You may not have heard of America's ninth Vice President, Richard Mentor Johnson (he served one term under Martin Van Buren). And you almost certainly have not heard of his enslaved Black wife, Julia Chinn. Until now!! Everything we know about Julia is thanks to the decade of research Amrita Chakrabarti Myers dedicated to piecing her story together. Amrita joins us this week to discuss Julia's story and what it means to the broader understanding of slavery in American history.

Our friend Gina Berry is back for part two of our Ancient Rome discussion! Last time, we discussed women's roles in the era. Now, it's time to learn how Empress Livia worked within those confines to live a legendary life. Did she really murder as many people as I, Claudius (and other portrayals) made it seem?

“Careful back there…” Generally speaking, an artist's DEBUT ALBUM will often be quite good, while their SOPHOMORE ALBUM, in contrast, will often be far more advanced, sophisticated, and light years better than the first, in terms of song writing and overall production. While this is more often than not the rule, there are some notable exceptions. As with asking a parent with 2 kids “which one do you love more?”, sometimes the answer is obvious, and other times it's “not even close”. And in the instances where dissenting opinions clashed, the resulting debate may have impacted the feelings of others “forevermore”. It's time to “go get your mom” and bear witness to some “Gonz Bozonders” as we discuss the blockbuster movie magic behind “Shark Week” and prepare to “show no Morrissey” with regard to “butt scissoring” when you JOIN US as we try to determine whether various metal artist's second albums are BETTER OR WORSE than their first.

Special guest Allison Epstein joins us, because Napoleon Bonaparte comes up, and if Napoleon has no haters that because both Germaine and Allison are dead. — Preorder info for Ann's upcoming book, Rebel of the Regency! — RSVP for the Vulgar History in-person meet-up in Toronto! — Get 15% off all the gorgeous jewellery and accessories at common.era.com/vulgar or go to commonera.com and use code VULGAR at checkout — Get Vulgar History merch at vulgarhistory.com/store (best for US shipping) and vulgarhistory.redbubble.com (better for international shipping) — Support Vulgar History on Patreon — Vulgar History is an affiliate of Bookshop.org, which means that a small percentage of any books you click through and purchase will come back to Vulgar History as a commission.

The Johannesburg Labour Court recently upheld the dismissal of a mining operator who used vulgar language against someone at a safety meeting. Is there allowance for vulgar language in the South African workplace given that freedom of expression is a constitutional right enshrined in Section 16 of the Bill of Rights, as long as it isn’t hate speech, propaganda for war, or incitement to imminent violence?

We've reached a point in our French Revolution discussion where we can no longer tell the story through the lives of women, because women were excluded from leadership roles.

Last year, we dropped this bonus episode talking with Kit Heyam about the horny teen trans Roman Emperor Elagabalus. It fits so well in this month's Pride specials, the time felt right for a rerelease! After all, the French Revolution crowd were obsessed with ancient Rome and this story is a good reminder that the Romans were just as chaotic as anyone else in any other era.

A hospital-room twerking video from Meghan Markle has reignited criticism from royal watchers, commentators, and tabloid columnists alike. Sarah Vine calls it “desperate,” Richard Eden says it looks AI-generated, and Megyn Kelly flat-out declares, “We don't like you.” Even Charlotte Griffiths weighed in: “Harry's got rhythm, surprisingly.” From accusations of hypocrisy to questions about their HRH status, we break down the outrage, the laughs, and the few who came to Meghan's defense.

Dangerous Liaisons (1988) is a movie based on a play based on Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's novel from 1782. What does this have to do with the French Revolution? Lots, including that Marie Antoinette herself owned a copy of this novel. I'm joined by Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times movie reviewer and co-host of Unspooled to talk about this movie and also the pros and cons of how movies are the way many people learn about history.

On Day 10 of Karen Read's retrial, the courtroom focused on the emotional and forensic evidence surrounding the death of Boston police officer John O'Keefe. Massachusetts State Police Trooper Nicholas Guarino testified about a series of voicemails left by Read on the night of January 29, 2022. In these messages, Read expressed anger and distress over O'Keefe's absence, accusing him of infidelity and using explicit language. Notably, her phone connected to O'Keefe's home Wi-Fi at 12:36 a.m., indicating she was at his residence around that time. The final voicemail, left at 6:03 a.m., coincided with the discovery of O'Keefe's body, capturing background commotion as Read and others found him in the snow outside a Canton home .The day also featured testimony from retired Canton Police Lieutenant Paul Gallagher, who discussed the unconventional evidence collection methods used at the scene, including the use of a leaf blower and plastic cups to gather potential blood evidence. State Police Lieutenant Kevin O'Hara described the challenging conditions during the search for evidence, noting that six or seven pieces of taillight were found near where O'Keefe's body was discovered. The defense questioned the thoroughness of the investigation, highlighting the lack of crime scene tape and the decision not to search the interior of the home where O'Keefe was last seen alive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Karen Read made more than 50 unanswered calls to John O'Keefe | Fox News
