I explore the origins behind modern marriage practices and discover that the meaning of the white wedding dress goes much deeper than the long-spun western tale of purity and virginity.// Follow me on IG: instagram.com/katybellotte/

In this episode of Thick & Thin, we’re going back in time to the 1920’s prohibition in America to uncover secrets and intriguing parallels found between that era and modern times. I also discuss underground parties, gangsters, risky alcohol allegedly made in bathtubs, and just how far people will go to maintain a sense of normalcy. // Follow me on IG: instagram.com/katybellotte /

In this episode of Thick & Thin, we discuss an exciting new change for the podcast (!!!), along with falling trees, trusting your instincts & largely forgotten yet extremely influential American spy, Virginia Hall. Virginia was a one-legged spy who has been called America's greatest spy of World War II, although it’s fairly likely that you’ve never heard of her. We'll change that! // Follow me on IG: instagram.com/katybellotte // SOURCES: https://www.npr.org/2019/04/18/711356336/a-woman-of-no-importance-finally-gets-her-due

In this episode of Thick & Thin, I share four of my newest reads, as well as the story of Martha Gellhorn. An author and war correspondent, Martha is largely known for her brief marriage to Ernest Hemingway, but is responsible for much greater things than just spending some time married to a now famous author. “Why should I be a footnote in someone else’s life?” She famously said in an interview. We give her story justice today in this episode of Thick & Thin. // Follow me on IG: instagram.com/katybellotte // EPISODE SOURCES: https://www.nytimes.com/1998/02/17/arts/martha-gellhorn-daring-writer-dies-at-89.html https://www.irishtimes.com/news/in-times-of-love-and-war-1.399784 https://www.cbc.ca/radio/day6/king-tides-impeach-o-meter-frosty-at-50-lindy-west-k-pop-deaths-and-mental-health-martha-gellhorn-more-1.5384775/the-only-woman-at-d-day-what-martha-gellhorn-s-letters-reveal-about-the-trailblazing-war-correspondent-1.5384779 https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a22109842/martha-gellhorn-career-ernest-hemingway/
