Newly released DOJ Epstein files are raising serious questions — and the timing alone is explosive.Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has shared images from a December 2025 DOJ document release showing an Austrian passport under the alias “Marius Robert Fortelni.” The photo matches Jeffrey Epstein, and an EFTA locator confirms the document was a modified real passport, not a crude forgery.According to the files, the passport — issued in 1984 and expired in 1989 — was discovered inside Epstein's safe during the 2019 FBI raid. Analysts note that expired passports can still be used for certain European financial transactions, including property deals and opening bank accounts, without crossing borders.Even more troubling: FBI records reference Epstein discussing multiple trips to France using this alias, suggesting at minimum institutional awareness, if not deeper questions that remain unanswered.While no evidence in the files confirms intelligence-agency involvement, the documents directly contradict years of public assumptions about Epstein's movements, access, and protection.So the real question is simple:Why are we only seeing this now?

On February 5, 1976, Franz Klammer delivered one of the most electrifying performances in Winter Olympic history, charging down the Patscherkofel course in Innsbruck to win gold in the men's downhill. The 22-year-old Austrian was already a World Cup star, but the pressure on him that day was immense. Austria was hosting the Games, the nation expected victory in its signature alpine event, and Klammer had struggled in training runs. Wearing bib No. 15, he attacked the mountain with breathtaking aggression—arms flailing, skis rattling, barely holding the racing line—yet somehow stayed upright. When he crossed the finish line and saw he had taken the lead, the eruption from the home crowd was as dramatic as the run itself. Now, 50 years later to the day, Klammer joins the guys on the Past Our Prime podcast to talk about that life changing 1 :45.73 down the icy mountain and how for Austria, Klammer's victory was far more than just a gold medal. Alpine skiing is woven into the country's cultural identity; its champions are national heroes, symbols of resilience and pride in a small alpine nation that measures itself against the world on snow. Hosting the Olympics magnified that pride—and the anxiety. A loss in the marquee downhill could have felt like a national disappointment. Instead, Klammer's daring descent became a unifying moment, a release of collective tension and a reaffirmation of Austrian excellence in the mountains that define the country. His win gave the home Games their emotional centerpiece and remains one of the most cherished moments in Austrian sports history. That significance was captured internationally when Klammer appeared on the cover of the February 16, 1976 issue of Sports Illustrated. The cover cemented his run not just as a national triumph, but as a global sporting spectacle—an image of fearless commitment under overwhelming pressure. On POP, Klammer recalls how going last down the mountain was torturous waiting his turn. He knew he had the weight of his country on his shoulders and attacked the mountain knowing that his rival and now good friend Bernhard Russi had just set a record time coming down the hill. Now it was his turn. He tells us he was going to do one of two things... crash or win. He won. One of the greatest skiers ever... Franz Klammer on the Past Our Prime podcast.

In a tribute to the 2026 Winter Olympics being held right now in Cortina, Italy, Amy takes up a discussion of skiing in Japan. Japan has hosted the Winter Olympics 2 times: 1972 (Sapporo) and 1998 (Nagano). Amy introduces previous Washington Post Tokyo Bureau Chief T.R. Reid's guidebook called Ski Japan! (Kodansha, 1993). T.R. Reid lived in Japan for five years during the early 1990's. When the Gulf War started, the world turned its attention to that news, leaving foreign journalists in Japan with some unexpected free time. Reid and his family took action: they went skiing! The result is his 1993 guide to skiing in Japan, called Ski Japan!Tasked with updating the book for 2026-27 skiing and snowboarding audience, Amy talks about some of the points in Reid's book: things that have changed as well as those that have not, and the affects of mass-tourism on Japan's ski resorts.Ski Resorts Mentioned:Niseko, Asahidake, Furano, Naeba, Hakuba Valley, Madarao and Tangram Ski Circus, and Myoko Ski Resorts.Literary Ski SpotsYasunari Kawabata's Snow Country took place in Yuzawa Onsen, the train station you get off at to get to Naeba Ski Area. There's a Snow Country museum behind the station which is excellent.In Sapporo's Odori Park, there is a statue of Ishikawa Takuboku (1886-1912), author and poet: A Handful Of Sand, Romaji Diary and Sad Toys.In Asahikawa, Hokkaido, there is the lovely, contemplative Miura Ayako Literature Museum dedicated to the Christian novelist who lived from 1922-1999, and wrote Shiokari Pass as well as other works not yet translated into English. It's a lovely 30-40 minute walk through the snow from the back of Asahikawa station.There are also several statues and plaques dedicated to the two Austrian fathers of Japanese Skiing: Theordore Von Lerch and Hannes Schnieder. Von Lerch monuments can be found in the front of Asahikawa Airport in Hokkaido, and at Joetsu, Niigata, the latter considered the birthplace of skiing in Japan.   The Books on Asia Podcast is co-produced with Plum Rain Press.

