Hi friends, happy Wednesday!
So the other night I was deep into my usual bedtime routine of doomscrolling, and I stumbled across this headline that said: “DID YOU KNOW: The Last Witch Trial Was in 1944.”
And I was like… I’m sorry, what? 1944? Like ... more

So the other day, I was googling jelly beans. Don’t ask why, I was in a mood. But I ended up falling down a rabbit hole, and suddenly… I was reading about Ronald Reagan.

Apple Podcasts5ItsmeteejayUnited States20 days ago - Ballerinas & sex work (19th century)
Episode idea!!!!!! You should definitely do an episode over the true anguish that ballerinas in the Paris opera house went through in the 19th century. From 10-12 hour work days 6-7 days a week, to turning to sex work due to starvation (and their mothers orchestrating it) it’s truly shocking and sad. I got this idea after going down a rabbit hole about Degas’ “little dancer aged 14” sculpture. I think Marie van goethem (who the sculpture is based off of) deserves to have her name out there and h... more
