Up until the mid-1980s, no U.S. state had ever elected a woman to be attorney general It took a former Roman Catholic nun in America's smallest state to shatter that glass ceiling. In 1984, Arlene Violet – running as a Republican in deep blue Rhode Island – was elected attorney general. Her goals were to strengthen victims' rights, and to try to root out the state's entrenched public corruption . In this 1988 interview she reveals what happened next.

Arlene Violet served as a nun for 23 years in the US state of Rhode Island. When she was there she realised that there were big problems locally: the mob ruled the streets and a Colombian drug cartel had moved in. Arlene thought it was her duty to fight the injustices she saw every day, so she decided to run for State Attorney General. She went on to become the first woman in that role, and she sent 18 top criminals to jail. This podcast was first released on 31st March 2018.

New episode out now! We discuss the 2016 film The Nice Guys, about two 1970s “investigators” who are really just total disasters. We cover the excellent music and production design, how you can tell the actors are having fun, how surprisingly funny the movie is, and how it sneaks in commentary on governmental oversight and harmful carbon emissions. Katy tries to explain 1970s drug trends but doesn't fully understand the movie, Carrie is always low-key thinking about The Hobbit, Maddy initially thought it was about a telekinetic child, and Mack knows more about Russell Crowe’s jockstraps than we really think is proper. We also channel our inner Tina Belcher, reminisce about phone cord limbo, stress the importance of vaccines, and discuss women holding positions of power in the justice department. One of us casually busts out “anosmia” in a sentence but none of us know how to pronounce “Basinger.” We also have a special visit by a Bee Expert to discuss bee reproduction! Can you dig it? TW: Discussion of adult films and sex work, use of outdated terminology, child neglect, corpse humor CORRECTIONS: Mined from Wikipedia: The first female state attorney general was Anne X. Alpern of Pennsylvania, in 1959, but the next one to be appointed did not happen until 1985 with Arlene Violet of Rhode Island. The first female Attorney General of the United States was Janet Reno, appointed in 1993. Ann Rule did work for a short while as an officer in the Seattle Police Department’s new Women’s Bureau beginning in 1954. (sourced from the Retired Seattle Police Officers’ Association)
