From passionate romances to scandalous affairs, we dive into the relationships that shaped history, exploring their triumphs, tragedies, and enduring legacies. While we strive to research each episode thoroughly, please note that this podcast is for entertainment purposes only and should not be considered 100% historically accurate.

    Through immersive storytelling and rich historical details, our goal is to entertain, inspire, and remind listeners that love—whether forbidden, legendary, or unexpected—has always been at the heart of human history. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or a history buff, join us every Friday for a journey through time, where love truly stands the test of time.
