  • Count Orlok's Coat (with Linda Muir)

    Count Orlok's Coat (with Linda Muir)
    Feb 18 2025

    From leg-of-mutton sleeves to fur overcoats, the costumes in Robert Eggers's Nosferatu are extraordinarily detailed and, thanks to the research of Oscar-nominated costume designer Linda Muir, incredibly historically accurate. Dana speaks with Muir about her work, and the process of creating costumes for German gentleman, wealthy ladies, and a 300-year-old decomposing corpse.

  • “No one else in the world but her!”

    “No one else in the world but her!”
    Feb 11 2025

    Prince Wilhelm of Prussia had fallen in love with Elisa von Radzwill, and wanted to marry her. Unfortunately, even though she was a princess, her rank was low enough that the marriage would actually be illegal. Still, the two clung to the hope they would end up together, fighting royals and bureacrats for years to try to make it happen.

    The Myth and Making of Lawrence of Arabia
    Feb 4 2025

    Most people know of the famous "Lawrence of Arabia" thanks to the iconic imagery of the Oscar-winning film. But far fewer people know of the real man behind the myth, who fought for Britain and for the Arab Revolt during World War I and became a folk hero in the process.

Such an amazing story!

I completely loved the story. I love all of Dana's Noble Blood episodes but this one for some reason really resonated with me. I have only admiration for the Texas princes and will be definitely find out more about her life. Thanks for this amazing episode and for all the others. I enjoyed them very much!
