The Black Dinner

This is an episode of the podcast "Is This the Norm?" hosted by three sisters — Lora, Rebecca, and Heather. Heather presents the history of the "Black Dinner," a 1440 assassination of two young Douglas clan brothers at Edinburgh Castle orchestrated by rival Scottish regents, with the sisters riffing on parallels to Game of Thrones' Red Wedding along the way. They close with a preview of their next episode on Egyptian royalty.
