  • I'm rating this here because I can't rate the show on Itunes or Apple Podcasts or whatever. I really like this show a lot.

I also really like that it's no... more

  • Valuable insights

    Thank you for this important work. Research on sex workers is a new area for me -I discovered your podcast when looking for information about Kate Horony/Elder/Cummings (Doc Holliday’s companion). I find your research compelling and appreciate your balanced and intelligent approach to this topic. I look forward to listening to every episode and following your work.

  • I've been listening to this podcast for a while and was happy to be able to find it on audible. I recently listened to the episode on Pamela Churchill Harriman, which is a really interesting story about a woman I hadn't learned about in school and her name wasn't one that had popped up for me in other areas. But hearing about her story really gives insight into how differently some of our stories go and how political connections were fostered by someone with an unconventional background. I alway... more
