About this listen

A world of high-stakes history, shimmering gemstones, and global extremes.

On today’s episode, we’ll be exploring: • "Who": A look at a pivotal 19th-century leader who stepped into the presidency under tragic circumstances and faced a historic legal battle. • "What": We go deep into the chemistry of color to find out what makes a certain gemstone glow red. No blue rubies! • "Where": We’re heading to the bottom of the map to visit the world’s southernmost capital, nestled right in the windy "Roaring Forties." • "When": We remember a year of profound loss in the music world and a devastating storm that impacted the U.S. East Coast. • Alphabet Challenge: Today’s letter is E, featuring a noblewoman whose life spanned from the glitter of the French Second Empire all the way into the post-World War I 20th century. Check out the Petie Kladstrup and Evelyne Resnick biography, The Last Empress of France, to learn more. Stay tuned to see if you can claim the title of trivia champion!
