On Battle Royale, we pit all the Kings and Emperors of France (from Clovis to Napoleon III) in a deadly competition to determine who is the most majestic, fabulous and irresistable of them all, and in the process learn the history of the world's most culturally influential country. Each episode covers the life of a different king, followed by my co-host Eliza and I scoring them in a number of categories, and deciding whether or not we should send them to the Guillotine. The podcast is entirely researched, written and edited by myself, with Eliza and I co-managing our social media and marketing. Show less
