GESPONSERT
At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Apple Cider Vinegar yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .…

In this episode we pause the continuity of the crisis to take a look at how the events of 1936 affected members of the Royal family. Despite it having huge repercussions on their lives, Britain's premier pedigree were not major players in the crisis (apart from the King, of course). However, this is a ROYAL history podcast so we wanted to take a moment to look at events from the family's vantage point. In this episode, RHG founder Gareth Streeter and Royal commentator James Taylor discuss: Queen Mary, her background and reaction to the crisis The Duke and Duchess of York's fears as they prepare to assume power The beginnings of the Duchess of York's (later Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother) feud with Wallis Simpson The closeness between Edward VIII and Princess Mary, the Princess Royal The wayward Duke of Kent and how some thought he should be King The cool relationship between Henry, Duke of Gloucester and his eldest brother This episode also features comments by Elizabeth Basford, author of "Princess Mary: The First Modern Princess."…

When the story of the King's relationship with the twice-divorced Wallis Simpson broke in the British press, Edward VIII believed his abdication was inevitable. But for a brief moment on the 4th and 5th of December, it looked as if a flicker of public support might light a path for his survival. In the latest episode of "Royal Revolutions", RHG founder Gareth Streeter and Royal commentator James Taylor discuss: Wallis's tumultuous escape from Britain to France The motivations of the King's supporters The media reaction and hints of public support for the King Why Harry Enfield ruined a teenage Gareth's life back in the 90s Wallis's latest attempts to break it off with the King The King's planned broadcast appeal that never aired Baldwin's fears of the constitutional settlement being overturned Winston Churchill's outspoken role in the crisis Concerns about the legality of Wallis's divorce We are again joined by historian Adrian Phillips who helps us make sense of the so-called "King's Party".…

As Wallis Simpson awaits her divorce hearing, the Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, pleads with Edward VIII to change course. From that moment, the relationship between the King and Mrs Simpson becomes an official issue of government business and the event can truly be called a constitutional crisis.

As the events of 1936 heat up, the King abandons the traditional Balmoral summer for a pleasure cruise of the Balkans. The world media goes crazy for pictures of the King and Mrs Simpson. The pressure begins to get too much for Wallis. In this episode, Royal commentator James Taylor joins RHG founder, Gareth Streeter to discuss: Churchill's "failure" to tell the King and Wallis what they want to hear Edward's "sulky" attitude toward his duties Why someone, please, in the name of mercy, needs to think of the poor debutantes Whether Wallis was intelligent Observations of Edward and Wallis's behaviour on the Balkan trip, based on eye-witness testimony Wallis's attempt to break it all off The King abandoning his duties to collect Wallis from Aberdeen station Gareth also embarks on a rant about Edward acting like a rebel within the system, rather than the head of the system with real agency to make change if only he had the courage to confront.…

The second part in our series on the Abdication crisis of 1936. Edward VIII ascends the throne and immediately begins a subtle but determined campaign to position Wallis Simpson as his consort. But even without the dangers posed by Wallis, Edward soon begins to ruffle feathers. Among government, fears abound around the new King's reliability, capability and political instincts. This episode again sees Royal commentator James Taylor team up with RHG founder, Gareth Streeter to discuss the unfolding crisis. It also features a guest interview with Adrian Phillips, author of "The King who had to go". We discuss: The circumstances of Edward's ascension and his immediate decision to break protocol by watching his own proclamation with Wallis Concerns about the new King's reliability and work ethic The early intervention of Cosmo Lang and Edward's relationship with this seasoned Archbishop of Canterbury The politics of the 1930s and the circumstances that made Edward's German sympathies more difficult to manage A potential plot to assassinate the King? Wallis Simpson's first steps in divorcing her husband Ernest Unfortunately, there are a few moments in this episode where there is bit of feedback sound. RHG apologies for this but wants to reassure you that such distractions only crop up a few times and last for just a few seconds.…

This episode was originally part of the "Royal Revolutions" series, broadcast in December 2024. The love affair between Edward VIII and Mrs Simpson could never have been a truly private matter. But when their relationship began in 1934 few could have predicted that it would lead to Britain's most recent Royal Revolution. Royal commentator James Taylor once again joins RHG founder, Gareth Streeter. They discuss: - The upbringing and early life of Edward and Wallis - Life in the early twentieth century Royal family - George V and Queen Mary's parenting skills - The character, personality and limits of the dashing but dangerous Edward, Prince of Wales - The Prince's love affairs with Freda Dudley Ward and Thelma Furness - Wallis and Edward's meeting and early relationship - The King and Queen's reactions - Wallis and her husband Ernest's motivations for tangling with the Prince…

Today marks the paperback release of “Spare” – the tell all biography written by the Duke of Sussex.

In part 2, Royal commentator James Taylor and history writer Gareth Streeter discuss: The Netflix series and the background (as far as we understand it) of the deal The treatment of the Duchess of Sussex in aspects of the UK media and how this compares with the way the Princess of Wales is discussed The importance of source criticism in dealing with any media The book Spare, and why Gareth got too angry to finish it Harry’s bravery and honesty in being vulnerable about his mental health The book’s strengths and weaknesses…

A year ago, the world was rocked by the release of the “missing Princes project” interim findings. A new book and TV documentary on the “Princes in the Tower” followed hot on the heels. The epic Philippa Langley was the driving force behind all three. Okay, so it may have been a relatively niche portion of the world that was “rocked” by this release. But we Royal history geeks were curiously captivated. In this video, history writer Gareth Streeter and Royal commentator James Taylor discuss the books strengths and weaknesses. We cover: · The background and merits of the "missing Princes project" · The positives of the book and corresponding TV show · The problem with biases in historical research · Our big issues with the book's approach to source criticism · The opportunities for the future of the project · Our fears that the quest to prove Richard III’s innocence will undermine the genuine historical value of the project · Whether the bones supposedly belonging to Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York should be subject to DNA examinations Please note that this episode was recorded several months before broadcast. As such, some topical references will be out of date.…
