OUTLANDISHLY HOT TAKES: Sassenach Historian on Moving to Scotland, Outlander & Living the Dream
She moved to Scotland, married a Scotsman, and somehow turned the ultimate Outlander fantasy into her real life. This week, Nikki and Lisa are joined by Hailey Beaupre, better known as the Sassenach Historian, for a fun and unfiltered chat about her journey from Outlander fan to one of the most recognisable creators in the fandom.
We also discuss:
How Outlander completely changed Hailey's life Why she was a full-blown Titanic kid before she was an Outlander fan The leap that took her to Scotland The story behind becoming the Sassenach Historian Her most controversial Outlander opinion Her latest TV obsession (Yellowstone fans, assemble) Landing a cameo in Outlander: Blood of My Blood and ticking off a lifelong bucket-list dream Why absolutely nothing gets between Hailey and her bucket list Rapid-fire Outlandishly Hot Takes The most overrated Scottish landmark Which Fraser reigns supreme Whether the 1700s were actually romantic... or a hard pass
From childhood obsessions and dream-come-true moments to fandom hot takes and life in Scotland, this episode is packed with laughs, stories and proof that sometimes the wildest dreams really do come true.

Nikki and Lisa are unpacking ALL of it, from Henry and Julia’s long-awaited reunion (and the Seema-shaped elephant in the room) to Brian choosing love over titles, Dougal being a baddie, and Murtagh proving that a little kindness and a handmade flower can go a very long way. Plus, that final twist? WE ARE NOT OKAY.
