Ep. 16 Bardot, Budapest, Alabama, Khrushchev

We're back from our unintentional hiatus! In this episode we look at some decidedly somber topics that have far reaching effects.  We'll talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of one of the world's most recognizable faces, the speech that changed the (Communist) world, the shocking response to student protests, and the real story behind the myth of a tired woman who altered the course of history. *Disclaimer: this episode was recorded before the passing of Queen Elizabeth II Want to reach out to us?
