Cool Dead Women: Sister Rosetta Tharpe

A spy who used "sexpionage" to help win WWII, a pre-Dylan singer-songwriter who mysteriously disappeared, and a 24-year-old who discovered the cure for leprosy, only to have her title usurped and die months later: these are a few of the Cool Dead Women You Should Know.

Hosted by Blair and Erika Waters (a mother-daughter team brand new to podcasting) you can find us on Spotify and Itunes  — with new episodes every other Thursday.
