Description

Windsors & Losers is back! This season is about Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson, who is perhaps the most maligned modern royal. But in 1986 when Fergie married into the Windsor clan, she was hailed as the future of the monarchy: a confident, smiling, and up-for-anything country lass. She was just the sort to endear herself to the Queen — and the tabloids! But of course, the party didn't last long...In episode one of this season — which we are calling "Finding Fergie" —  Eva and Allie go back to Fergie's formative years and dive into her seemingly cookie-cutter country upbringing (complete with ponies), her cad-ish and clueless polo playing dad, and her beautiful mother, who bolted from their home, and England, to marry an Argentine hunk.Editors' note: This episode was recorded before recent breaking royal news, including King Charles's cancer diagnosis. This episode was hosted and produced by Eva Wolchover and Allie Merriam. It was mixed by Kristin Mueller, with art by Tom Grillo.

Britain's royal family generates controversial headlines each and every day, but in our unhumble opinion, the most interesting tales are those buried in the footnotes. Hosts Eva and Allie are excavators of bygone scandals and peculiar details about the Windsors. For example, did you know that King Charles runs a bed and breakfast in Romania? Or that he's been building his own real town for more than 30 years? Windsors & Losers is the podcast that tells you a curiously overlooked story about the British royal family in each episode.
