Handbags are powerful, sexual, and even magical. In this episode we delve deep into their secret languages and histories. We discuss their physical and symbolic qualities, with Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, and the nameless, unhoused "bag lady" helping us along, and we talk about famous handbags like Margaret Thatcher's black Launer, which influenced the phrase "to Handbag."
