Ep309. Bisexual Cat Lady

Cats! Women! Sexy cat women who aren't meant to be sexy but DAYUM DAT ASS! This week Kelley is essecentially wining a love letter to Emily by covering Leonor Fini, a bisexual woman in 1920s who loved cats, art, and polyamory. After a childhood of dodging kidnapping attempts, Leonore established herself as a preeminent artist of her time while challenging viewers and defying lables. Manipulate your mom into adopting a cat and stay the fuck away from Woody Allen (yes, Emily had to look it up) because we're wining about herstory!

Ep308. Shannon McKenna Schmidt 'You Can't Catch Us' Interview

The ladies are excited to welcome author Shannon McKenna Schmidt to talk about a little known train trip made by First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson! In the wake of JFK's assasination, Lady Bird Johnson traveled through the divided American South to campaign for her husband, Lyndon B. (whippin out his) Johnson, risking terroristic threats and harrassment from segregationists, to speak directly to the people. We're talking bitchin' party trains, a country on the edge, and a woman whose legacy should include much more than beautifucation. Listen now!
