SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER. Magical words that invoke long, sun-filled days with ample time to recharge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, recharging usually has a bit of an educational element (nerd alert, I know). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lately, I've been recharging with Rosetta Stone, and I have to say, I'm loving it. (Not sponsored, by the way). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I saw they're having a huge sale -- unlimited languages for *life* -- I knew I needed to pass it on! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get all the details at Vocabbett! (link in bio!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you’ve seen The Durrells in Corfu, you’ll u

If you’ve seen The Durrells in Corfu, you’ll undoubtedly remember the slightly dotty daughter in the series, Margo.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I finished the show (a slightly heartbreaking moment – I hope they release a new season in the future!), I was exceptionally curious about what happened next for the family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The show offers a fictionalized account of the Durrells’ lives, but the characters were based on real people. To think of them in the clutches of World War II…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For episode 75 of the Vocabbett podcast, I share more about the remarkable life of Margo Durrell.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We’ve all heard of Cleopatra, but how many people know she had a little sister — and a pretty remarkable one at that?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Arsinoe IV was about ten years younger than Cleopatra, but my guess is that, had their ages been reversed, we’d all know Arsinoe and it would be, “Cleopatra who?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At around 12 years old, she was commanding an army and outwitting Julius Caesar!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Listen to episode 74 of the Vocabbett podcast to learn all about her. Simply search "Vocabbett" in your favorite podcast player, or head to the link in bio!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And as promised, here is the episode of “Drunk History” about Arsinoe for those who want to watch! 👇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
https://youtu.be/5ab4rYDR0yY⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I said it in the podcast, but I’ll say it again here: there is a *lot* of profanity in this video!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s hilarious if you don’t mind that sort of thing, but there are about 1,000 swear words in 10 minutes and some PG-13-level vulgarity. Consider yourself warned!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Until next time!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When most of us think of suffragettes (a.k.a. women who fought for the right to vote), we think of Susan B. Anthony or Emmeline Pankhurst.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We should, however, also be thinking about the extraordinary Nazek al-Abid!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the latest installment of our “forgotten women” mini-series, we explore the story of this remarkable woman. Exiled countless times for voicing (and acting upon) her beliefs, she never stopped fighting.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get the whole story in episode 73 of the Vocabbett podcast!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(By the way, because her name is transliterated from Arabic, it’s sometimes spelled “Naziq” or “Nazik.” None are incorrect; I just went with what was on the Syrian stamp!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“18th-century heiress-turned-pirate” may sound

“18th-century heiress-turned-pirate” may sound like the tagline of a cheesy romance novel, but remarkably, it’s a fairly accurate description of the indomitable Anne Bonny!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few episodes into our “Forgotten Women” mini-series — where I sneakily boost your vocabulary by sharing stories you probably didn’t learn about in school — we’re shedding light on one of the most famous female pirates from the “Golden Age” of piracy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s a story you won’t want to miss! You can listen for free on your favorite podcast player (just search "Vocabbett"), or head to the link in bio!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It's quite violent, so make sure to ask your parents before watching, but I must say...it taught me a lot!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aside from learning more about medieval England, I found that I loved Aethelflaed's storyline from season 2 so much, I needed to know what happened to her later. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tune in to episode 71 of the Vocabbett podcast to learn about the *other* British warrior queen! (When you hear that phrase, most people tend to think of Boudica). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
