41 – Respect Your Local Woman – Anne Bonny and Mary Read


About the Episode

Queer people were invented in the 1970s, right? Today, we hear a completely different story. It’s the legend of Anne Bonny and Mary Read.

Join us as Sierra tells us the tale of two lesbian pirates, while Colin speculates on the Land of Phlegm. You’ll hear about men telling women about their own damn bodies (sound familiar??), how to bamboozle your grandma, and the TRUTH about Stevie Wonder.
