  • Résumé

  • 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 Bridgerton: Georgian Sex

      The REAL Bridgerton: Georgian Sex
      May 17 2024

      The long-awaited third season of Bridgerton is here! And with it, we all become obsessed with a particularly sexy version of Regency-era history.


      Today's episode is the first in our mini-series on the REAL Bridgerton. Across four episodes we'll uncover Georgian attitudes to drugs and alcohol, insights into the celebrities of the time, and a re-cap on the historical accuracies of the latest season.


      First and foremost, though, what was sex really like in Georgian England? How effective were the fashionable animal gut condoms? And what erotica were people enjoying?


      Today's guests are Catherine Curzon, Kate Stephenson, Julie Peakman and Katie Wignall.


      This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.

    • Medieval Torture & Execution

      Medieval Torture & Execution
      May 14 2024

      When you say ‘going medieval’ on someone, it brings up quite nasty connotations.


      But is this brutal suggestion a fair depiction of medieval times and their thoughts on torture and punishment? What are some of the more gruesome methods they employed? And why did Henry I give authorisation for his own granddaughter-in-law to be blinded?


      Joining Kate today is Matt Lewis, co-host of our sister podcast, Gone Medieval, to find out more.


      This episode was edited by Sophie Gee. The producer was Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.

    • Menopause: History, ‘Hysteria’ & Hormone Revolutions

      Menopause: History, ‘Hysteria’ & Hormone Revolutions
      May 10 2024

      When you look into the history of menopause it’s steeped in misogyny, fear and demonising women’s bodies.


      But what is the truth behind some of the popular menopause myths? How has it been understood (or misunderstood) throughout history? And how have post-menopausal women essential to human evolution?


      Joining Kate today is Dr. Jennifer Gunter, author of the Menopause Manifesto and gynaecology physician of 30+ years.


      You can also read more of Jen’s writing on her blog here: https://vajenda.substack.com/
