    In part 2, we'll talk about disappearances, when you're truly the last one in the world to know something, and creating legends.

    The story of the Robert Scott Expedition is one of the most well-documented exploration stories out there, but there's this entire other side of the story that's never been told - until a book by the name of Snow Widows was published. In today’s episode we’ll sit down with author Katherine MacInnes to talk about this incredible untold story.

  • Bike Racing - Tillie Anderson and the Forgotten Female Bike Racers - A Conversation with Roger Gilles

    Bike Racing - Tillie Anderson and the Forgotten Female Bike Racers - A Conversation with Roger Gilles
    Mar 4 2025

    In the 1890s, a group of women burst onto the American bike racing scene. That they were competing publicly was shocking enough. But that they forced to the fore the conversation about whether women should be athletes, made them women to be reckoned with.

    In this episode, I speak with Dr. Roger Gilles, the author of Women on the Move, a chronicle of female bike racers in the 1890s.
