Bad ElizabethBad Elizabeths throughout history Author: Jett Road Studios
Jett Road Studios presents "Bad Elizabeth" a comedic true crime podcast hosted by friends and former The Daily Show with Jon Stewart office mates, Gideon Evans and Kathy Egan-Taylor. The premise is as simple as it sounds - each episode explores the story of an Elizabeth (or any derivation of that name) who is notorious; be they a murderer, a fraudster, or just a complete a-hole. These women span both past and present, in pop culture, and world history. Gideon & Kathy guide you through these sordid and outrageous tales breezily, as if you were a guest at a fun cocktail party. Season 1 Elizabeths profiled include famed axe-wielder Lizzie Borden, imprisoned Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes, the ruthless Queen Elizabeth I, and the bloodthirsty Hungarian Countess, Elizabeth Bathory. Gideon and Kathy explore the misdeeds of the Elizabeths in question, and determine whether they deserve to be called "bad". Each episode also features a special guest, be it an expert, actor, author, or an actual living and breathing Elizabeth (a good one). Evans and Egan-Taylor dont harbor any resentment against Elizabeths - many of whom they hope to woo as listeners - however, there are a lot of them out there who are objectively shitty (we all know at least one).

Bad Elizabeth - Queen Isabella of Castile with Julie Klausner
Episode 11
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026
Bad Elizabeth co-hosts Kathy Egan-Taylor and Gideon Evans look into the life of Queen Isabella of Castile, known to many as Queen Isabel of Spain. And, yes, "Isabel/Isabella" is a legit variation of the name Elizabeth.The show is as much fun as you can have while also discussing some very dark subjects including The Spanish Inquisition, Torture, and Colonization. If you don't laugh you cry, right?Kathy and Gideon talk about how Isabel and her husband Ferdinand had an equal partnership in ruling the land that would become Spain. And we are joined by special guest, writer, actress, and expert podcaster Julie Klausner. Julie weighs in on Isabella, and advises us on the rules of podcasting with an equal co-host (apparently we are allowed to cut one another off - it just means we're excited).We also talk to Julie about her amazing career. Along with hosting the podcasts How was Your Week? and Double Threat (with Tom Sharpling) she also created, wrote and produced the very funny Hulu series Difficult People. We also discuss Julie's love of musical theater, which culminated with her work on the Broadway send-up Schmigadoon. Apparently there was a third season of the Apple TV series that was written, but never filmed. Learn all about Julie's plan to "Free Schmigadoon Season 3" in her interview.----------------------------------------Jett Road Studios - Website - YouTube - Instagram - SubstackBad Elizabeth - Instagram - YouTube - Substack----------------------------------------SOURCES:Isabella of CastileEurope's First Great QueenGiles Tremletthttps://a.co/d/06E9hrh2Isabella of Castile part oneThe History Chickshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/isabella-of-castile-part-1/id415983183?i=1000446257098Isabella of Castile part twoThe History Chickshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/isabella-of-castile-part-2/id415983183?i=1000447312094How Was Your Week? with Julie Klausnerhttps://www.patreon.com/cw/HowWasYourWeekDouble Threat with Julie Klausner and Tom Scharplinghttps://www.patreon.com/cw/DoubleThreatPodSchmigadoon!https://tv.apple.com/us/show/schmigadoon/umc.cmc.1tqmf2znhr4oui4vo69ircyui?ctx_brand=tvs.sbd.4000Difficult Peoplehttps://www.hulu.com/series/d865868f-0a63-4595-b48d-d651e7f67f7b
