  • 103. George Villiers - 1st Duke of Buckingham
    Apr 1 2024
    There's nothing typical about the King's favourite, George Villiers, the 1st Duke of Buckingham. A man so charming that a dukedom was created just for him, and so hated that the country celebrated his demise. The man made such an impression that he made it to the pages of Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers! Hosted by Katie Charlwood Part of the Airwave Media Network - www.airwavemedia.com I'm on Tour!

Love listening to Katie

As a history person myself I love listening to Katie. Her informal style and reflections on what happened keep the stories from getting bogged down in facts and allows the events and people to shine in the retelling. Occasionally, she'll leave me wanting more information, for example she might state that a person was cruel without giving examples, and I'll think: but how Katie? Did he beat his wife? Was he oppressive to his tenants?etc. But I also realize she only has so much time to tell a story and some details may need to be left out. If I'm still sufficiently curious when she finishes her story I'll look up more information myself.

I also suffer terrible insomnia and listen to Katie as I lie in bed. The stories distract me from the pain that keeps me awake and sometimes even help me fall asleep.
