From the Archives: Barbie

In a move that is NO WAY tied to the desire to ride the coattails of certain pop culture events, here's an episode from the past (and our first episode together at that!). We hope you gain something from our dive into the Woman in Pink before heading to the movies!

Not that this re-release has anything to do with that. #MidgeMidge2024

Original show notes: Emily and Sara learn about Barbie's weird German origins, how many jobs she's had, and how many members of the Roberts family there really are. There's also dumb games, Emily forgets how to read and the girls pitch their Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse fancast.

Medieval Torture Devices

Humans have always been pretty innovative with ways to punish other humans, but what if the truth about some of the more famous torture devices was different than what we thought? Good news, we got to the bottom of what is and isn't real. Bad news... humans didn't get any less terrible.
