Podcast appearances and mentions of Barbara Cartland

In our 100th episode, Annie gets Dave to watch a 1980s adaptation of a Barbara Cartland novel - yup, you read that right!   Contact us - willyoustillloveit@gmail.com   Many thanks, as ever, to Cambo for our theme music.

In 1997, a scandal rocked the world of romance: Janet Dailey, one of the most successful and prolific romance authors of all time, got caught plagiarizing the work of Nora Roberts, one of the other most successful and prolific romance authors of all time. Before the scandal, Janet Dailey was the queen of American romance. Born in small-town Iowa, married in Omaha, and settled in Ozarks, she was a down-to-earth, blue-jeaned rebuttal to the only romance author that outsold her in the 70s and 80s: Barbara Cartland. In 1997 the Internet was in its infancy, so public memory of this scandal is fragmented. This is going to be a two-part episode, and in part one we are covering Dailey's life before she fell from grace for plagiarism. Make no mistake, this is not just boring backstory: this episode is about fame, country music, violence, and one very controversial husband. Step into your boots and get out your fiddle, we're going to Branson.Support us on our Patreon!Visit our website for transcripts and show notes: reformedrakes.comFollow us on social media:Twitter: @reformedrakesInstagram: @reformedrakesBeth's TikTokChels' TikTokEmma's TikTokChels' SubstackEmma's SubstackThank you for listening!

O conde de Bracken acaba de voltar de uma visita à Síria, onde foi apresentado ao sheik Abu Hamid, o dono dos mais magníficos cavalos árabes que já viu; e relata todas as maravilhas da viagem ao seu bom amigo, o capitão Charles Kenwood, em seu clube na St. James's Street.

After the death of Edwina Mountbatten in 1960, Dickie still had another 19 years of living to do, and while he was single, he was in no way alone. He had romances with plenty of women in his later years, and according to many, he had male lovers - including, it is alleged, boys - as well. A mentor to Prince Charles, his advice to the young man may have contributed to what turned into the tragic marriage, divorce, and untimely death of Princess Diana, who was exactly the sort of woman that Dickie encouraged the playboy prince to settle down with. The men remained close through the end of Dickie's life, and Charles delivered the eulogy at both of Dickie's services in 1979. Dickie was clearly a charming older man who counted Shirley MacClaine, Barbara Cartland, Christina Ford, and Sacha Hamilton, Duchess of Abercorn, who was also his god daughter, among his paramours. Let's say it was all pretty complicated, but that would only be keeping with rest of his and Edwina's history. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

Voor liefhebbers van de historische romantiek van Catherine Cookson en Barbara Cartland. ‘De geur van wilde rozen', vol drama, spanning en liefde, is een opwindend boek dat tot de allerlaatste pagi... Uitgegeven door SAGA Egmont Spreker: Christel Schimmel

A little romance?What began as a fluff piece about an eccentric romance novelist turned into a snapshot of a century through the eyes of someone who lived it to the fullest.Meet Barbara Cartland: extravagant, exaggerated, and … pink. As author of 723 books, she remains the most prolific romance novelist of all time. If you've ever seen her, you won't likely forget her, dripping in jewels, layered in make up, clad in fuchsia, and riding in her classic white Rolls Royce.  We'll follow Barbara through the Great War, to 1920's London with the Bright Young Things, to writing, motherhood, political involvement, and World War II.  And she's just getting started, hitting the peak of her career in the 1980s, in her eighties. Along the way, we'll rub elbows, (well, maybe more than elbows) with movers and shakers of many decades.  For example, have you ever heard of Lord Beaverbrook? Also, you won't believe who joins the family in the 1970s!We wrap up with a game you can join in at home.  It's called Oh, Barbara.While we have little in common with Barbara, and share few of her opinions, we have to respect someone who called her own shots and refused to be sidelined as an octogenarian.  See our SHOW NOTES for photos, some quite rare, sources, and such.

You could think of her as someone who tries to preserve a fading world -- or to chronicle a changing one. Rakhshanda Jalil joins Amit Varma in episode 365 of The Seen and the Unseen to talk about literature, language and loss. (FOR FULL LINKED SHOW NOTES, GO TO SEENUNSEEN.IN.) Also check out: 1.

If you were to ask someone in the 20th century what a romance novelist looked like, they'd likely have visions of pink chiffon, bright blue eyeshadow, false eyelashes, and excessive costume jewelry thanks to one woman: Barbara Cartland, who was dubbed by the Romantic Times as the “Queen of Romance.” Cartland was larger than life, but like most outsized figures, the “self-publicizing juggernaut' was also very controversial. From the 1920s until her death in the year 2000 she wrote over 700 novels, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Strap in as our resident himbo takes Emma and Beth through the highs and lows of Cartland's life.

