We're back on the Marie Antoinette train, and in Season 7 Part 2 the topic is "Meanwhile, Back in France."
To explain the French royal court system that Marie Antoinette eventually joined, we're taking a look at notorious mistress Madame du Barry in a saga so iconic it can't be contained in one podcast episode.
Our guest this week is everyone's favourite TikTok royal commentator, Amanda Matta!

This used to be a Patreon-only bonus episode, but now everyone can hear it!

There was no way I could revisit the Cleopatra episode and score without getting Gina Berry's assistance! She was a guest on our epic Nefertiti and Hatshepsut episodes, and now she's here to talk all things Cleo. As ever, when the two of us get together, it will be at LEAST 2 hours of episode.
I recommend listening to the Cleopatra episode first before diving into this discussion, but you do you.
