40. Sorrows, Prayers, and Enduring Love - Queen Charlotte (Special Episode)
In this very special episode, Adele, Kate and special guest host Maxine Beneba Clarke take on the whole Queen Charlotte mini-series in one wide-ranging conversation. There are arrivals and arguments, families and fortunes, a great experiment, dual timelines, blooming gardens, and the all-consuming important task of begetting an heir.
