The best podcasts for Those who love History & Regency Era Dramas

My name is Faith Jacobs and I’m an openly autistic author, podcaster, director and producer of several original projects, including Chaotic idiots. My podcasting background and start: When I tuned into fiction podcasts during the height of the pandemic days (March of 2020) I started first with a story called the two princes and then discovered Valence and Last Call At Bluebell cafe, and Far Meridian. I appreciated the change of pace from the void that was my life so, in honor or those stories, here’s a list containing the few that helped me and I hope they help you too. As much as my own stories, may help you to be kinder to yourself and to those around you. Faithfully Yours Mozart: the courtship is a brand new view of the famous composer, W.A. Mozart and the love of his life, Constanze Weber, a woman often scorned by historians and modern Mozart media alike. Unlike former projects, Faithfully Yours Mozart is determined to be the first of its kind that not only puts the forgotten world of disability at its helm but also allows for the subject matter of Constanze and Wolfgang’s romance to be treated with the respect and dignity it hasn’t been given in over 200 years. Many Mozart based films and movies, musicals and plays pass over the marriage as if it were a blip in Mozart’s life when, Constanze Weber is the whole reason we even have Mozart’s story to begin with. Without Constanze’s efforts to bring about the Mozart museum and school as she did With the help of Salzburg in the 1830’s, without conscious thought to be the first biographer of her husband’s life, no one would know the name that is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the wonder of Europe. This series is a love letter to the true woman left behind by history, Constanze Mozart, and her love to a man who we forget was more than his music. Lovingly dramatized by two Autistic leads, Faithfully yours Mozart is a project that tackles a love story That was most crucial to the very history of music as we know it. And I hope you’ll give it a listen.

Those whom do not study history are doomed to repeat it. Faithfully yours Mozart is a neurodivergent historical drama romance that aims to say, we, the Neurodivergents, have always been here. Disabilities are not a 21st century phenomenon, they are in fact a different neurological reality, another way that we as human beings are diverse in our everyday lives. It’s no different than saying one person wears glasses and the other uses contacts. Both have a need to help their vision and both do so in varying degrees. Neurodivergency is the same way. Just as no two snowflakes which fall from the sky are alike, Neurodivergence presents itself differently over the course of centuries and whereas we, the human race may not recognize it due to a lack of scientific knowledge and understanding, in one lifetime, in the next our society learns. This is why history is crucial to building a better future and overall better society. Faithfully yours Mozart is very much part of that and I hope the podcasts reccomended will make a difference in the long run as much as I want faithfully yours Mozart to do the same.

It is a series of Regency & history based podcasts which I hope those looking for something cozy this autumn, will find a joy in.
