Mon, 11 Aug 2025 23:01:00 +0000

Ravensbrück was the only major Nazi concentration camp for women, located just miles north of Berlin, it was close enough to hand, but far enough to avoid too many questions. A place of brutality, where women were used as forced labour for Siemens and Heinkel, to build rockets and luftwaffe machinery. To provide products for businesses owned by prominent SS, and to make uniforms for the soldiers. But it wasn't all work, women were used for horrific "scientific" experiments, tortured and more...

134. Dr Gisella Perl - Abortionist at Auschwitz

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 01:28:27 +0000

Dr Gisella Perl is a woman worth remembering this Women's History Month, a gynaecologist at a time when women, let alone Jewish women, were entering and excelling in medicine. A woman, a prisoner, a doctor who would work against the odds to save as many lives as she could in the notorious death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau. Warning, this week's episode is not for the faint of heart, a big huge trigger warning for all of the violence and abuse.

133. America's Forgotten War on Women

Sat, 08 Mar 2025 01:25:08 +0000

The American Plan was one of the largest violations of women's rights in US history, but it's one of the least remembered. For over half a century thousands of American women were arrested, forcibly examined and detained without due process, no trial and no evidence of a crime. Their offence? Being suspected of "immorality" under the social hygiene movement, also known as the American Plan.

70. The Rise and Fall of the East India Company

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

For a historical example of just how incredibly devious, vile and downright evil a corporation can be, look no further than the East India Company's undisputed reign of terror. You may recognise these foes as the non-magical, mercantile, malevolent force two of the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels and unsurprisingly they are so much worse than is portrayed in a Disney movie (or two.) So get ready for some capital colonialism and listen to the tale of the EIC.

An amazing woman from Irish history who once divorced her husband by shouting at him through a window, shocked the entirety of Queen Elizabeth I's court besieged more than one castle to avenge a loved one!

Gráinne O Malley, went by many names, Gráinne Uí Maille, Gráinne Mhaol and Gráinuaile... Not once in her lifetime did she ever go by the name "Grace" - in fact those names have nothing in common. If you call her Grace, you are wrong. That is not and has never been her name. The Irish pirate queen had her name and her personhood stripped away by an olde English dude who thought her Irish name should sound more palatable.

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Inis Beag, a small island off the coast of Galway, was an Irish island that was so repressed no-one got naked, even to bathe! The rural islanders were so isolated from the mainland that when the Swinging Sixties came around, the inhabitants barely noticed. No-one was safe from the sexual repression, men, women, children or even our furry friends. (Animals, I mean animals)

48 - The 1788 Doctor's Riots

Tue, 05 Jul 2022 01:10:00 +0000

The origins of modern medicine were murky at best and maleficent at worst. Doctors needed to study the human body in order to understand the human body, unfortunately the one thing they required was the one thing they couldn't have! Physicians could not legally acquire human remains and so they had to take matters into the own hands...

The life of the infamous Elizabeth Báthory has been a cautionary tale of terror throughout the ages, known as a vampiric villainess who viciously murdered over young women and girls and bathing in their blood in order to retain her youth and beauty.

But, was Countess Báthory Erszébet a sadistic serial killer, or was she a victim of a slanderous conspiracy to crush a strong woman and others like her...?

36 - JonBenét Ramsey - The Unsolved Murder of the Baby Beauty Queen

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 23:08:00 +0000

This week join Katie as she struggles to discuss a piece of modern history and one of America's most notorious cold cases, the unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey, a child beauty queen and more importantly, a six year old child.

The JonBenet Ramsey case is riddled with inconsistencies, mistakes, conflicting theories and an absolute clusterf**k by law enforcement. Was this a kidnapping gone wrong by a small foreign faction, a cruel killing made to look like a kidnapping, or a crude cover-up to save face?
