A podcast for those who love history, comedy, and booze. Each week, the History Woes team tells two themed historical stories and pairs those stories with a drink.
Welcome back! In this episode of History Woes, Lexi and Morgan confirm that IT'S NOT JUST A PHASE, MOM as they bring you stories for Pride Month - if just a little delayed. First, Lexi tells the inspiring story of Edith Windsor, pioneer in LGBTQ+ rights and all-around bada**. Then, Morgan addresses the state of banned books throughout recent history. Listen to the end for a special perk for our Patreons.