What if some dude who liked to make people feel bad directed a home invasion film that he felt showcased important elements of what's wrong with society, but confused which thing was more important to him along the way, but still managed to make a near masterpiece in the process? That's not rhetorical, I'm asking you. Please tell me. If you aren't familiar with Funny Games, you might want to read up on it a little before diving in. The artistry is in the execution, not in the surprises. And, God damn, if it isn't artistic. You might be surprised by our ratings on this most Austrian episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for people who want to get art but don't quite get art, so their sentences about how they feel about art just kind of trail off at the end.

This episode from the Pacific War Channel podcast, hosted by Craig with co-host Gaurav and guest Simone, dives into the European theater of the Seven Years War (1758-1760), focusing on Frederick the Great's struggles against overwhelming Austrian, Russian, and French coalitions. It covers key battles and strategies, starting with the disastrous Prussian siege of Olmütz, thwarted by Austrian ambushes at Domstad, leading to heavy supply losses. The narrative shifts to the Hanoverian front, where Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick's allied forces repel French advances at Crefeld. The brutal Battle of Zorndorf sees Prussians clash with Russians in a bloody stalemate, highlighting Russian ferocity. Frederick suffers a major setback at Hochkirch due to Austrian surprise attacks under Field Marshal Daun, losing commanders like Keith. The episode escalates with Kunersdorf, a Pyrrhic Prussian victory against Russo-Austrian forces, costing Frederick dearly in men and morale. It also touches on failed French invasion plans against Britain, naval defeats at Lagos and Quiberon Bay, and smaller clashes like Liegnitz and Torgau, where Prussian resilience shines despite attrition. The discussion emphasizes Frederick's tactical genius amid resource strain, coalition disunity, and the war's grinding toll, with vivid maps and bios of figures like Daun and Seydlitz enhancing the storytelling. Overall, it portrays a war of attrition testing Prussia's limits.   Check out the Video format at: https://youtu.be/5Quhfgs90OY

In the final episode, the pace picks up as we follow Austrian traveler Adolf Fischer on his 1898 journey through Japanese-ruled Taiwan. He heads into the dangerous hill country of central Taiwan and later gives us some memorably morose lines about gray, cholera-scarred Penghu. Fischer treks from Takao (Kaohsiung) across the southern mountains to the East Coast. Along the way, he has encounters with the Paiwan indigenous people involving fermented maize liquor and canned meat diplomacy, and yodeling. Eryk and John enjoy his often spicy opinions, sometimes agreeing (his observations on Buddhist missionaries) and at other times shaking their heads (he was so very wrong about Kaohsiung). We wrap up by looking at Fischer's ultimate verdict on Japan's colonial experiment, and what happened to him and to his remarkable museum legacy in Germany.

