About this listen
In this and the next two episodes of Coffee Pot Conversations, I take a shallow dive through the reign of King Louis XIV - the Sun King - without pretending to be a historian, while still treating history with the respect it demands.
Rather than racing through dates, this is an attempt to understand why Louis XIV looms so large over French history, Parisian identity and European power politics - and how his reign shaped everything from war and religion to art, architecture and daily life.
This is Louis XIV not as myth, but as mechanism.
Coffee Pot Conversations is a slow, reflective podcast about Paris, history, culture, and the unexpected connections that appear when you follow curiosity rather than chronology.
It is intentionally non-academic, but never casual with facts.
