Due to the horrific fires in LA, we could not produce a regular episode for our Herstorians, so here's an update regarding our whereabouts and safety. 

Stay safe, LA. We love you.

NOTE: We had a weird glitch around the 21.20 mark. We're chalking it up to Mercury's retrograde. It's noticeable, and we're not sure what information was missed, but we were on a tangent, so we won't sweat it.

Roll sound! Today, we celebrate female filmmakers. Amy covers Belgian-born French film director, screenwriter and photographer, Agnes Varda. Shelby discusses avant-garde Czech film director and pioneer of Czech cinema, Věra Chytilová. And scene!

It's spooky season, and we love a seasonal theme. This week, we're covering mummies - more specifically, women who have been mummified. Amy covers Chinese noblewoman, Xin Zhui. Shelby discusses the ancient Egyptian mummy known as The Screaming Woman.

We love women's sports, so we're celebrating female Hockey Players!
