This week on Lady History: Because Haley just moved and we are all a mess, we decided to unlock a Patreon episode from earlier this year. A continuation from our Founding Mother's Episode where we talk more about our thoughts on Hamilton! Do you agree? Have your own spicy or lukewarm thoughts? Herstorytime episodes come in a variety of forms, ranging from "cut content" clip compilations to newly recorded episodes on movies, museums, and more! Each episode is approximately 20-60 minutes long. They are more "chill" than our main feed episodes, and we hope they feel like having a friend in your ear hole. Sign up for our patreon and you get a new Herstorytime episode every single week (yes, even when we don't post on the main feed).
