About Crimes, Curiosities, and Corsets

What if the very women society tried to silence became the stars of its most scandalous tales? Step into Crimes, Curiosities, and Corsets, where we uncover the compelling stories of Black women who boldly defied societal constraints, turning scandal into a powerful narrative of resistance and resilience. Join me as we illuminate their remarkable journeys and challenge the dominant narratives that have long overlooked their voices.

Trapped in the Spotlight

In Crimes, Curiosities, and Corsets' debut episode, we uncover how 19th-century Europe’s obsession with spectacle trapped Black women in a paradox—hyper-visible yet erased. Sarah Baartman, paraded as the “Hottentot Venus,” was objectified in life and even in death, while the Dahomey Amazons were reduced to colonial curiosities, their power commodified. Through their stories, we reveal how race, gender, and spectacle culture intertwined to police and dehumanize Black women—turning visibility into control. But within these tales of exploitation lies resistance, a legacy that refuses to be silenced.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
