In the late 19th Century nearly 200 American heiresses were sent across th Atlantic to marry members of British and European nobility, these wealthy young women's dowries could save entire estate, castle or even a Dukedom.

-Yes, for some reason James Caan appeared on a Fall Preview cast list for “Cliff Booth” along with his son. No, it didn’t occur to Adam that he was dead. (He is.)
-”The Family Guy” has the famous “It insists upon itself” joke – not “The Simpsons.”

214. Emanuela Orlandi - The Vatican Girl
Episode 214
Show notes
15 year old Emanuela Orlandi went to a music lesson in Rome, on one of the hottest days of the Summer, 1983. She is still to this day the only Vatican citizen to go missing, and this teenager's disappearance is one of the most baffling cases in Italian criminal history. As if ripped out of teh pages of a Dan Brown novel, there are so many twists, turns, shock revelations and red herrings in a story that swirls around the Sicilian Mafia, God's Banker, Avon cosmetics, a gangster's moll, a dungeon, an international assasin, prophecies, miracles, the KGB and even the Pope himself.
I hope you're ready for this one, it's the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi, the Vatican Girl.

Episode 206
Show notes
Eva Braun is a figure from history sometimes portrayed as a feather-brained ditz, and others as a master manipulator and powerful political player in the Third Reich. The thing about Eva Braun is that no-one really knew who she was until after the war ended and she was dead.
But who really was HItler's mistress and very very brief wife?

199. Inherited Wounds : Indigenous Boarding School System
Episode 199
Show notes
The United States of America is 250 years old..ish, but in becoming the USA, entire communities, nations and cultures were crushed beneath teh wheel of "progress." Indigenous people in North America were removed from their land, had their practices, knowledge and culture stripped from them. One of the major cogs in the assimilation machine was the Native American boarding school system. A system of abuse that caused trauma that affected generations, inherited wounds.
