Podcast
After spending time as a tour guide, I became frustrated by only being able to discuss Berlin and German history. I wanted to explore stories from around the world—because history everywhere is fascinating! This led me to launch the podcast, originally called “The History Buff,” now rebranded as the Ministry of History Podcast.
Sissi: The Reluctant Empress Elisabeth of Austria
On The History Buff's first co-hosted discussion, I am joined by friend, fellow history buff and half-Austrian Anna Morris. Listen to us talk about one of the most famous royals of European history: Empress Elisabeth of Austria (more commonly known as "Sissi"). Why is she so famous? Why do Austrians remember her so fondly? Follow us as we dive into her interesting and, ultimately, tragic life.
