Excuse Me, What? The most WTF moments in Queens

It’s March 2020. We’re recording from separate houses for the first time, no one can find toilet paper, time has lost all meaning, and we’re all just doing our best.

So naturally, we decided this was the perfect time to revisit some of the biggest “EXCUSE ME, WHAT?” moments from our first three years of Queens.

We’re talking Olga of Kyiv weaponizing birds, Boudica’s absolutely brutal revenge, Agrippina the Younger marrying her ACTUAL uncle, the murder of Mary Queen of Scots’ bestie David Rizzio, Catherine de Medici spying on her husband and his mistress through the floorboards, Elizabeth Báthory’s horrifying childhood, and one husband who took his dead wife on a tour of Europe.

Honestly, peak COVID content.

Come for the historical WTFs, stay for two people figuring out how the hell to record a podcast remotely.
