Ladies First – 070

Carol Burnett and her love story with life - you’ll be glad we had this time together; On the Road stays close to home with two powerful women in one - and woe to them who stand in the way of either - Deadwood’s own Calamity Jane, actress Jena Sierks; Lovin SoDak is a slew of ladies showing their... grit, in Deadwood; and our original Tale from The Heart of America is a narrative of a woman who’s strength turned struggle into kindness, Karma Margo. **This Love in America Podcast originally aired August 12, 2018 as Episode 44 - Tough as (Painted) Nails** CREDITS: http://lovin-america.blubrry.net/ladies1st-070 (Like the podcast?
