This is an episode of paranoia, jealousy, desperation, and self-fulfilling-God-given-prophecy. This is the story of King Saul and the Witch of Endor. What could have led the first king of Israel to the decision to visit a necromancer (that he himself banished)? Was it a mistake or a sin? Where is the line? Don't ask Saul, he has no idea.

Stay tuned for a VERY happy ending with Betsy, where we share our joy over our friend's wedding we attended over the weekend!

Well, our girl did it. She became part of that power couple, and they joined forces, had lots of babies, and lived happily ever after: the end.

Nope. It’s so much more than that. We’re talking her new husband and ex-husband meeting face to face, her sons starting a literal rebellion against their father the king, and being a prisoner for literal years… the life of Eleanor of Aquitaine is not for the weak.

She is the true Medieval Queen, and the legacy she leaves behind is loud. Long Live Queen Eleanor.

Well HoneyBees, it's time. After literal YEARS of waiting, Chris Riley is FINALLY giving us the story of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Blessed day.

In part one, we discuss the origins of Eleanor (the name and the woman) and her life through her first marriage. So you know, just becoming the queen of France, the Crusade, the pirate kidnapping, and the INSANE rumors started about this women.

And this is just the first half of her life.

We also get a Happy Ending with Betsy where we go over the scary movies coming out this spooky season!
