About this listen

Join comedians Cass and Natalie for an educational, entertaining and sometimes irreverent romp through history as they share the tales your textbooks glossed over, whitewashed, man-washed...or left out completely.

    111 - Hard Out Here for a Pope (feat. Alex DiVirgilio & Jim Vozzella)
    Jul 15 2025

    We've seen the white smoke, and it is time for a Pope-a-palooza! From Pope #1 and the 13 other Pope Leos to lady popes and baller popes, we cover a LOT of papal history in this, the final episode of season 7 and Cass's last season as co-host!

    We're joined by returning guests and friends, Jim Vozzella (ep. 48) and Alex DiVirgilio (ep. 96 & ep. 100) for an exploration of the origins of the papacy, Chicago's own Pope Leo XIV, the legend of Pope Joan, the Harlem Globe Trotters, hot TV/Film popes & priests, and, of course, a whole lot of Catholic Youth Nostalgia.

    110 - A Hull Lot of Smut
    Oct 29 2024

    This episode is about the Jane Addams Hull House and all of the residents who passed through, and about hot, smutty classical music. Maybe we'll write a clever description later, but for right now that is all you need to know.
