191: Smart People, Toast of the Town, & Silent Women

We start the show with some shocking info we found about how often women are interrupted, and why a quiet woman is seen as more competent. Sarah brings some amazing trivia (that blows Susie's mind), and we find out the origin of things like making a toast at celebrations, why N'Sync is superior to Backstreet Boys, and the history of the fax machine. Plus, we interview Victoria Namkung about her amazing book, These Violent Delights, and talk about the #metoo movement.
