Divorced, beheaded, died. Queen Jane Seymour has entered the Tudor chat. Today we cover the third (and favorite?) wife of Henry VIII of England. Plain Jane is often overlooked and assumed to be a less interesting woman that Henry's other queens. (I mean, really tho. Who looks all that interesting when compared to Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn?)Was she as boring as everyone thinks or just like, really smart? How do you think she felt when her predecessor lost her head? Did she really feel as loved as Henry claimed he loved her after she was gone?Today's cocktail is a new twist on the Old Fashion (because maybe Jane was a little old fashioned)!

Marie Laveau was the famous New Orleans Voodoo queen, but she's probably not anything like you think! The first person in her family to be born free, she lived in the highly integrated (but still pretty racist) New Orleans society. As a young mother, Marie started doing hair to make a living and, just like in American Horror Story Coven (the only thing that show got right about our girl), she earned a reputation from there as a mystic.But it's also possible that she was just good at listening as the rich, white women gossiped.Join us as we drink a rum based cocktail (called... you guessed it! The voodoo queen) and get to know this mystical sometimes mythical woman!Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.
