You may have heard of Warren Harding... or maybe you haven't! He was a wet-shoe, trash monster president from 100 years ago with a certain piece of male anatomy named Jerry and a penchant for adultery and younger women. Emily fills Karamia in on the many MANY dirty little secrets in Warren Harding's back (and front) pockets that stayed hidden for decades until a deluge of steamy letters and a DNA test spilled the tea. Please forgive us for the myriad of times we get sidetracked, as this episode was recorded on election day and fueled by anxiety, hard Kombucha, and our desperate attempt to sidetrack ourselves from impending doom. While we will do a quick rundown on some of his political scandals, this episode is focused on the women in his life; especially Nan Britton, his secret baby mama young enough to be his granddaughter and the writer of the first ever Kiss-and-Tell book after his death. Grab a block of cheese, a radiant beverage, and indulge us as we try to sort through the dumpster fire of Warren Hardings life. 

Convents are meant for praying…...and love affairs…...and to be burnt down. Tune in to learn about Julie d’ Aubigny AKA La Maupin; the swashbuckling, bisexual, grand lover of a 17-century swordsperson who also sang in the opera on the side. Karamia tells Emily of this LGBTQ heroine that shocked everyone in France except for the Sun King, as well as her future biographers, whose fragile male egos could simply not handle her energy. She joined a nunnery to be with her girlfriend, and in an epic tale of body-snatching and arseny, burnt down the entire convent to escape her lover's overbearing father. She regularly beat trios of men in illegal duels and occasionally turned the men she stabbed through the shoulders into her side pieces. She also stunned Paris with her beauty on stage, and the best part, she did it all while dressed in "men’s" clothing. Pour yourself some eggnog, put on your best swashbuckling pants, and join us in our pillow forts for our new favorite Harlot!