"I will say that QAnon was right and I was wrong." — Pepper CulpepperFrom Bannon and Trump to Summers, Gates, Blavatnik and Chomsky, the Epstein scandal has revealed elites of all ideological stripes behaving shamefully together. The Oxford political scientist Pepper Culpepper argues this is exactly the kind of corporate scandal that can save democracy—not despite its ugliness, but because of it. His new co-authored book, Billionaire Backlash, shows how scandals activate "latent opinion," bringing long-simmering public concerns to the surface and triggering society-wide demand for regulation. We discuss why Cambridge Analytica led to California privacy law, how Samsung's bribery scandal sparked Korea's Candlelight Protests, and why China's authoritarian approach to corporate malfeasance actually undermines trust.Culpepper, himself the Blavatnik Professor of Government at Oxford's Blavatnik School, acknowledges an uncomfortable truth. "I would say that QAnon was right," he admits, "and I was wrong." The specifics might have been fantasy, but the underlying suspicion about elite corruption was justified. And policy entrepreneurs—obsessive individuals who channel public outrage into actual legislation—matter more than we think. For Culpepper, billionaire backlash isn't a threat to democracy—it might actually be what saves it.About the GuestPepper Culpepper is Vice Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford. He is the co-author, with Taeku Lee of Harvard, of Billionaire Backlash: The Age of Corporate Scandal and How It Could Save Democracy (2026).ReferencesScandals discussed:●      The Epstein scandal revealed that elites across politics, finance, and academia were connected to Jeffrey Epstein's network of abuse—vindicating populist suspicions that "the system is broken."●      Cambridge Analytica (2018) exposed how Facebook leaked data on 90 million users, leading to the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act in the EU, and California's privacy regulations.●      The Samsung bribery scandal in South Korea led to the Candlelight Protests and President Park Geun-hye's resignation, demonstrating how corporate scandals can strengthen civil society.●      The 2008 Chinese milk scandal killed six infants due to melamine contamination; the government's cover-up during the Beijing Olympics destroyed public trust in domestic food safety.●      Volkswagen's Dieselgate scandal showed how companies cheat on regulations, bringing latent concerns about corporate behavior to the surface.Policy entrepreneurs mentioned:●      Carl Levin was a US Senator from Michigan who shepherded the Goldman Sachs hearings and contributed to the Dodd-Frank Act.●      Margrethe Vestager served as EU Competition Commissioner and pushed for the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act.●      Max Schrems is an Austrian privacy activist who, as a student, discovered Facebook retained his deleted messages and eventually brought down the US-EU data transfer agreement.●      Alastair Mactaggart is a California property developer who pushed through the state's privacy regulations when federal action proved impossible.●      Zhao Lianhai was a Chinese activist who tried to organize parents after the 2008 milk scandal; the government arrested and imprisoned him.Concepts discussed:●      Latent opinion refers to concerns people hold in the back of their minds that aren't front-of-mind until a scandal brings them to the surface.●      The Thermidor reference is to the French Revolutionary period when the radical Jacobins were overthrown—Culpepper suggests a controlled version might benefit democracy.●      The muckrakers were Progressive Era journalists whose exposés led to reforms like the Food and Drug Administration.Also mentioned:●      Michael Sandel is a Harvard political philosopher known for arguing that "there shouldn't be a price on everything."●      Patrick Radden Keefe wrote Empire of Pain, the definitive account of the Sackler family and the opioid epidemic.●      Lee Jae-yong is the heir apparent to Samsung, implicated in the bribery scandal.●      Parasite, Squid Game, and No Other Choice are Korean cultural works that critique the country's relationship with its conglomerates.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Zum 115. Geburtstag von Bruno Kreisky/ Honoring the 115th Birthday of Bruno KreiskyDer Mut zum Unvollendeten/ The Courage to Embrace the UnfinishedCorinna Milborn in conversation with Mohammad Anwar Esmat Sadat, Mkhaimar Abusada, Wolfgang Petritsch and Tobias LangBRUNO KREISKY AND THE MIDDLE EASTBUILDING DIPLOMACY AND RECONSTRUCTING PEACEPeace and security in the Middle East, that was Bruno Kreisky's conviction in the light of the challenges of the 1960s and 1970s, could not be reached without a Two-State-Solution, the negotiation between and coexistence of the State of Israel and Palestine. After decades of efforts to build relations, many chances and opportunities for such a solution have been missed or sabotaged on various sides.  We take the opportunity to look into the past as well as into the future!In a first part, we look at Kreisky's relations with Egypt, a crucialplayer when it comes to the Middle East's peace and security arrangements. Due to Kreisky's close relationship and friendship with Mohammad Anwar SADAT (1918-1981), he supported him on his path to the Camp David Agreement. Here, we explore “Sadat's Austrian road to Jerusalem” and what strategic interests Austria and Egypt do also share today in the Middle East. In a second part, the panel will look into Gaza and the Middle East after October 7. Despite a “Trump Deal Peace Plan”, perspectives for peace seem unclear. The challenges for overcoming trauma and re-building trust, a two-state solution and reconstruction are enormous. What role could Austria play in this multilevel re-construction process?Opening:Andreas Babler, Head of the Social Democratic Party of AustriaPanelists:Mohammad Anwar Esmat Sadat: Leader of the Reform and Development Party in Egypt and a founding member of the Arab Council for Regional Integration, nephew of former Egyptian President M.

