We’re exploring the famous love story behind one of the seven modern wonders of the world -- The Taj Mahal. The relationship between Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal went beyond the typical polygamous marriage of royal courts at the time, and became a romance remembered for its fidelity, fertility (!), and tragedy.

From their first meeting at a royal bazaar in the Mughal Empire, to their devout marriage on the campaign trail, to its heartbreaking end that inspired one of the world’s most iconic monuments.

Join and listen as we discuss love, death, and polygamous marriages. And ask each other (and you) if polygamous marriages work? And if you would consider entering one?

You’re invited…to Mary-Kate and Sarkozy’s wedding party!

This week, we’re exploring the mysterious relationship between Mary-Kate Olsen, the child-actor turned fashion designer, and Olivier Sarkozy, the banker and half-brother of the French president.

The world had followed the Olsen twins since they were babies on Full House. Now all grown up, Mary-Kate dated (and married!) a man 17 years her senior. Mary-Kate and Sarkozy seemed to be from different worlds, leading people to wonder, “What do they even talk about?” We don’t judge, but we are curious, so let’s explore this under-the-radar relationship from the 2010s.
