On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist includes the Texas Rev(olution), 1835 personal ads, we discuss the marketability of corn milk, the fanciest of fancy meringue cakes, the end of bloodletting and the beginning of double blind trials (were they really trials?), wax statues, and packing the court. Next, Amy Jo presents the fanciful story of the Great Moon Hoax of 1835. The beginning of sensationalism in the press and hints of yellow journalism helped set the stage for a wild, serialized, imaginative set of stories that grew in popularity by the day, kicking off debate in the streets as to their veracity. There’s a cameo by a disgruntled Edgar Allen Poe, oh, and John Herchel is back! Yay!

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
