  • Resumen

  • Why did kings and queens have spectators on their wedding night? Who had the very first boob job? And did our ancestors have their unmentionables pierced?


    Join historian, Kate Lister, Betwixt the Sheets as she unashamedly roots around the topics which seem to have been skipped in history class.


    Everything from landmark LGBTQ+ court cases, to political scandal, to downright bizarre medieval cures for impotence. The etymology of swear words, gender bias in medicine, and satanic panic and cults - there’s nothing off limits.


    She'll be bed-hopping around different time periods; from ancient civilisations, to the middle ages, to renaissance and early modern...right up to now.


    You’ll laugh, you’ll wince, and you’ll ask yourself how much has actually changed.


    So join Kate Betwixt the Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal & Society - a podcast from History Hit.

  • The Real Cleopatra

    The Real Cleopatra
    Aug 13 2024

    Cleopatra. One of the most famous people from history, and remembered for her beauty, power and scandalous love affairs. But how accurate is her legacy?


    Did you know she married not one, but two of her brothers? Or that she could speak eight languages? Or that she lived closer to the invention of the iPhone, than the construction of the pyramids (what?!).


    Egyptologist Sarah Parcak joins Kate to get to the bottom of who the REAL Cleopatra was.


    Mixer: Tomos Delargy. Producer: Stuart Beckwith. Senior Producer: Charlotte Long

  • The Curious History of Beds

    The Curious History of Beds
    Aug 9 2024

    Sex and beds have a long, interwoven history. Here on Betwixt we often cover sex history, but we haven’t done a deep dive into the history of where it’s often done… in bed.


    So today we have something a little different for you, here’s an episode all about the history of beds, and it’s a story that will take us from medieval France, to 17th century Hertfordshire and beyond.


    It’s an episode from our friends over at the Curious History of Your Home podcast, which you can follow here.


    Betwixt the Sheets will be back with its usual programming on Tuesday.

  • The Real Anne Boleyn: Sex, Scandal & Betrayal

    The Real Anne Boleyn: Sex, Scandal & Betrayal
    Aug 6 2024

    Anne Boleyn was smart, sophisticated and had SO much charisma.


    She kept Henry VIII waiting for SEVEN YEARS before they finally got together, and even then it was on her terms.


    So where did it all go wrong for Anne Boleyn? Were any of the wild accusations made against her true? And what do her last words tell us about her?


    Joining Kate today is the magnificent Tracy Borman, author of Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I: The Mother and Daughter Who Changed History, to help us uncover the real Anne Boleyn.


    This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.Voting is open for the Listener's Choice Award at the British Podcast Awards, so if you enjoy what we're doing, we'd love it if you took a quick follow this link and click on Betwixt the Sheets: https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/voting

Great Listen

Positive, smart, interesting, and just all around fun. She covers some heavy topics but in a lighter way and looking at things through intelligent eyes. Bringing on experts who are able to explain all we want to know in a logical and sympathetic way. I really love this podcast.
