The People's Epic

This podcast examines life. Exploring and celebrating individuals who have made the most of their time on this planet. The creators, adventurers and down right kick ass souls. We leave room for the good, the bad and the not so glamourous parts of life. As well as the four-legged and fictional. We will learn from those who have done it before us and see what gems we can glean from their stories.

The People's Epic

Lady Hester Stanhope

July 17, 2023 • Christopher Smith, Hannah Pniewski • Season 2 • Episode 21

She has been called an angel, even a wise oracle. Some might have even called her a tall glass of water but most would know her as the Queen of the Desert. She explored incredible territories, searched for treasure, made peace tidings with warring countries and even live in a monastery at the top of a hill. She absolutely set her own path and marched to the beat of her own drum. Even Lord Byron had choice words about her.
