Join sex historian Kate Lister on Betwixt the Sheets as she gets intimate with the stories that would make your history teacher blush.
What were the Victorians really like behind closed (bedroom) doors? How did the Black Death favour women in medieval England? And what was Caesar like in the sack?
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.

Rome didn't have an abrupt end, but this episode sure did. in mid sentence no less. Kate ! it's Coitus Interruptus in podcast form.
Britney Spears? Let me introduce you to Brooke Shields.
incredibly annoying host
oh I loved this, I honestly hadn't ever really thought about the the possibility of a red light district in Dublin, maybe because you always associate the Ireland post Civil-War but definitely post Easter Rebellion with very strong Catholic values and maybe I'm influenced by living in the North but almost strict adherence to religious morals. Found a new book to read
Yeah, like, sort of, yeah, like, sort of, yeah like, sort of, whatever Jeez Louis
That little "...crossfit?" is just top tier.
It seems in the UK, you still treat autistic people as mad and lock them up.
Very interesting, but the guest historian gives a caveat at one point that she's talking about the "global north". But she wasn't talking about North America, Asiatic countries, Africa, Middle East, etc. She should be more exacting and less Eurocentric.
There is no village called 'Pendle'. It's an area, around Pendle Hill. You can't even get that fact correct.
The Pendle Witch trials. There is no village called Pendle, its the name of the area that surrounds Pendle Hill
I absolutely adore that Parcak & Egyptologists hate Octavian. I have always hated him and been puzzled that classicists see him a Great Man. 😁
Another interesting guest with the annoying habit of starting off a sentence with decent volume and force and then the words slowly lessen in volume to end in a murmur. Are they running out of oxygen?
I love this podcast. I'm a RN in the US.....you would not believe that some nurses, both male and female, who don't know what the clitoris is and what it's for. I've assisted in putting in urinary catheters with these nurses who thought women pee through the clitoris. 🤦 I've had to educate them.
Disappointed in the lack of the word women. People don't have periods, go through the menopause, women do. Women are only mentioned when comparing to men.
Kate....you are a breath of fresh air x
I just love this podcast. I love Kate, I love the topics, and I love the scholarship. All good things.

thank you, once again, for a super podcast 👏
Awesome episode! All of the bizarre, arrogant stuff men invented about our genitalia made me reflect on how learning about women's history & feminism has been particularly helpful for my knowledge/appreciation of my body/sexuality, but studying feminism had the opposite effect when it comes to men. Now that Utunderstand the way trad. masculinity works within the patriarchal hierarchy, I can't stop seeing how much that men do/say goes back to their fear of women and all things feminine.
