Dorothy Arzner by Such Nasty Women

That's right - we're bringing you two women! Due to technical difficulties, there's another episode coming at you shortly, but enjoy this bonus we recorded! Savannah talks about a Civil War Spy and Jessica talks about a boring movie. You decide who wins this one.

It's Black History Month and we're bringing you a doozy. Yes, it's been a month since we last posted. Yes, this episode is very long. Yes, both Jessica and Savannah cry in it. But it's Michelle Obama, she deserves nothing less.

It's a new year. We have yet another tragic tale. We make jokes. Nothing changes and life moves on.

Hold onto your hats, it's yet another of Savannah's 'famous collection of women'. Inspired by Americans total and complete disregard for the fact that Thanksgiving celebrates colonialism, Savannah brings us a few Indian women who tried to stick it to the British occupation. Spoiler alert: it doesn't end well for them. Also, a discussion on the plural of horse.

It's a special Thanksgiving episode to remind you that we only celebrate this holiday because the Europeans killed off millions of people. Molly Spotted Elk was a Penobscot who danced her way around the United States and Paris, hiked some mountains, and tried to maintain Native American authenticity in all her work.

It's our SpooOOooooOky episode and we're covering the Voodoo queen herself, Marie Laveau. Heaving bosoms, devil charm bracelets, and creepy dolls abound.

Screaming into the void about the Kavanaugh Hearings? Want to scream some more about how time is a flat circle and history repeats itself? Jessica delves into Anita Hill and her testimony and gets angry about misogyny, racism, and how we still aren't believing survivors. It's not a funny one, folx. Buckle up.

This episode has all of your favorites: spies, queer women of color, and the groundbreaking 1992 Whitney Houston classic, The Bodyguard. Jessica knew Savannah would instantly love Elvira de la Fuenta Chaudoir, a "cocktail grubbing party girl who cared for nothing beyond booze, betting, and batting for both teams". So, actually, just Savannah in a past life.

It's summer hours over at the pod but we're bringing you a great one. Savannah takes us through the life of Huda Shaarawi, a woman who helped usher feminism into Egypt by casting off her veil and using her privilege to get things done. Take a drink every time Savannah says 'things were happening' in reference to a very important political movement and finish the drink when Jessica starts freaking out about Italy. Do not operate heavy machinery after.
