Surprise, bringing you a new episode a day early.
Two hundred thirty years ago today, on March 9, 1796, Napoleon and Josephine wed in a late, rushed, candlelit ceremony.
It's one of the most famous love stories in history. It's slightly misunderstood but fascinating nonetheless.
Listen to the story with a little extra history on another event that happened the same day in 1661.
