Then, Emily tells a tale that is too dramatic not to be on TV! After surviving a war, Sutematsu Oyama was sent away from her home country of Japan to the United States to learn Western ways.

Ep4. Who Paints Michelangelo's Ceiling & a Spy with a Cheetah Named Chiquita
Strap in and strap on for Emily's sexy NPR voice as the ladies pop open an unusually supportive bottle of Sutter Home Cabernet Sauvignon to talk about some incredible women! Emily starts off covering artist Artemisia Gentileschi who was such a skilled artist, Michelangelo (or his nephew by the same name) asked her to paint his ceiling! Kelley ends the show on a high note as she tells the story of black performer Josephine Baker who had lived more by 15 than most do by 60. She was so fabulous, she had her own cheetah! Pop a bottle, get tipsy, and let's talk herstory!

Ep3. The NOT Queen of Egypt & the NOT Sultana of Dehli
The ladies are here with their cheapest wine yet; a FREE bottle of ForestVille Riesling (that they totally didn't let sit around for 4 years.) It pairs perfectly with a pair of royal ladies who probably would have been besties and started their own podcast had they not lived hundreds of years apart. First, Kelley shares the story of Hatshepsut, an Egyptian Pharaoh (NOT QUEEN) who politely usurped a child. Then, Emily shares the story of Razia, the first and only woman Sultan (NOT SULTANA) of Delhi and her journey from being overlooked to being a ruler!

In their first episode, dynamic duo Kelley & Emily pop open a bottle of The Arsonist chardonnay (a very wet wine) and talk about two revolutionary women- Sybil Luddington & Olympe de Gouges. Strap in and strap on for wine, laughs, and women's history as these two make a history headcanon and stumble through French pronunciations!
