Ep284. The Killer Geisha & Resurrection Mary
Attempted apple picking, worshiping MatPat, and doing the crank! Kelley wines about Sada Abe, a woman who captivated Japan with her charisma, sexuality, and crimes; but more than her crimes, it's what she did after that captured everyone's morbid fascination.

Ep281. Madam on the Mall & The Italian Bride
Girl bosses? Check. Overbearing mothers? Check. Politicians getting into sexy shenanigans? You betcha! Emily returns to Congressional Cemetery to pay her respects to one of its most (in)famous interns, Mary Ann Hall. From humble beginnings, Mary Ann worked her way up to be one of the most successful business women in Washington D.C. Servicing politicians, socialites, and the elite just blocks away from the nation's capitol, Mary Ann was making bank. The only problem was, her business was illegal. Kelley tells the terrifyingly true story of Julia Buccola Petta, a young Italian immigrant who tragically died during child birth. But when her body was exhumed years later, what onlookers found was truly shocking. Beware of freshly poured patios and take control of your life (or don't) because we're wining about herstory!
