    Druids: Fact and Fantacy

    Druids: Fact and Fantacy

    If you're a fantasy lover like me, the mere mention of druids might conjure up images of wise, bearded wizards, powerful witches, and nature-bound warriors straight out of "Lord of the Rings" or "Game of Thrones." But who were the real druids, and how much of what we "know" is merely Roman propaganda or modern fantasy? Buckle up my delicious little doughnut, as we embark on a journey to unravel the truth behind these mysterious figures of ancient Europe.

    Empress Baddie: the World’s First Author Enheduanna

    Empress Baddie: the World’s First Author Enheduanna

    Step right up, history BFFs! Today, we're diving headfirst into the ancient Mesopotamian saga of Enheduanna, a woman who defied the odds, battled patriarchal nonsense, and penned the very first poem in recorded history. But hold onto your clay tablets, because this story's got more twists and turns than a Sumerian soap opera!
    Picture it: ancient Mesopotamia, where clay tablets were all the rage, and 'emojis' meant chiseling tiny pictures into your communication medium of choice. Enter Enheduanna, daughter of the big boss man, Sargon of Akkad Emperor of the first Empire. While others were busy tallying sheep and wheat stocks, Enheduanna had bigger plans – like, let's revolutionize literature, shall we?
    But before I spoil the whole thing press play why don't ya?

    The Bizarre History of Hysteria

    The Bizarre History of Hysteria

    You are not gonna guess how long the "disease" hysteria has been plaguing humanity! 😱
    In this week's episode, we take a deep dive into the history of hysteria and take a look at how this sexist phenomenon still affects us 4,000 years after it first reared its ugly head. Spicy TK definitely makes an appearance in this episode, and we have garbage humans that follow us from ancient Egypt to Greece, to the modern day. If you've got a uterus, hold onto it for dear life, so that it doesn't wander around your body and cause you distress, and let's get into the history of hysteria.

Great Show, Always Learn Something

I first found TK from her reels on Facebook. When I learned about her podcast, I immediately subscribed. Every single episode has been both informative and entertaining (though some bring out the spicy version of me just like the topics can bring out spicy TK as well). Definitely looking forward to more seasons and wanted to tell you TK that you’re amazing and I wish we we neighbors because you seem like someone who I’d get along with really well in real life! Stay hydrated, get some rest as you prepare for the next season, and keep doing what you’re doing!

The Friendly Podcast Guide ,

History with personality

I love that I leave each episode feeling like I’m friends with Tk. Not only does she give us well researched information, she also gives it to us in a way that makes me interested in learning about it!

For the love of History!

This is digestible, enjoyable historical nuggets. Presented in a sunshiny way. I 1st came across TK on her infotainment skits, found my way to the podcast and now I’m burning through them.

The thought and research that goes into each episode is not lost on me, can’t wait til next season.

KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK TK! 💚
