It's a sin, really, how few women grace the contents of our history books regardless of the impact they might have had on their own time. Betsy Bonaparte is no exception.

Join Guest Caprina Smith with host Talia as they tell the tale of their hometown hero!

William Shakespeare. Odds are, if you went to an English speaking high school, you read some of his works. But did Shakespeare really write his own work, or was it some Royal Renaissance plot? This week, Talia and Guest Host Mikaela Simon discuss the fascinating story behind the person (or people) who wrote some of literature's most fascinating stories.
