Cyberstalking! Inappropriate office decor! Puking! The Virgin Mary! Somehow, by the grace of God (or in spite of it) the ladies are bringing ALL of this and more this week. First, Kelley honors her gamer side by highlighting Carol Kantor, one of the early thought leaders in the video game industry! 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. Chug those electrolytes and don't give strangers rides, because we're wining about herstory! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
 
MOVE over 2024, the new year is here! Joined by friend Katee and silent watcher Drew, the ladies are talking ghostly time travel, voting loopholes, and glass dildoes! First, Emily stays close to home, investigating a local school's namesake Harriet Bishop. Best known as 'St. Paul's First Teacher,' Harriet's life and legacy is much more messy and problematic than initially believed. Then, Kelley tells the story of Charlotte Edith Anderson Monture, a Mohawk woman who got an education (despite not being allowed to), became a nurse (despite not being allowed to), and served in WWI on the front lines saving lives.

As we brace for the new year, these two women are helping us end 2024 off with innovation, resilience, and generosity.

Emily tells the tale of Grýla, an Icelandic giantess who eats children. But why is she so nasty? From lay-about husbands to prankster sons, Grýla has plenty to be pissy about. Then, Kelley tells the story of Beira, the Scottish Queen of Winter and creator goddess. All of her powers couldn't make up for her deep insecurity. To deal with that, she turned to kidnapping and an endless war with her son. Get ready to hike through 12 feet of herstory because it's time to wine! Learn more about your ad choices.

This week the ladies are saluting instigators, imposters, and improbably diagnoses!
