Ep7. More Than the Entrails and the Breast & Warriors Worth a Thousand 22.04.2019 1:10:01

This week, amateur wine queens Kelley and Emily are trying their best (because pronunciations are hard) while sipping on some Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc to cope with Minnesota's second winter. Kelley starts us off by covering Paulina Luisi who was such a badass, she thought nothing of a severed penis being hidden in her bag. She was also the first women to earn a medical degree in Uruguay, fought for...

Ep6. A Sunday Rider & A Computer in a Skirt 15.04.2019 1:04:46

This week the ladies' synergy is in full force as they both cover prominent black women who broke down barriers and generally kicked ass! While sipping on some face-kicking Lake Girl Pontoon Red wine, Emily starts off with the story of Elizabeth Jennings Graham a teacher and church organist who was already running late for church and then kicked off of a streetcar for being black. She turned her s...

Ep5. The Fighting Girlfriend, an Unsexed Soldier, & a Police Matron 08.04.2019 1:09:10

On this particularly tipsy episode (brought to you by a bottle of Ame Du Vin Rose) the ladies are doing some extra credit and covering 3, count them, 3 women! Kelley covers two military women who felt the call to serve, even when no one asked (or wanted them) them to. First, Mariya Oktyabrskaya, who bought her own fucking tank to go fight the Nazis and avenge her fallen husband. Next, Sarah Emma E...

Ep4. Who Paints Michelangelo's Ceiling & a Spy with a Cheetah Named Chiquita 01.04.2019 1:16:28

Strap in and strap on for Emily's sexy NPR voice as the ladies pop open an unusually supportive bottle of Sutter Home Cabernet Sauvignon to talk about some incredible women! Emily starts off covering artist Artemisia Gentileschi who was such a skilled artist, Michelangelo (or his nephew by the same name) asked her to paint his ceiling! Kelley ends the show on a high note as she tells the story of...

Ep3. The NOT Queen of Egypt & the NOT Sultana of Dehli 25.03.2019 1:02:16

The ladies are here with their cheapest wine yet; a FREE bottle of ForestVille Riesling (that they totally didn't let sit around for 4 years.) It pairs perfectly with a pair of royal ladies who probably would have been besties and started their own podcast had they not lived hundreds of years apart. First, Kelley shares the story of Hatshepsut, an Egyptian Pharaoh (NOT QUEEN) who politely usurped...

Ep2. Medical Mavens & The First Seagull in Space 18.03.2019 1:08:54

Kelley & Emily are back to bring you more women's history and more wine! In this episode, these sweet bitches twist open a bottle of Sweet Bitch Moscato and talk about the Edinburgh 7 who taught them that if at first you don't succeed, recruit more women. Also, we cover a living legend who set her sights VERY high- Valentina Tereshkova! Mornings with u by Barradeen | https://soundcloud.com/barra...

Ep1. A Revolutionary Rider & A Revolutionary Writer 08.03.2019 1:07:09

In their first episode, dynamic duo Kelley & Emily pop open a bottle of The Arsonist chardonnay (a very wet wine) and talk about two revolutionary women- Sybil Luddington & Olympe de Gouges. Strap in and strap on for wine, laughs, and women's history as these two make a history headcanon and stumble through French pronunciations!
