Hey there listeners, ready for some new historical biographies? This week was an accidental LGBT celebration with two feel good stories to start your weekend with a smile!
Join Andrea as she tells us all about the creepers she used to Salsa with, then heads to gay Paris! Heavy emphasis on the gay, as we join The Countess, an author recording her adventures in the trans community of 19th Century France. Expect Champagne, frilled robes, and a sing-a-long or two.
Then Annie, despite her exercise induced injuries, takes us to England where a young woman becomes exceedingly wealthy and teaches the billionaires of today a thing or two about charity. She doesn't have to do it alone though, she has a room mate to offer her support!
