the two talking and nerding out about history (especially about women in history whose stories don't receive enough attention or have been re-written by men) like I do.

Well researched history!

I love this podcast. The individual episodes are long but do very complete coverage of the subject. I listen all the time.

What can I say- I am addicted to the History Chicks

Witty, interesting stories of real women. I have listened with great interest to all of the stories of these interesting remarkable famous and infamous women throughout the ages. The biggest takeaway is the courage of these women. Truth is way,way,more interesting than fiction. I can’t wait to meet up with Susan and Beckett in Paris in less than a week
