Missing History

We're back from our (extended) winter break with a new set of Missing History episodes. First up, Katie and Michael catch up after the holidays and - oh boy - was there a lot of catch up about. We talk Inauguration, Impeachment, and Insurrection and that doesn't even get us out of January. 

A note from the team: While we're working hard to get back to our regular release schedule, life continues to be...well, you know. For the next few months we might be releasing episodes in short bursts - mini-seasons if you will - with a few weeks off between releases. We appreciate you sticking with us and hope to have more Missing History content in your ears soon!

This week we are going big. Katie and Michael discuss three phenomenal woman, two contemporary scientists and one ancient warrior.

The stats don't lie - these two ladies are absolutely incredible. This week we learn about a statistician (who was also the founder of modern nursing) and one of the most influential women in the Ottoman Empire from the period known as the Sultanate of Women.

We are back! What did we miss?!

We took a small break but we are back at it. Katie and Michael catch up on what we have been doing since we were last together, the new global pandemic, and learn about some awesome ladies. This week we are going ancient as we discuss a Hellenistic philosopher and an anchorite from medieval England.

We are back! What did we miss?!
