In this VERY SPECIAL episode, we are honoured to welcome author, icon, and history genius Xiran Jay Zhao!!! Xiran and the girls go over the reign of Wu Zetian- the first and only female emperor of China AND the inspiration for the Iron Widow series. They also introduce the term "Gigachad" to the pod- frankly life-changing...


We also, of course, have a quick detour into the French revolution...AS YOU DO!!!!
