From bike tires to the most prestigious culinary rating institution, Michelin has a foundation that starts small and grows to be monumentally influential worldwide. And who exactly is Bibendum??? We then take a fashionable jaunt to discuss how the Marinière became synonymous with the typical french stereotype. So allons-y, off to France we go!

Hailed as the "best composer and musician of the kingdom (of France)" - there is nothing that Joseph Bologne was bad at. A skilled musician, athlete, dancer, and revolutionary, he had the ladies of the French court swooning and tbh now we have crushes on him. Tune in to hear all about the life of this incredible talent. Then, things take a left turn as we talk about the crazy things rich people do...like eating a French delicacy called ortolan.

It is a truth universally acknowledged...that we are Pride & Prejudice (2005) apologists. Don't get us wrong we LOVE 1995's adaptation but 2005 will always be our P&P. We go through the plot, our opinions (of which there are many), discuss Joe Wright's choices, and pepper in some film trivia and historical facts. This is a new style of episode for us - we hope you enjoy!

Have you ever wondered why Sinéad O'Connor ripped up the picture of the Pope on SNL? One of the reasons she did that is because of the Magdalene Laundries. Magdalene Laundries were Catholic-run institutions that were the equivalent of work houses for "fallen women". Many sinister things happened at these institutions and the ripple effects can still be felt in Irish society today. Cat then tells us about another dark spot on Irish history - the Ghost of Red Mary. So pour yourself a pint and tune in!

Often called the "original Kardashians" (which is RUDE considering they did it first), Magda, Zsa Zsa, and Eva Gabor were three sisters from Hungary who moved to the US and became tabloid sensations where their personal lives literally equalled money. Between the three of them they married 19 times to 20 men (meaning there was overlap!!!), all of which we get into. Then, Kate shares why you should never cheers with beer in Hungary...the more you know!

For our first episode back from our summer break, we go to Türkiye to discuss a woman who came from the bottom and rose all the way to the top!
