In this episode we hear a great pants moment from a listener, and Sarah brings an article about stuffed bird hats going in (and then promptly out) of fashion, thanks to journalism and activism. They talk about their relationship to birds and modern excessive displays of wealth. Chris introduces a new segment to the podcast, and brings an article about an infamous female spy from WWI. They talk about what they would be like as spies (terrible) and their worst date stories (also terrible). 

Sarah’s article is from The Richmond River Herald and Northern Districts Advertiser - Friday 18th January 1889, Page 3 - “A Cruel Fashion”

Sarah also referenced this story from The Emu (warning: contains graphic images) and also used this handy article by Hayley Webster and Gemma Steele from Museums Victoria.
