She begins with the real-life parallels to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, citing the sociopolitical divisions in 16th-century Verona, and the potential inspirations for Juliet and Romeo. The podcast then explores the tragic romance of Abelard and Heloise, a philosopher and his student whose forbidden love remains palpable through their enduring letters. Lastly, it attempts to demystify the identity of Saint Valentine, digging into early records that suggest the saint might have been multiple people.
