| 5/28/26 | S3 Ep7: The 17th Century Relationship Advice Column | What if I told you first popular advice column was published in the 1690s? “The Athenian Mercury” followed a Q&A format, which dealt with issues from the fields of philosophy, physics, religion, and interpersonal relationships, which are the focus of today’s episode. _________________ Check out my Patreon! https://patreon.com/textory | 28m 30s | ||||||
| 5/14/26 | S3 Ep6: How To Woo: Courting in The 1920s | Should a potential 1920s candidate for a wife be "untouched”? Not at all, let her use life! At least that was the opinion of Clement Wood, the author of today’s text - “The Art of Courtship” from 1926. Surprisingly bold for the era, Wood’s tips and tricks on “wooing” the opposite sex are the focus of today’s episode.

| 4/30/26 | S3 Ep5: Strawberries, Mermaids and Revenge | Are women good at poetry? Can they even write it? These were probably serious questions people in the past were asking. In today’s episode we have an answer that is a loud and clear “YES”, as we read works of female English, Scotch and Irish women throughout 17th-19th centuries. _________________ Check out my Patreon! https://patreon.com/textory | 28m 04s | ||||||
| 4/16/26 | S3 Ep4: Filthy Matters. A Renaissance Guide to Good Manners | We might imagine Renaissance Italy as a place of innovation and art, but the day to day reality was plagued by disgusting behaviors. Today we're reading a surprisingly foul 16th century manual on being a well-behaved person. _________________ Check out my Patreon! https://patreon.com/textory | 28m 59s | ||||||
| 4/2/26 | S3 Ep3: Jane Austen's Situationship | Tom Lefroy is often pictured as Jane Austen’s true love that forever ruined her views on marriage. But do her own writings suggest it was mostly... well, a situationship? Find out in today’s episode! _________________ Check out my Patreon! https://patreon.com/textory | 33m 13s | ||||||
| 3/19/26 | S3 Ep2: Eaten Away - Observations on The Venereal Disease, 1686 | Rotting flesh, deformed bones, disappearing noses... Old medicine didn’t have much to offer for those suffering from the most horrific diseases - like syphilis - but some attempted ailing the sick. In today’s episode we’re reading “Observations on the Venereal Disease” from 1686. _________________ Check out my Patreon! https://patreon.com/textory | 26m 36s | ||||||
| 3/6/26 | S3 Ep1: How To Be a Victorian Servant | From never-ending list of tasks and duties to possibly being mistreated, domestic service in the Victorian era sounds like absolute hell. And yet, for many women, it was a dream job. Today we’re reading “Instructions in household matters: or, The young girl's guide to domestic service” from 1845, which details how to best prepare for that sort of work.

| 12/11/25 | S2 Ep20: Women War Workers | Working nights? Working from home? Lunch breaks? These were some of the very modern-sounding questions working women were asking during WW1.

| 10/23/25 | S2 Ep17: Buster Keaton, The Exclusive Property of MGM | Famous for his dead-pan comedy style, Buster Keaton was one the kings of slapstick comedy.

In today’s episode, we’re reading Keaton’s memoir “My Wonderful World of Slapstick”. ________________ If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/textory | 35m 22s | ||||||
| 10/9/25 | S2 Ep16: The Private (?) Life of Marie Antoinette | There is so much myth and speculation around who Marie Antoinette was as a person, that it’s really helpful to have historical texts from the era – like today’s “Memoirs of Madame Campan” - of people that really knew her. But how reliable are her observations? ________________ If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/textory | 41m 00s | ||||||
| 9/25/25 | S2 Ep15: The Mass Female Protest of Ancient Rome | Probably the farthest we’ve ever gone in our podcast time machine – today we’re in ancient Rome, in a crowd of very upset women, as described by Livy in “History of Rome”. ________________ If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/textory | 35m 17s | ||||||
| 9/4/25 | S2 Ep14: I’d Rather Drown Than Submit To a Man | A feminist – bordering on misandrist – text from 1592? Written by a woman? Count me in!

| 8/21/25 | S2 Ep13: The OG Edwardian Cat Lady | While owning cats as pets goes back to antiquity and beyond, the existence of self-proclaimed “cat people” is a result of the popularization of the hobby in the 19th and 20th centuries.

| 8/7/25 | S2 Ep12: The Victorian Anti-Rizz Guide | In today’s episode we’re reading a rulebook on how to be an absolutely insufferable Victorian f*ckboy, by none other than the courtesan and dancer Lola Montez.

| 7/24/25 | S2 Ep11: Woman's Thoughts on Women | Not all women involved with the feminist movement were necessarily radical.

| 6/26/25 | S2 Ep9: The Importance of an Ankle | We all know about Victorian obsession with ankles.

| 6/12/25 | S2 Ep8: A Man You Should Not Marry | In the modern dating climate, we sometimes wish relationships came with a manual. In the 1920s, ladies could use one, written by the author of the previous episode’s “A Woman You Should Not Marry”. How does it compare? Is Reinhold Gerling, to quote Mr Darcy, equally “severe upon his own sex”? ________________ If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/textory | 31m 34s | ||||||
| 5/29/25 | S2 Ep7: See Him Not, Hear Not From Him | At the end of the 18th century, it was not easy to restore one’s reputation as a seduced woman and a single mother. But the author of the “Advice To Unmarried Women” from 1791, the text we’re focusing on in this episode, believed it’s possible. ________________ If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/textory | 29m 03s | ||||||

| 5/1/25 | S2 Ep5: It’s Hard To Be Faithful To a Boy You Never Hear From | Getting separated with your husband after 7 months is not a typical problem for a 17-year-old... Unless you lived in the 50s! In this episode we’re looking at relationship troubles that teenagers dealt with and the advice that was given to them in the “Boy Loves Girl” comic magazine. ________________ If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/textory | 50m 53s | ||||||
| 4/17/25 | S2 Ep4: A Woman You Should Not Marry | Choosing a marriage partner is no easy feat, even less so when it’s the 1920s and divorces are still uncommon. Unsure gentlemen could have used guidebooks like the one we’re reading in this episode - “A Woman You Should Not Marry” by Reinhold Gerling.
