On this episode Kat talks about the two Theodosia's from the hit musical Hamilton. We get an overview about Theodosia Sr and then a deeper dive into Theodosia Jr and her mysterious disappearance in 1812. Trigger warning, there is a brief 30 second section that talks about Theodosia Jr's difficult birth with her only child. The section itself has a warning during the episode so you can skip ahead the 30 seconds if needed for your personal wellbeing.
