The Town That Raised Queens - Forgotten Woman Who Made History
Today on SmallTownUSA, we’re talking about the ultimate underdog crew: women in American history who did way more than sit in rocking chairs and drink tea. We’re bringing you the legends who invented “don’t mess with me” long before that was a thing, but who aren't getting the credit they deserved. We're talking hardcore heroines that provided financial freedom for their communites, spent decades making sure civil and women's rights weren't just buzzwords, ran a one-woman safety net...etc. These women didn't just shake up their communtiies -- they shook up the country.Join Jessica and Karmen, as they chat about history’s true trailblazers—the women who laughed in the face of “you can’t” and just went ahead and did it anyway. Prepare for plenty of “wait, WHAT?” moments and maybe a little bit of envy. Don't miss your Exit

The town that went from turnips-of-terror to trick-or-treat
We’re peeling back the eerie origins of Halloween, Scottish-style—where carving pumpkins would’ve gotten you side-eye from a town full of turnip-wielding revelers. Turns out, Scotland’s Halloween celebrations involved veggies that look way scarier than anything you’ll find on a Pinterest board. And let’s not forget Jenny Greenteeth, the local hag of nightmares who perfected drowning people with style.
Karmen and Jessica are diving into why the Scots first started hacking away at turnips, and exploring some delightfully dark lore from around the globe. Because nothing says Halloween like folklore that might just inspire you to sleep with one eye open.
For those who think our current holiday’s a little basic, come get your frightful fix the way it was originally served—one terrifying turnip at a time. Don't miss your exit.
