July 31, 2022The History of Abortion: Roe V. Wade
How the heck did we get her?
The history of abortion is as long as human history. From the time of the Ancient Egyptians, people with uteruses have sought the right to choose when and if they want to have a child. From Japan to NewZealand, Rome, and Greece, abortions have been a part of the human experience. Even those so called prudish colonial Americans treated abortion as just another form of medicine. And you know those founding fathers, they never made abortions illegal!
So how did we get here? What was Roe v. Wade all about? All this and more in this weeks episode.

March 30, 2022 The Scandals of President Grover Cleveland
Have you ever heard of fly-over states? You know states where people just think that they're not interesting enough to even land in. Well, I used to think that there were flyover presidents, presidents in American history that we're not noteworthy enough to even remember. But after talking to our season finale guest, my mind has been changed! President Grover Cleveland was once one of those flyover presidents, but our guest Kenny Ryan from the Abridged Presidential History podcast wove me a tale of two Telenovela-worthy scandals. I'm talking secret babies, putting a woman in an asylum, and a secret yacht mouth cancer surgery! So why don't you push play already, because you're not gonna wanna miss the season finale episode!

None other than the sharpshooting historian by the name of Lyudmila Pavlichenko. So grab a snack or settle into that pile of laundry you're folding and let’s get to it!