Season Six! How is this even possible!Season One gave us a full lAD deep dive (if you've never read Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark, general existential malaise is a really good reason to start), and Season Two gave us The Books That Blooded Us, the books that made us the romance readers we are. Season Three was during a pandemic, and celebrated that thing we were all desperate for—joy. Season Four introduced the Trailblazer episodes, where we featured interviews with the people who have built the romance house over the last fifty years. Season Five built on all of that, deep diving on books that are new and fabulous, old and transformative, and generally celebrating the vast and magnificent romance pool. Season six will do the same. We've got interstitials, trailblazers, read alongs and interviews planned, so head over to your favorite podcasting app and subscribe so you don't miss a minute. The season launches today with what we thing is an absolute banger—a trailblazer episode about Jackie Collins, legend, juggernaut, author and lady boss, who was gone too soon. We're so lucky to have had a chance to talk to Collins's daughters, Rory Green and Tiffany Lerman, who were immensely generous with their time and storytelling, to talk about their mother's life and work. We love this conversation, and are so grateful to Ms. Green and Ms. Lerman for their time. Our first read along of the season will be Laura Kinsale's Flowers from the Storm, available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo or from your local indie.If you want more Fated Mates in your life, you are welcome at our Patreon, which comes with an extremely busy and fun Discord community!

We talk stories, spaces, the landscape of Wales, the far-flung destinations that Julie has ventured to, how she once possibly helped to save a life (!), the impact of social class on authors' self-perceptions, and how important it is to show children that there are no limits to what they can achieve.

Med utgångspunkt i romantiska böcker och filmer analyseras fördomar och normbrytare på temat kärlek. Hur kommer det sig att kioskvältare i romance-genren inte ansetts vara fullvärdig litteratur, medan massproducerade deckare ingått i försäljningsstatistiken? Varför kallas böcker av författaren Jackie Collins för "tantsnusk"? Och vilka hinder fanns på vägen innan hbtqi-relationerna fick sin självklara plats bland kärlekshistorierna? Greta Garbo, James Bond och Barbara Cartland är några av alla stjärnor som avhandlas.

Journalist E. Jean Carroll hopped a ride on the Love Train with dozens of romance authors in 1983, hoping to discover "how to catch a man." But did she actually discover who women* in America were fantasizing about being?

Karen-Marie drømmer om at blive en Barbara Cartland type, der skriver kærlighedsromaner under pseudonymet Babette Trompette, og Mette har spurgt Google om, hvorfor vi mennesker bliver misundelige på hinanden. 

Klädd i rosa klänning och med hår som spunnet socker visste romantikromanernas drottning Barbara Cartland hur man skapade sig en stil som väckte uppmärksamhet och sålde miljontals böcker. Författaren Barbara Cartland hann skriva 723 böcker, varav majoriteten kan sorteras in i den omåttligt populära genre som kallas för romance. Hon var de romantiska kärlekshistoriernas obestridliga mästarinna. Men utöver sin litterära produktivitet så stack Barbara Cartland ut med sin extraordinära stil. Hon klädde sig i rosa, sminkade sig med blå ögonskugga, använde skokräm som mascara och hade livet genom samma voluminösa frisyr. I veckans program dissekerar vi Barbara Cartlands frisyr. Vi tittar också närmare på den både älskade och avskydda tv-genren "dejtingsåpan" och undersöker hur författare och litteratur marknadsförs idag. Veckans gäst är Cecilia Hagen, journalist och författare.

This episode features Eddy Tejada and Matthew Scott from Hot 4 U creating a vast swathe of mouthsounds all about setting up their food delivery business in the midst of the pandemic. They talk learning on the job, friendly accountants, eight hundred potato bears and cooking from the hip. They also tell all about how they really need to start writing things down and buy a calendar. Before they arrive the weather is hot, the TickyOff Boyz still can't agree on the future of Pidgin and Sam has parked in a peculiar carpark. Differing vibes for the respective TickyOff Brides this week too as Rosie Ramsden tucks into a healthy week and Abbie Herlihy reveals that she has never ever eaten a chilli con carne. All of the above plus, there's also more than enough time for Barbara Cartland to jump an egg shaped shark, Sam wonders on exactly what the Catholic Church's position is on sexual congress and they both create potentially the greatest (or most foul) method of omelette cookery you have ever heard. This is TickyOff, and if it aint broke, then it aint TickyOff. Check out Hot 4 U here: @hot4u_ldn This episode is sponsored by wine churchgoers dropwine.co.uk

