Original description:
The girls are back! This time with a multi-part series about what happened on September 11, 2001. The upside: You won't have to wait for the rest of the series, because it all drops today! The downside: We're covering the historical event that looked at Pearl Harbor and was all, "hold my beer."

Brought to you by poor time management, it's a repost week!
It's not just woman-hating misogyny, it's science! In this episode, our heroes travel back in time to Tudor England to discuss all the things that the Tudors DID NOT KNOW about the human body! From birth control to insemination to infanticide, we've got you covered. Trust us: You will never be the same again.
Rated NC-17, cause no durrrrrr.

August 21, 2020 All That and a Dead Finch
Brought to you by poor time management, it's a repost week!
Clerika makes a blatant appeal to the masses by wading into the fast food of the historical world: Tudor England. In this episode, we cover what life was like for adult women during the period, from choosing the right midwife to bewitching local children with your evil old eyes. You know, because you're too old to have your period anymore and the devil has to escape from SOME kind of orifice.
Listen, people, there's no reason to get upset--it's just science.
This episode is rated PG-13, because the subject of childbirth comes up a lot and--shockingly--so do vaginas. And butter. Together. Cause again, science.

May 16, 2020 Train of Snitches
Repost time! This week, I (Clare) finally got around to posting the extremely sanitized version of Empress Wu Zetian's biography on the website. In honor of that, here are the episodes we did about Wu, the only female Emperor in Chinese history.
Here's the articles about Wu:

ORIGINAL EPISODE DESCRIPTION
It's Part II of our series on Empress Wu, the only female emperor of China! In this conclusion to our series, Wu goes through crown princes like Kleenex and then declares herself a living God--as you do. But surprisingly, she's not even close to being the craziest person in the royal family!
I KNOW!

Here's the articles about Wu:
https://rudehistoryeducation.wordpress.com/empress-wu-zetian-without-questions/
ORIGINAL EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Not quite in time for Valentine's Day, it's an episode about possibly the baddest bitch to ever exist: Wu Zetian! The only female emperor in Chinese history, Empress Wu ruled in her own right, which is cool, but to get there, she had to murder a bunch of people, which is less cool. Also featured: a LARPing crown prince, the statue of a fallen dancing boy, dueling concubines, a nunnery turned whorehouse, and an alleged murder that was probably just an elaborate setup for a really bad sex joke.
Have fun!

March 26, 2020 A Perfect Storm of Grossness
"Everyone was clean--I learned it in romance novels!"
It's our very first repost! Sorry guys, Clerika is busy AF trying to bring you a super-topical episode for next week. So enjoy this oldie but goodie, which is about how Europeans couldn't wash themselves to save their lives--literally!
Seriously, some bad, racist shit is going down right now, and we here at Rude History Industries want to take this moment to remind our fellow whites that people of European descent took a SHAMEFULLY long time to learn not to stew in our own filth. So maybe lay off the anti-Asian comments, okay? Okay!
BEGIN REPOST:
Erika and Clare are back, baby! Closing out the New Year with a reminder that you should always, always wash your butt. Yep, that's right: We're talking about the Europeans and how they couldn't keep clean to save their lives! (Or other people's noses). Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and maybe think about giving the gift of soap.

September 19, 2019 The Unthinkable
Aaaaaaaand we're back! In this episode, Erika and Clare discuss "The Unthinkable" by Amanda Ripley, which is about the way human beings behave during disasters. Learn about why panic is largely a myth, Black Friday stampedes are the fault of store owners, and how capitalism + peer pressure killed a ton of people on 9/11.
