Step back in time with us in this captivating episode as we explore two intriguing historical phenomena: the Regency Era and the enigmatic tale of The Dancing Plague of 1518.

First, we dive into the elegance, scandal, and societal intricacies of the Regency Era, a captivating period nestled between the Georgian and Victorian eras. We unravel the layers of this captivating epoch, delving into its fashion, etiquette, and the emergence of the "Female Tattler" – a clandestine world of gossip and intrigue that thrived in the shadows of high society.

But our journey doesn't stop there. We then transport you to the streets of 16th-century Strasbourg, where a bizarre and inexplicable phenomenon gripped the town: The Dancing Plague of 1518.

We explore the theories behind this eerie event, from mass hysteria to religious fervor, unraveling the mystery that continues to baffle historians and scientists alike.