Within two years, arguably the greatest military commander in British history, was sacked. Despite it being a tactical victory, malplaquet was a pyrrhic victory for Marlborough and his allied army.The Allies  lost nearly 21,000 men killed or wounded (almost a quarter of their army).The Dutch alone had lost over 8,000 men, whilst the British had lost nearly 1,800.The French army, on the other hand had suffered somewhere between 11,000 - 14,000 casualties.Support the show

On a trip to the Philippines in 2015, Pope Francis met a twelve-year-old girl who captured the hearts of people around the world. She tearfully asked the Pope why God allowed children to suffer? The young girl, Glyzelle Palomar, used to live her life on the streets. She was abandoned by her parents and left to make her own way as best she could. Glyzelle broke down in tears as she asked: “Why is God allowing something like this to happen, even to innocent children? And why are there so few helping us?” Pope Francis, visibly moved, responded, “Only when we are able to cry are we able to come close to respond to your question. There are some realities that you can only see through eyes that are cleansed by tears.” Today's Gospel reading about people rushing to their homes to gather the sick and bring them to Jesus tells us that the question of suffering is one of the most challenging ones of any time to address. We see physical suffering, people with medical conditions and serious diseases carrying great pain. We know there are people suffering from depression, schizophrenia, and other mental disorders. And then there are people spiritually suffering - lost, without hope, in despair - no faith, no meaning to their lives. People suffer all around us. No doubt, we ourselves at times need to embrace the mystery of suffering. Perhaps the most difficult suffering of all is to lose someone, to have someone we love; a spouse, a parent, a sibling, a close friend, or God forbid, a daughter or a son die.  There are no easy answers to suffering. One can read every theology book in the world and still be left with the question of suffering. There is a famous Austrian poet, he is dead now, Rainer Marie Rilke, who said this: “Sometimes we can only live with the questions, stay with them, mull them over in our mind. Perhaps slowly, over time, we gradually live into the answers.”  The people living on the shores of the Sea of Galilee knew where to look in trying to understand the mystery of suffering. They looked to this simple, loving man from Nazareth. They learned from Jesus that God is in every place of pain and suffering. God is there. God is present. God has not abandoned the poor and pain-filled people of the world.  But it is important to remember that our faith is not only a Good Friday faith. Good Friday leads to Easter Sunday. It leads to resurrection, to Christ, overcoming the bonds of death and being raised up by his Father in the Spirit, to life eternal with God the Father in heaven. We live that hope. The funeral Mass prayer sums it up: “There's comes a time when every tear shall be wiped away and we shall see you, our God, as you are and become like you, and be with you, face to face.Peace and Blessings, Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

Max Pearson presents a collection of this week's Witness History and Sporting Witness episodes from the BBC World Service. What does a tickle look like? That was the question eight-year-old Adam Hargreaves asked in 1971. He explains how it led his father Roger Hargreaves, to create the children's book series Mr Men. Our guest Professor Nina Christensen, head of the Centre for Children's Literature and Media at Aarhus University, on the wider history of children's literature. We hear a remarkable account from Captain Chris Fraser-Perry, who took part in the Jugroom Fort rescue mission, during the war in Afghanistan. Plus from Cuba, we learn about the Mariel boatlift of 1980 in which thousands of people left for the United States and in 2022, the controversial visit to Cuba by former US President Jimmy Carter. And the story behind the contamination of Austria's fine wine in 1985. Our Sporting Witness episode this week looks at the first sister-brother duo to win Alpine Ski World Cup races on the same day.

