Celebrity gossip has NEVER been juicer than this.
Like, literally. It’s the 1660s. We just invented celebrities last week.
Pepys and "Valentino" have begun their podcast, The Peek with Samuel Pepys, in earnest. Their first topic? What exactly is going on with the monarchy (Valentino was never much of a history buff), where's Shakespeare, and which came first: King Charles II or his spaniels? The men are then unexpectedly visited by actress Nell Gwyn, and her arrival brings them one step closer to uncovering where the concept of celebrity truly began.
