No Ordinary Women

New episode just dropped, and we might have gone on a 10-minute tangent about the weather... but we promise we eventually got to the good stuff! This week, we dive into the wild life of Dorothea Puente (yes, that Dorothea) and the powerhouse that was Madeleine Albright. Buckle up for some true crime, world politics, and way too much talk about rain clouds.

This week we drink margaritas from Brazo's while Lynn tells us about the absolutely awful life of Elizabeth Bathory. Elizabeth was a Hungarian noblewoman and a purported serial killer. She and four of her servants faced accusations of torturing and murdering hundreds of girls and women between 1590 and 1610.

This week we drink enormous Dark ‘n Stormy’s while Rose tells us about a sweet family trying to live a quiet life on a farm in Mexico. But we all know that is NOT how it ends. Jayne Valseca went to hell and back trying to save her husband’s life while at the same time fighting for her own. And of course, she also had to take care of three kids and run a ranch. Like a boss!
