A quick note about our show.

We do a lot of research for our stories, but we also aren't your boring high school history class,

so some details and scenes are dramatized.

This episode contains a brief discussion of suicide that some listeners may find

distressing. There's also some swearing and a shaman who once said he's half space lizard.

Please be advised. So, Eresha, you know I love psychics. I do know. I've been seeing them for a long time. You also know that a psychic even predicted I would host even the rich. Right. And I know you've kind of been thinking about seeing one for a while. Like you've thought about dabbling. Where are you on that? Well, I had that unofficial test of a psychic.

Yeah. And they did not deliver in that what they predicted did not come true. And I was really

hanging my head on it. And I was like, well, they're not real. I don't believe them anymore.

Oh, wow. Okay. Well, would that opinion change in any way if the psychic was also a princess?

No. I mean, I would love to listen to what she's saying might happen, but I take it all with a grain of salt. You know, I'm a woman of science.

Yes, yes, that is true. Well, this week we're going to talk about a clairvoyant princess who claims she can hear

people's feelings and hear guardian angels.

After following her angel's advice, she left the royal family and headed right into the

arms of a shaman, and not just any shaman, a spiritualist to the stars, including

Gwyneth Peltro.

Oh, no.

This is the story of Marta Louise of Norway, a princess who never felt truly at home in a castle,

so she created her own kingdom.

It's April 2023, and Princess Marta Louise walks on stage at the Scup Conference in Tonsbarred Norway. She's here to address a crowd of 600 investigative journalists, and she can feel all eyes in the room on her.

But March is used to that by now.
