Over many cultures and many years, being a Eunuch--or someone who has been castrated--has meant something different. Like In ancient China, Eunuchs were thought to be more trustworthy, so they became political advisors. Or In Italy, they realized it stopped men’s voices from developing. So Eunuchs formed a special class of opera singers. Sometimes the process of becoming a Eunuch was voluntary… And other times… not so much. It was done by force or even coercion. But where did these traditions start? Well my friends, today, we’re talking about the dark history of … EUNUCHS. I appreciate you coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

I was just now laying in bed with my husband and I thought he was asleep. I was on my phone and all of a sudden he says, “can you turn on a podcast or something?” (To help him sleep, needs background noise) and I was like sure, what do you want to listen to? Him knowing all the people I watch he goes, “maybe… Bailey” 🤭 he loves you and maybe 1 other YTer I watch. Whenever you say “hi everyone” when I turn your videos on he waves ❤

First time listener, I am 63 years old and I would have retained a lot more of my history if it were presented like this! You have a new subscriber.

The reason eunuchs were considered trustworthy political advisors was because they wouldn't have any heirs. They couldn't start a new dynasty, so they were trusted to not want to usurp a king. They were also preferred for guarding harems for obvious reasons.
