Get ready, Weirdos, because this week's episode is a royal rumble! We're digging into the dirt (literally) to unearth the strange saga of Richard III, the infamous English king whose reputation has been mangled by Shakespearean drama. But was he really the villain we've been led to believe? And what's the deal with his missing body turning up centuries later under a parking lot?! Join Stephanie as she pieces together the clues, sifts through the historical muck, and separates fact from fiction. We'll explore the Wars of the Roses, investigate the controversies surrounding Richard III's reign, and reveal the astonishing discovery that finally put his bones to rest. It's a tale of betrayal, political intrigue, and a surprisingly modern twist that proves truth can be stranger than fiction. So buckle up for a wild ride through medieval England, where even a king isn't safe from a little parking drama! - Thank you for listening Weirdos!
