You might enjoy Even the Royals, a podcast from Wondery that pulls back the curtain on royal families, past and present from all over the world, to show you the darker side of what it means to be royalty. Charles the Second was known as the Merry Monarch, but his childhood was nothing to laugh about. When his father, the king, was executed and the English monarchy was dissolved, Charles went from pampered Prince to fugitive on the run. During his teenage years, he discovers his two greatest talents – survival and seduction. But as Charles fights to restore the monarchy, he’ll find that his appetite for pleasure might derail his path to the throne.While you're listening, follow Even the Royals wherever you get your podcasts, or at wondery.fm/eventheroyals-legacy.

Joan of Arc | The Maid of Orleans | 1
Joan of Arc is an ordinary French girl, unbothered by the war waging between France and England. Then, in 1425, she starts hearing the voices of saints – and of God. They say that she will be the one to restore Charles the Dauphin to his rightful place on the French throne. Can this teenager be the saviour her country is so desperate for?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
From Wondery and Goalhanger Podcasts, Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan tell the wild stories of some of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived – and ask whether they have the rep they deserve. Should Nina Simone’s role in the civil rights movement be more celebrated than it is? When you find out what Picasso got up to in his studio, can you still admire his art? Was Napoleon a hero or a tyrant - or both? (And, while we’re at it, was he even short?) Legacy is the show that looks at big lives from the perspective of now – and doesn’t always like what it sees.