In Part 2, we continue in the footsteps of the cultured Austrian traveler Adolf Fischer on his 1898 journey in Japanese-ruled Taiwan. From the commercial enclave of Tōa-tiū-tiâⁿ (Dadaocheng), we cruise downriver to Tamsui (Danshui), meet the famed missionary George Mackay, hear warnings about rebels in the nearby hills, and solve a crocodile mystery. After overcoming Japanese suspicions that he might be a spy for the German Kaiser, Fischer heads south to Shinchiku (Hsinchu). Drawing on his 1900 book, “Wanderings Through Formosa,” we get sharp, sometimes surprising observations about the early years of Japanese rule. (The book was specially translated from into English for Formosa Files, and we enjoyed it so much that we had to make it a three-parter).

The Man Who Proved Meaning Is Stronger Than SufferingIn the darkest chapter of human history, when hope seemed like a luxury few could afford, one man discovered a truth so powerful that it would outlive the horrors around him.His name was Viktor Frankl.Frankl was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist. In 1942, he was arrested by the Nazis and sent to a concentration camp. Over the next several years, he endured four different camps, including Auschwitz. He lost his parents, his brother, and his pregnant wife. Everything he owned—his career, his manuscript, his freedom—was taken from him.By any external measure, his life had been stripped of meaning.But here's where the story turns.While imprisoned, Frankl noticed something remarkable.People were experiencing the same starvation, brutality, and despair—yet some survived psychologically, while others gave up long before their bodies failed.The difference wasn't strength.It wasn't intelligence.It wasn't luck.It was meaning.Frankl observed that prisoners who could anchor themselves to a future purpose—a loved one waiting for them, work they still hoped to complete, or a reason to endure one more day—were far more likely to survive. Meaning, he realized, was not a luxury. It was a survival tool.One night, freezing and exhausted, Frankl imagined himself standing in a lecture hall after the war, teaching students about the psychology of the concentration camps—explaining how humans can endure unimaginable suffering if they understand why they are suffering.That imagined future kept him alive.After the war, Frankl returned to Vienna. He rewrote the manuscript that had been taken from him in the camps and published a book that would go on to change millions of lives: Man's Search for Meaning. It has since sold over 16 million copies and is considered one of the most influential books of the 20th century.Frankl didn't claim suffering was good.He didn't romanticize pain.Instead, he offered this quiet, powerful truth:“Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the freedom to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.”He went on to develop logotherapy, a form of psychotherapy centered on helping people discover meaning in their lives—not by eliminating hardship, but by transforming it.Frankl lived to be 92 years old.The man who lost nearly everything proved something extraordinary:

In 1985, government scientists discovered anti-freeze in bottles of fine Austrian wine.

The first in a special three-part series, this is a Taiwan travel account never before told in English. Formosa Files has had Streifzüge durch Formosa (1900) translated into English. This travelogue, Wanderings Through Formosa, describes a journey through Japanese-ruled Taiwan in the spring of 1898 by Adolf Fischer, a cultured, sharp-tongued Austrian traveler. It offers a vivid outsider's view of the island less than three years after Japan took control. What he found here was quite different from the standard glossy images we usually associate with the Japanese colonial period. And we throw in a bonus mystery (plus solution) about the vanishing German consulate in Dadaocheng.

On this episode of Power and Market, Ryan, Connor, and Tho discuss the fallout from the release of the Epstein Files and what it means for how the masses view the elite.Don't forget, the Mises Institute's first event is coming up on February 21st in Oklahoma City.

He emphasizes the need for balance between cautious foresight and bold, sometimes controversial declarations about the future and shares his insights into the process of crafting meaningful predictions that resonate both with clients and broader audiences.Our conversation also touches on the intricacies of risk management, the responsibility of experts in shaping future narratives, and the psychology behind authoritative predictions.Key Takeaways Predictions in public relations are tools for building credibility and positioning organizations as thought leaders within their industries.

