It’s two of our favorite stories week! First up, Alicia has the street-to-stardom tale of legendary French chanteuse Edith Piaf, while Stacie explains all the ways your English teacher was wrong about American poet Emily Dickinson.

Both of these stories first appeared on Patreon. If you would like to join our incredible Patreon community for ad-free episodes and hours of additional material every week, or to give the gift of a Patreon subscription to the Trash Panda in your life, visit www.patreon.com/TrashyDivorces.
