March  is Women's History Month, and Door Key is celebrating that by having a discussion with author Aly Riley!
Aly and I discuss her book 'She Spies: Women of the American Revolution, their historic missions, and agent 355 revealed'.
This book talks about the roles women played during the American Revolution, especially focusing on the spying some women did during the American Revolution. It's a fascinating book, and Aly and I had a wonderful discussion.

You can find the book She Spies on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/She-Spies-American-Revolution-Missions/dp/B0CJ4DTSZG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=30BFZOGD5P4U9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.nEf31nGemDZyBr7uKia_VBSdwjGp-_7yrVlEK6rcDdKpcEd3kFkNlxM8ESY-QFMow6tEYyahPYK09gRla9A5oE_ggjXsghnbjHbae1g3zF_W8hDf24eHO7bXXLxLx4pvDInlhw0ivvBBDgHEz4c11b6F1ac0EyiNT3-XghE54V8DSudNBacYVxqpiSXDelCnFICpvp0pAVux05mipIz6LOgvDtbXwN8n82L0GgiD0-0.Pg00omf-3Rxz1FuVH0hQefGGNUuKu8zDydP4qaRsJQA&dib_tag=se&keywords=she+spies&qid=1710192161&sprefix=she+spies%2Caps%2C188&sr=8-1

February is Black History Month, and Door Key is celebrating that by talking about George Washington Carver.
Carver was one of the most prominent black scientists of the early 20th century. He was a professor at Tuskegee Institute, where he developed techniques to improve soil that had been depleted by repeated plantings of cotton. He also wrote a bulletin that contained 105 recipes using peanuts, and spent years developing and promoting many products made from peanuts. Carver was also a leader in promoting environmentalism, and received numerous honors for his work.

Door Key is celebrating Black History Month by talking about the one and only Josephine Baker!

Josephine Baker was an American-born French dancer, singer, and actress. She was a flapper synonymous with that era, as well as  the first black woman to star in a major motion picture. But she was so much more than that - she was a member of the French Resistance during World War II, and then went on to fought for Civil Rights in America during the 50s and 60s. Josephine Baker was an incredible person with an incredible story!

This episode discusses the history of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is a holiday that is celebrated in America, and is on the fourth Thursday of every November. (There's also Canadian Thanksgiving, as well as similar celebrations in other places of the world, but this episode specifically focuses on American Thanksgiving.)



This is episode #48, which means episode #50 is coming up. I'm going to be celebrating this milestone by answering listener questions. If you have a question for me, please send it to [email protected], and I'll read it and answer it in the special episode.

This episode discusses Mary I of England. Mary I is known to history as Bloody Mary, but her real name was Mary Tudor. She was King Henry VIII’s oldest child and the daughter of Catherine of Aragon.

This episode is about Juana of Castille, who was Queen of Castile. Known to history as Juana la Loca (which translates to Juana the Crazy, or Juana the Mad), Juana had a very tumultuous, tragic life that certainly qualifies for an episode in the Spooktaculer.

In November of 1924, a group of people went out on William Randolph Heart's yacht which was named The Oneida to celebrate film producer Thomas Ince's birthday.
The weekend ended with Thomas Ince's death.
It's unclear what happened on the yacht that weekend to cause Thomas Ince's death, but I'm talking about it in this episode, in what I've dubbed 'The Oneida Incident'.

This episode explores the history of the ancient Roman city Pompeii, and gives examples of the (sometimes bawdy) graffiti found scrawled on the walls of the city when it was dug up centuries after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in  79 CE.

(A bit of a content warning here, as some of the graffiti is spicy!)

June is Pride Month, so this episode is about Baron von Steuben.
Baron von Steuben was a Prussian Baron who came to the US to help train the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.
He was smart. He was brave. He was charismatic.  He was so instrumental in helping the Continental Army win the Revolutionary War that there's a statue of him in Lafayette Square in Washington, DC. He was also openly gay in the 1700s.

This episode discusses the life of Queen Charlotte.
Queen Charlotte was the wife of King George III. This episode talks about her life before she married the King of England, her life as Queen of England, and discusses what her life was like after George III 'went mad'.
This episode was inspired by the Netflix series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, so I'll be talking about the show and how it compares to the real history.