Send us a textCroissants: The Surprising History of France's Most Iconic PastryIn the first episode of Season Six of Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast, we're diving into the irresistible world of the croissant — one of the most iconic pastries in French cuisine and a beloved breakfast staple around the globe. With its golden crust, delicate flakes, and rich buttery layers, the croissant is instantly recognisable, but its story is far more complex than many people realise.This episode explores the croissant's surprising origins, tracing its roots back to Central Europe and the Austrian kipferl, long before it became a symbol of France. We unpack the myths, legends, and historical milestones that shaped its evolution — from crescent-shaped pastries linked to Vienna's past, to the cultural exchanges that helped bring the croissant into French baking tradition.You'll also learn how French bakers transformed the croissant into the light, laminated masterpiece we know today, using refined techniques, leavened dough, and layers of butter to create its signature texture. We explore the rise of viennoiserie in France, the impact of influential figures like August Zang, and how baking innovations — including new ovens and methods — changed Parisian pastry forever.Finally, we look at how the croissant became a cornerstone of French daily life, inspiring regional variations, spin-off pastries like pain au chocolat, and ongoing debates about shape, ingredients, and authenticity. Whether you're a passionate baker, a lover of French food, or simply someone who enjoys a perfect pastry with coffee, this episode reveals why the croissant remains one of the most delicious cultural icons in the world.Support the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

Dave kicks off another anything-goes Tangent Tuesday with a stack of updates: upcoming guests Paul Carmichael and Dennis (with Momofuku/Kabo context) and a correction on the “German” drop-off that turns out to be Austrian—complete with scarlet runner beans and pumpkin seed oil for the canonical salad. From there it's pure free-association cooking brain: the French galette des rois vs. other king-cake traditions, why grill marks are mostly a bad signal (and grill pans are worse), and Dave's long-running dream of a bar “piñata service” that doesn't involve handing drunk people a bat—now migrating toward a spring-loaded destruction machine. Quinn talks baguette iteration (including gelatin experiments), Dave dives deep on vintage Crisco lore and beta-carotene fry-color hacks, and the crew detours through oddball old cookbooks, “Japanese fruit cake” naming insanity, and a near-electrocution tale from rewiring a century-old Hamilton Beach mixer. The back half hits listener Q&A: milling/sifting guidance, lacto-ferment oxygen management, and circulator recommendations (with a pragmatic “watts + insulation matter more than marketing” take).

On the latest episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton explains why the modern discussion of the division of labor is distorted by bad theory and political incentives. Mark contrasts Adam Smith's view with the Austrian tradition—especially Mises's—where the division of labor is driven and continuously reorganized by entrepreneurial judgment under uncertainty, disciplined by profit and loss. Mark also shows why technocrats and social engineers love an entrepreneur-less story of specialization, why Marxists found support in Smith's labor-theory drift, and why the real gains from specialization depend on individual differences that markets harmonize through exchange.Enter the 2026 Stocks vs. Manure Prediction Contest at https://mises.org/form/stocks-vs-manure-2026See “The Division of Labor Is at the Very Core of Economic Growth” by Per Bylund in The Next Generation of Austrian Economics: Essays in Honor of Joseph T.

This week, Drusilla and Josh talk about the very rough Angst (1983.) From wiki: “Angst (English: "Fear") is a 1983 Austrian psychological horror thriller film directed by Gerald Kargl, who co-wrote the screenplay with cinematographer and editor Zbigniew Rybczyński. It follows a psychopath recently released from prison and is loosely based on real-life mass murderer Werner Kniesek. It was banned in many European countries on its release for its depictions of violence.[1] “Also discussed: Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, The Secret of Nimh, D&D, Ishtar, and more!NEXT WEEK: How to Get Ahead of Advertising (1989)Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/  

Greg Jenner is joined in the 18th century by historian Professor Katherine Astbury and comedian Jen Brister to learn about French queen Marie Antoinette.Born an Austrian princess, Marie Antoinette went on to be the last queen of France before the Revolution and the abolition of the monarchy. She is famous now for saying "let them eat cake", for her love of fashion, and her supposedly extravagant spending at a time when ordinary people in France were going hungry. But how true are any of these stories, and where did these myths about her originate?In this episode, we look at Marie Antoinette's Austrian childhood and overbearing mother, her marriage to Louis XVI and time as queen of France, and the hatred directed at her by the revolutionaries. Along the way we take in her involvement in politics, her love of the theatre, and her possible Swedish sweetheart.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Just kidding, but to say that her fame has rocketed since her first Enormocast over ten years ago is an understatement.
