In this glass-clinking episode of Buzzed and Baffled, the wine flows as one of our hosts dives into the baffling true story of the Quaker Universal Friend—once known as Jemima Wilkinson.
Our other host is totally blind to what’s coming and reacts in real time as the tale spirals from colonial revival meetings to full-on utopian cult vibes. Was the Universal Friend a divine disruptor, a feminist trailblazer, or just the ultimate 18th-century enigma?
Grab your goblet—this one’s got resurrection, rebellion, and robes.
