Probably the best named podcast in quite some time, in It’s Reigning Men the journalist and broadcaster Daniel Rosney profiles the 40+ men who currently monarchs in different countries around the world. That’s right, none of them are fronted by women, following the sudden abdication of Margrethe II of Denmark on New Years Eve 2023.
Rosney has had a fascination with royalty for as long as he can remember. Not just about those who occasionally appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, but around the world too. He’s keen to find out what they stand for and what their citizens think of them, at a time of rising republicanism. The series starts with King Frederik X of Denmark, looking at how well he is fitting into his mother, Margrethe II’s, footsteps.
