The Compressive History of the Bra - 25

Host, Erin Whitehead, invites the lovely host of The Dirty Bits Podcast, Tawny Platis, to the podcast to delve into the history of the bra, thanks to the wonderful suggestion from Rhett Hall of The Braintrust Brothers Network! From Ancient Greece, to Roman Times (where they thought big boobs were ridiculous), all the way to the first patent of the modern bra in America, and through the "burning of the bra" time in the 60's (um…. did that actually happen?)… we learn all about the COMPRESSIVE history of the brassiere. Bonus, we also learn all about the history of Erin's boobs. Good times.  Have men always been boob guys, will they always be? Is Erin looking for a delorean so she can go live back in Ancient Greece? How fun would being a wet nurse during the Medieval Times be? "Compress the Breast", can you say that three times fast? During what time period did women rock the "two doves perched atop my breasts," look? What role does Sir Mix A Lot have in the history of the bra? Anti-corset activists? Yes. And they were RAD. Did the original Nasty Women pop up in 1911? Who is the bastard that invented the underwire? What do we learn about THE Fredrick of Fredrick's of Hollywood? Can Tawny sing Coolio? Were 80's shoulder pads the worst fashion invention ever? (Spoiler: nope) In what era did women decide to weaponize their boobs? Did bra-burning happen, or was that just fake news? Is Brandi Chastain the real hero here? Yes, Yes she is.  To find out more about Tawny's voice over work, visit her website www.tawnyvoice.com and to find the podcast visit www.tawnyvoice.com/dirtybits or anywhere you listen to podcasts.
