Sorry for last week's unexpected no-show. We had some major technical difficulties, but this is the episode that was supposed to air. To celebrate the 2026 Winter Olympics, we look at the women of Italy. Amy covers Veronica Franco, an Italian poet and courtesan in 16th-century Venice. Shelby discusses Beatrice Cenci, an Italian noblewoman imprisoned and executed for killing her father. (Spoiler - He deserved it.)
