The Ladylike Podcast

For Ladylike’s historic 100th episode I have gathered a collection of short and nasty stories from some of our favorites who have been featured on the podcast in the past. Bad news: I will be taking a short hiatus from releasing the podcast after this episode. Without being able to host live shows throughout the pandemic I haven’t been able to record new live stories and so I’m just about out! Good news: We will be hosting a live outdoor Ladylike show on Monday, October 19 in Logan Square at which I will be able to record some new stories. If you are interested in attending the show email us at [email protected] to reserve a spot!
