It's our 100th episode!! To celebrate, we spend the first 20 minutes or so playing trivia about our past episodes, then dive into the scandalous love story between King James I and George Villiers.

Sit back, relax, and grab your pop-corn with this episode. It’s almost too crazy to believe. You may almost think you started accidentally listening to an audio book of a Shakespeare play. After all, this episode has got it all: bitter exes, rival lovers, house explosions, poison, trials, fighting, executions, war, sex, and above all, love.

Travel back to the 17th century this week and discover why the mysterious relationship between King James I and George Villiers continues to have historians fighting amongst each other, even now, 400 years later.
