Hi there, I’m Dr Kayla Jones, a historian and the person behind Regency Rumours, a YouTube channel where I make long form essay style videos on period dramas, history & historical fiction.
If you’ve ever finished a costume drama and immediately needed to talk about if its historically accurate, whether there was enough yearning or the look of the costumes, then you’re in the right place.
The Rumour Mill is the sister podcast and newsletter to Regency Rumours. It’s a podcast and newsletter where we can chat about upcoming releases, revisit older and more obscure period dramas and explore historical fiction. I’m planning on having a lovely mix of guests to the podcasts, articles on history deep dives that I didn’t have time for in my videos and a bit of sharing my journey of publishing my own historical fiction novel.
So whether you’re interested in a bit of swooning, social history, or the chance to argue about whether the book was better, pull up a chair in my little sitting room and we’ll get to some historical yapping!
Subscribe to come along, and I’ll see you in the Rumour Mill! 🩷
