Door Key

I find myself drawn to the more social side of history than dates or battles. While I do think dates and battles are important, I find questions like ‘When did Catherine of Aragon realize she'd lost Henry VIII’s love to Anne Boleyn?’ or ‘Just what exactly was Aaron Burr's deal?’ to be what really fascinates me about history. This is the lens that I view history from on the Door Key Podcast (and the accompanying Substack newsletter) because I'm a dork with a deep love of history who wants to talk about it.

The final episode of the 2024 Spooktacular talks about the life of Harry Houdini. Houdini would rise from a challenging childhood to becoming a world-renowned escape artist and magician. This episode talks about his iconic acts, his marriage to Bess, and his role in debunking fraudulent mediums during the Spiritualism movement. This episode also talks about his rivalry with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Houdini’s death on Halloween in 1926, and the annual séances that are held in his memory.