This episode of TickyOff features chef, restaurateur, cookbook author and all round wonderful being of a human kind Ravinder Bhogal. Ravinder talks her initial breakthrough into the world of food, fighting for her restaurant site, supper clubs and pop ups and some dangerous geese in Kenya. She also gets into her celebration of immigrant foods, the mini economies that homesickness can create and some utterly life changing guava fruit. Before Ravinder arrives Sam shares a recipe for Big Tray Chicken, has been singing about carrots in the supermarket and has seen a bottomless pond. James meanwhile is very garlicky, reveals the aphrodisiacs of the ancient Greeks and learns all about French synth wizard Jean Michel Jarre. All of the above top drawer content plus Tom Hardy as a punchy Roman, Ross Kemp's podcast and another sensual instalment from Barbara Cartland. It's TickyOff. And that's all we have right now.

This episode of TickyOff features food writer and cookbook author Rachel Roddy Zooming in from Rome. Rachel has just had her first restaurant meal post-lockdown, explains all about a pet tortoise called Secret Agent and seemingly suggests that all Romans ever eat is tongue. Rachel also describes growing up in her Grandmother's pub, a delightful town in Sicily famous for its oil refinery and discusses the similarities between Roman and British cuisine. Before Rachel roams in from Rome, James has visited yet another weird woodland with his kids, bought a load of cheap Budweiser and coughed in a shop. Which people loved. Sam meanwhile has visited a post office and learned from Barbara Cartland that he really should start eating honey. There's also time for great beer-based scenes in movies, a briefly fashionable blue cheese and Rachel pretty much trolls The TickyOff Two by bringing up Magpie.

Happy Valentine's Day! This (bonus) episode is pretty much the opposite of the last one, as we go on an old-fashioned, romantic, and very silly playthrough of Barbara Cartland: A Romance Boardgame. This is a paragraph game based, as you might guess, on a few of Barbara Cartland's 700+ (!) romance novels. Since it's a paragraph game, there's a lot of reading and, well, none of us are actors or even audiobook narrators, so be prepared for a few rough patches. In our defense, the paragraphs in the game had a...lot...of ellipses in weird...places. Note: This game was published almost 35 years years ago, based on novels that were published 40+ years ago and set 100-200 years ago. The text contains some cultural insensitivity, a LOT of gender stereotyping, and at least one scene that today would be classified as sexual assault. The books and the game are products of their respective times, and while we can laugh about the old-fashioned ideas now, that certainly doesn't mean we approve or support that kind of behavior when there are any real people involved. We hope you understand. In case you're interested in checking out the source material (but beware spoilers!), the three stories we played through are based on: The Dangerous Dandy - Frank and Mike's storyline The Duchess Disappeared - Brian's storyline The Punishment of a Vixen - Jayson and Joe's storyline Also, here's the iTunes link for Barbara Cartland's album of love songs, and a recipe for Harira. (It'll make sense - well, maybe a tiny bit more sense - once you've heard the episode.) We'd love it if you'd give us a review on iTunes - it's one of the very best ways for us to find new listeners. If you have an opinion you'd like to share with us - and we know you do - please drop us a line via any (or all!) of the following methods: Website: https://www.ascentofboardgames.com/ Email: ascentofboardgames@gmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ascentboardgames/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ascentofgames Discord: http://discord.ascentofboardgames.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ascentofboardgames/ The Ascent of Board Games is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

This week, Max and Allison talk about two women who wrote their way into the history books. The first, a dame of the British empire, holds several Guinness World Record for her prolific number of published romantic works; the second, arguably the mother of an entire genre of literature, was known primarily during her lifetime as her husband's wife: Barbara Cartland and Mary Shelley. / Intro and Ad Music provided by BenSound.com / Logo Art by Lauren Cierzan / Join the Conversation! thebitcheryofhistory.com / Facebook / Twitter / Instagram / Max: @QuirkyTitle Allison: @AHPowell91 / The Team: Janette Danielson (@Neddie94) Sydney Tannenbaum (@sydneyxmastree) Jess Lee (@jessmlee)

Dame Barbara Cartland was best known for her historical romances and is thought to have sold hundreds of millions of books around the world. She was step-grandmother to Princess Diana and was at her most prolific in the 1970s and 80s when she appeared regularly on British television. Kirsty Reid has been listening to some of her interviews from the BBC archives and hearing what it was like to meet her in person from Joe McAleer, author of Call of the Atlantic: Jack London's Publishing Odyssey Overseas.Photo: Barbara Cartland, pictured in 1970 (Credit: BBC)
