We're back as promised, and we have some adventures to share. Miró shares her experience with the TBTL Tens at their Austin live show (and makes Kath jealous), and Kath gushes about returning to our high school for our ten year reunion (and sharing our friendship "origin story" in the process.) We also talk about bravery, whether it's following the example of Anne of Green Gables (from the books, not the new Netflix series we aren't watching) or getting up on a trapeze! 

Need a little more inspiration to be bold? Follow the lead of this week's BAWOTE: Roxcy Bolton, fierce feminist foremother.

After months where our lives got in the way (Again! We know! We're sorry!) Miró and Kathryn are back with a bushel full of book recommendations. Some we loved: learn about our BAWOTES in The Story of Jane by Laura Kaplan, and listen to us (mostly Kath) ramble on about giving Mansfield Park multiple chances. Some we liked: we finally talk about Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl. And some we didn't: A Discovery of Witches and Cork Dork. Listen! Read! Recommend your recent favorites to us using the #MttMPod!

It's the first episode of 2017 and we're not big into spoilers so you're just gonna have to listen to the show to find out what shenanigans we're up to! [hint: it's awards season]

Katherine Johnson*, a black physicist and mathematician critical to NASA for over three decades, is our BAWOTE (Badass Woman of the Episode). You may have heard of her because she is one of the subjects of the award-winning and box-office-busting movie Hidden Figures.

*Note: Kathryn accidently called BAWOTE Katherine Jacobsen (instead of Johnson) on the show. Katherine Jacobsen is the name of a woman she went to college with - we apologize for the mistake.

We're baaaccckkkk!!! After a crazy fall Miró and Kath are back behind the mic and we've got a lot to catch up on.  The BAWOTE (Badass Woman of the Episode) is Solange Knowles with some guest badassery courtesy of her mother, Tina Knowles. Too much fabulousness to explain here, just go listen.

Kath discusses why Buffy the Vampire Slayer may be the balm for our post-election wounds (and yes, it's still relevant!) and we escape further into the fantasy world with reviews of YA novels Seraphina and Carry On. 

Taking it back to reality, Kath finally names her "watch a movie by a creepy person, give back to something good," mission: Filmanthropy. 

Side note: For the record, the actual Elizabeth Cady Stanton quote we reference is, “In a word, I am always busy, which is perhaps the chief reason why I am always well.”

In episode 22 Miró and Kath discuss Fashion Week, rant about Yeezy (yes, again), give you some updates on what grandma TV you should be watching, and discuss this topic: "what are we doing with our lives?" (Please don't answer that).

Bonus points to the person who can figure out the two reasons the outro music was chosen!

This episode our BAWOTE (Badass Woman of the Episode) is Emma Rowena Gatewood (aka Grandma Gatewood) who, at 67, was the first woman to complete a solo hike through the Appalachian Trail. Enough said, go learn more in this episode!

It's the 21st episode and MttM can finally drink! So we thought we'd celebrate by drinking while recording, too. Get our tipsy take on the Olympics Opening Ceremony, Pokemon Go, and Cats the Musical. 

This episode our BAWOTE (Badass Woman of the Episode) is threefold: Olympians Zahra Nemati from Iran, Syrian refugee Yusra Mardini, and Oksana Chusovitina from Uzbekistan.

In which we accidentally spend the entire episode talking about rich people. Rich people killing each other, rich people during debutante season, rich women saying "fuck it I'm happier without a man," rich women saying "fuck it, I'd rather hang out with my gay bestie than my husband," rich people at boarding school. But we PROMISE it's fascinating. Just trust us.

There's enough book recommendations to fill the next four months, Kath compares An American in Paris the-sexist-movie-version to An American in Paris the-modernized-musical, and our BAWOTE (Badass Woman of the Episode) is Wendy Davis, former Texas senator and founder of Deeds Not Words.

*Note: this episode was recorded before the tragedy at Pulse in Orlando. All our love is with the victims, survivors, and the LGBTQ community.

In Episode 19 Kath guilt trips Miró for not listening to the Hamilton soundtrack, Miró guilt trips Kath for not watching Transparent. We introduce BAWOTE (Badass Woman of the Episode) Loretta Lynch and discuss her speech against the "bathroom bill." The remake of Roots is now on TV and everyone seems to have an opinion. When is a reboot good and when is it time to move on? And finally, your summer reading essentials, why Chick Lit book covers may ruin your next great discovery, and how murderous monks may be the perfect calming escape from your cray boss.

No, you don't have to be rich, you just have to be on the $10 bill. Prince has passed away but our girl Elizabeth Cady Stanton made it onto the big 1-0! Kath tells us about our Badass Woman of the Episode: inventor, actress, and free-the-nipple-er before her time, Hedy Lamarr. We share some big news. And the question still stands, "Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?"
