In this 2-part podcast we'll be looking at the six women married to Henry VIII:
Catherine of Aragon,
Anne Boleyn,
Jane Seymour,
Anne of Cleaves,
Katherine Howard,
and Catherine Parr.
These women shaped England, bore future monarchs, lived, loved, and deserve to be remembered as more than one word the rhyme, “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived” which Hayley Nolan describes as “...a delightful way to trivialise thirty-eight years of collective trauma, misery and murder…”
This time we look at Henry's final three wives; Anne of Cleaves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr.

Hello and happy spooky season.
Between August and November 1888 at least 5 women were murdered by Jack the Ripper, and whilst there are tons of books, podcasts, and documentaries focused on the identity of the killer his victims; Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddows, and Mary Jane Kelly who are known as the canonical five are meer footnotes. However, we think it's more important we remember the women he killed and the lives they led. So, join us for a six part mini-series that looks at each of the victims lives, with one last podcast dedicated to possible Ripper Victims.
Starting us off we have Mary Ann ‘Polly’ Nichols.
Due to the nature of the topic, this podcast is not going to be family friendly. We are also giving a trigger warning for alcoholism, prostitution, and murder and mutilation.

Hello and welcome to the first Solving History of 2023!
In this episode Emily looks atthe infamous Mystery House in San Jose, California. An architectural wonder and historic landmark, it was once the personal residence of Sarah Winchester, the widow of William Wirt Winchester and heiress to a large portion of the Winchester Repeating Arms fortune. Today the house boasts having drawn over 12 million guests to visit the house since its doors opened in June of 1923, why? Well, for 38 years, Sarah was said to have had construction going 24 hours a day at her home - no ordinary construction job, though; the house is a labyrinth of rooms that at one point reached seven stories and is filled with weird things like stairs and doors that go nowhere all in order to keep ghosts at bay… or was it?

Hello Nerdlings,
In this two-part bonus mini-series we are looking at pilgrimage. Part one will look at the religious and historical aspect and part two will look at the cultural and tourism side of pilgrimage.
It wouldn't be a Sagas podcast without weird facts and questionable comments and this podcast includes plenty or both! It also includes lines such as "First we need to talk about the Virgin Mary's breast milk." and "That's all very interesting but I didn't hear anything about the Loch Ness Monster."
Intrigued? Have a listen to find out more.

In this episode we take a look into the suspicious death of Amy Dudley, wife to the infamous Robert Dudley.
On the 8th September 1560, Amy Dudley was found dead at the bottom of a staircase. The resulting shock caused a crack in the relationship (whether romantically or friendly) between Dudley and Elizabeth I and even today, the extent to which Dudley or the Queen were involved in Amy’s death is still unclear, but the suspicious circumstances fuelled gossip in the elite circles of Tudor society and persists to this day.

In this episode we are going to look into a few female cannibal killers, including Natalia Baksheeva who is suspected of eating up to 30 people and “goading” her husband into eating a waitress that was flirting with him. Tamara Samsonova or “The Granny Ripper” who was implicated in nearly 14 murders before her arrest in 2015. Olesya Mostovscikova who killed and ate a neighbour after an altercation as well as Omaima Nelson, the Thanksgiving butcher and Leonarda Cianeiulli the soap-maker of Correggio.
WARNING it is going to be gory and quite frankly disturbing and in no way are we trivialising the victims deaths.
