Today we introduce you to one of our favorite history podcasts, History Daily. And one of the reasons that we think you all will enjoy History Daily?s content is we share a common belief as they say that ?History is human.? History Daily finds the overlooked and often forgotten human stories behind the names and dates of ordinary history.  Which we love! Please enjoy these two fifteen minute History Daily episodes on historical figures for whom fashion and dress played somewhat of defining role in their lives? a couple of sassy lady pirates and then after the sponsor break, an episode about Marie Antoinette?s husband, King Louis XVI.
