You Betch

In this social distancing episode, we regale you with the tales of Sarah Biffin, who was born without arms or legs and became a world-famous artist beloved by royalty, and the Pack Horse Librarians, a group of women who risked their lives to bring books to the rural regions of the Appalachians. Stay home, stay safe, and rock on betches!

In this 'special holiday episode,' we let you in on the secrets of the Reindeer Goddesses, who were clearly the inspiration for modern-day Santa, and the Queen of Christmas herself, Mariah Carey, legendary songstress and pop star. Happy Holidays, betches!

In Episode 57, we explore the stories of Arsinoe, Cleopatra's younger and even more devious little sister, and Tracy Edwards, the first woman to receive the Yachtsman of the Year Trophy. These betches won't be overlooked! (Note: Failed to mention sources for the Tracy Edwards info—Wikipedia, TraceEdwards.co.uk, and a Washington Post article by Alex Andrejev.)

In Episode 56, we chat about Dorothy Dandridge, star of stage and screen and the first African American woman to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, and Deborah Sampson, the first woman to take a bullet for America during the Revolutionary War. Betches making headlines.

In Episode 55, we catch you up on the tales of Mary Webster, who was hanged for witchcraft in 17th century Massachusetts BUT SURVIVED, and Bessie Coleman, the first woman of African American and Native American descent to hold a pilot's license. I mean, DAMN BETCHES!

In Episode 54, we take you on the wild ride that is the life of Imelda Marcos, First Lady of the Philippines for 21 years (and Heather's birthday buddy!), and the charming tale of the Barefoot Contessa herself, Ina Garten. Influential betches, to say the least!

Episode 53 showcases the bananas story of Bertha Boronda, who mutilated her wayward husband then tried to escape via bicycle before being caught and charged with 'mayhem,' and Edith Wilson, former First Lady of the United States, who basically acted as president after her husband suffered a stroke. Betches taking charge.

In Episode 52, Heather chats about Grace O'Malley, the Pirate Queen of Connacht who proved to be a formidable foe to Elizabeth I's English forces, and Morgan discusses the Mirabal sisters, who opposed the dictatorship of Raphael Trujillo in 1950's Dominican Republic. Brave betches.

In Episode 51, Morgan covers the absolute legend that is Stevie Nicks, and Heather tells the story of Anna May Wong, the first internationally recognized Asian-American film star. Betches to look up to, no doubt.

This week we chat about Margaret Haughery, 'the mother of orphans,' and renowned philanthropist who changed the face of 18th century New Orleans with her humanitarian efforts, and Luisa Capetillo, Puerto Rican activist and political leader who helped enact radical change as a turn of the century feminist. Get ‘em, betches!
