Edith! is a historical fiction podcast produced by QCode and Crooked Media starring Rosamund Pike about Edith Wilson.

Background

The podcast is a collaboration between QCode and Crooked Media.[1] The podcast takes places soon after the Treaty of Versailles and the Spanish flu when Woodrow Wilson fell ill while working to establish the League of Nations.[2] The podcast follows Edith Wilson who took over much of her husband's responsibilities while he was struggling with his health.[3] Rosamund Pike stars as Edith Wilson in the podcast.[4] Other voice actors included Clark Gregg and Stephen Root.[5] The story is based on historical events, but the show is a dramatization of the events and does not aim for historical accuracy which is evident by the subtitle—"The Untold True-ish Story of America's Secret First Female President".[6][7] The podcast was an eight episode series.[8]

Reception

Nicholas Quah wrote in Vulture that the podcast is "too eagerly and cavalierly clever for its own good".[9] Ammar Kalia wrote in The Guardian that the podcast "is a wry take on the historical machinations of power."[10] Podcast Review, a channel of Los Angeles Review of Books, called the podcast "Quirky, stylish, and probably historically inaccurate".[11] Patricia Nicol praised Pike's acting in The Times saying that she "is superb as the snarky, steely, manoeuvring Edith, always two steps ahead of the men"[12]
