    Ep286. The Truth-Telling Trailblazer & The Ghostly Hostess
    Nov 17 2025
    This week's episode was nearly destroyed by a case of the Disney-drunk-mouse-hiccups! First, Kelley wines about a woman who we ALL need today, but was doing the LAWD'S work as a journalist who was busy checking facts, stiring up shit, and writing wrongs. Then, Emily recounts her trip to a haunted hotel and the ghostly hostess who is a verifiable girlboss in this life and the next! High-five women aggressively and remember that white women ain't scared of shit because we're wining about herstory!

    Ep285. More Than Just a Flag & The Winged Nurse
    Nov 10 2025
    This week the ladies are the EXACT right amount while celebrating Veterans Day with some incredible women who were serving badassery along with the country! Emily wines about Monica Helms, who may have been at home working on nuclear submarine but struggled with her identity as a woman for most of her life, culminating in the creation of one of the most ICONIQUE flags ever. Kelley tells the high-flying tale of Captain Mary Klinker, a flight nurse who served in Vietnam, treating injured soldiers while flying over war zones, and is one of 8 women who hold a unique place in history. Honor ALL who served and don't follow women into bathrooms because we're wining about herstory!

    Ep282. Death Row Granny & Bitter Well Ghost
    Oct 13 2025
    It's the spookiest time of the year and the ladies have two terrifying tales that aren't even close to being as horrifying as our present day circumstances. Kelley tells the story of Velma Barfield, who had a nasty habit of doing an arsenic. Then, Emily tells the legend of Okiku, a dishwasher who took her job so seriously, that it brought her back from the grave (that and a super traumatic death) along with Okiku the haunted doll who lives a better life than most people. Go to therapy and NEVER buy your sister a doll because we're wining about herstory!

  • Ep281. Madam on the Mall & The Italian Bride

    Ep281. Madam on the Mall & The Italian Bride
    Oct 6 2025
    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!

    Ep280. Barrel Hooping Beasley & Fell Into Place
    Sep 29 2025
    First, Kelley wines about Maria E. Beasley, an inventor who revolutionized the barrel industry (without access to barrelsdirect.com)! She went on to make inventions that touched many lives, including those on the Titanic. Then, Emily wines about Betty Lou Oliver who had the most unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on how you look at it) last day of work imaginable, but lived to tell the tale. Don't overdo the barrel decor and beware wolf puppy stench, because we're wining about herstory!
