• S2 Ep5: It’s Hard To Be Faithful To a Boy You Never Hear From

  Getting separated with your husband after 7 months is not a typical problem for a 17-year-old... Unless you lived in the 50s! In this episode we’re looking at relationship troubles that teenagers dealt with and the advice that was given to them in the “Boy Loves Girl” comic magazine.  ________________  If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon!  https://www.patreon.com/textory

• S2 Ep4: A Woman You Should Not Marry

  Choosing a marriage partner is no easy feat, even less so when it’s the 1920s and divorces are still uncommon. Unsure gentlemen could have used guidebooks like the one we’re reading in this episode - “A Woman You Should Not Marry” by Reinhold Gerling. Warning: plenty of sexism in this one.  ________________  If you enjoy the podcast and want to support what I’m doing, check out my Patreon!  https://www.patreon.com/textory

  How do fairies benefit the planet? How do they procreate? Do fairy horses exist? These are genuine questions none other than sir Arthur Conan Doyle asked himself in 1922.
