Mata Hari, totally casual

As we near the end of our spy miniseries, we de-mystify the often misunderstood story of Mata Hari! To help tackle this tough tale, we’re joined by the brilliant John McCoy of the Sophomore Lit podcast! John finally takes the Book of Lists to task, Brian reviews Eurovision, and Zach disengages from the premise of his own podcast.

129. Virginia Hall

Virginia Hall, not snitching.

We’re back, and our series on spies continues! This week, we welcome Lauren Faits (of the Bebop Beat and She-Ra: Progressive of Power podcasts) to help us examine Allied WWII spy Virginia Hall! Zach slowly recovers his hosting mojo, Lauren lauds all the great progress America has made sine the early 20th century, and Brian warns of the siren’s song of Quizno’s.

Update: Friend of the show Danny Ramos is thankfully out of the hospital! He still needs our support, so if you can, please consider contributing to his GoFundMe.

128. Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel. How could someone dress like this and be a spy?

We’re back from hiatus! Helping us kick the dust off the tires is the always charming Daniel Daughhetee to help us explore the secret history of “feminist icon” Coco Chanel! In the miniseries on spies! Bit of a spoiler there. Brian speculates on what different celebrities are packing, Daniel reveals the true homeland of antifa, and Zach’s alternate might include Disney’s first openly gay character (but probably not).

Please help our friend and previous guest Danny Ramos as he recovers from a tragic hit and run. We’re hoping to cover his medical expenses via his GoFundMe.

We love hearing from you! You can write us at our website, or just follow us on Twitter or Instagram.

Meanwhile, Zach works on outreach to a virus, Gabby finds a gig for Bruce Hornsby, and Brian disrespects Gabby’s condo.

Since this is a remote recording, the audio is not up to our usual standard. We apologize, but also there’s not much we can do right now!
