Back when Pong was all the rage and game developers didn't really care of their games were any good, market researcher Carol Kantor bet Atari VP that she could predict which games would/n't sell within 6 months. Her player-focused research techniques would become industry standard for all major developers today! Then, Emily travels across the Mississippi to that dark shadowy place, Wisconsin, to tell the story of Belgian immigrant Adele Brise. While walking through the woods, Adele encountered a mysterious woman in white who would change her life, her small Wisconsin town, and (perhaps) save hundreds of lives.

Then, Kelley tells the twisty (and a little too relatable) tale of Nadine Vaujou who fell into a toxic relationship with a chronic criminal that spiraled into an epic prison break involving fruit, secret cake notes, and a helicopter.

The ladies are JAZZED for Women's History Month (if y'all couldn't tell) and are coming at you with some incredible women who pissed off all the right people! First, Emily covers Marie C. Bolden, a 14-year-old girl who just wanted to win a spelling bee, but ended up delivering a blow to racist shit-heads everywhere! Can you spell bad babe? Then, Kelley tells the story of Emily Warren Roebling, (a credit to her name) an intellectual and a ride-or-die babe. When her husband became ill while helping to build the Brooklyn Bridge, she stepped up and made a family dream come true. Grab your rooster and use it in a sentence, because we're wining about herstory!

The ladies are kicking off Black History Month with two incredible women who defied expectations and stuck it to the man! First, Emily shares the story of Amelia Boynton Robinson, a lifelong activist who worked to ensure black Americans had the same voting rights as white Americans, leading her to a fateful march that would come to be known as Bloody Sunday. Then, Kelley covers Violette Neatley Anderson, a woman who did anything and everything she put her mind to, leading to an impressive career in law! Empty your nasty bladders because we're wining bout herstory!
