I find myself drawn to the more social side of history than dates or battles. While I do think dates and battles are important, I find questions like ‘When did Catherine of Aragon realize she'd lost Henry VIII’s love to Anne Boleyn?’ or ‘Just what exactly was Aaron Burr's deal?’ to be what really fascinates me about history. This is the lens that I view history from on the Door Key Podcast (and the accompanying Substack newsletter) because I'm a dork with a deep love of history who wants to talk about it.

Game of Thrones is a wild story, based on the books written by George R.R. Martin.
Here are some of the real-life historical events and people that were used as inspiration, which a lot of times were just as, if not even more wild, than the events in the books and show.

This episode is about Napoleon.
I'm joined by military historian Michael Stroud, and we discuss the movie that's out right now about Napoleon, as well as the real historical figure.
During our conversation, Michael recommends two books about Napoleon. Those two books are Napoleon by Andrew Roberts and The Campaigns of Napoleon by David G. Chandler.
