  • Summary

  • Think history is a boys club? Think again. In this podcast History Gap we are looking back to pull up the women throughout history that might have fallen through the cracks. Join (extremely) amateur history fans comedy writer Mollie Goodfellow and creator and producer Jorja McAndrew as they educate themselves on some of the cool women from the past that they didn’t learn about in history lessons - mostly because they weren’t listening. From Junko Tabei, incredible mountain climber, to Anne Lister, dubbed the ‘first modern lesbian’, History Gap is a snappy look at the stories of women who were doing brave, exciting, sometimes evil but always interesting things with new episodes dropping weekly.
