About this listen
TikTok sensation Katie Kennedy, aka @TheHistoryGossip, serves up a delicious blend of fascinating, witty and salacious history tea for every day of the year.
With infectious wit and historical insight, The History Gossip brings you the mad, bad and dangerous tales from around the world. With entries for every day of the year, this is history … but not as you know it.
Equal parts fascinating and funny, Katie's unique brand of humour takes listeners on a romp through the history books and answers burning questions such as ‘Was Anne of Cleves a minger', ‘Did Mary Shelley lose her V-card on her mother's grave' and ‘Did George IV eat himself to death' and more.
What better way to start your day than find out what other people have done before? The History Gossip reveals the funny, strange and utterly juicy tidbits throughout world history, each with a modern twist of pop culture references and contemporary slang.
This is the ultimate blend of ‘On this day' history education and humour, making it the perfect gift or self-purchase for history lovers.

Joyous and Quirky
I listened to the whole book on a long car journey and it had me laughing out loud a few times. Just great fun. Would recommend.

Accent, humour and modern learning.
Amazing and hilarious at times, young people will connect and learn from this lady, I’ve always loved history and it’s so refreshing to hear/ read it done in such a way, looking forward to her future work.

So funny!
I love how it is written and how it still tells the story of what happened, it proves that history doesn’t have to be boring and that it is fun to learn! History is an amazing subject which is so important and if this book opens one person into history then it’s done its job!

Great book
I was really enjoying this until I got to October and then my cat suddenly passed away and I found I couldn't laugh after that
This author has done a brilliant job of making history accessible and fun. I hope she writes further books
One small point, when I was listening to the bit about Princess Diana, I couldn't understand what she said. I know she was referring to Dodi al-Fayed but no matter how many time I rewound with the volume up I couldn't understand what was being said

Best book ever
I loved every moment of this book, I learnt so much and laughed all the way through, these facts will stay in my mind forever. I apologise to my friends and family now as I offload all the facts I have learnt from this book

Very funny and informative
This young lady should have her own TV show! She is very funny, refreshing entertaining and a wealth of knowledge. Basically she is the new Stephen Fry.
