    160. Josephine Baker - Part I
    Sep 15 2025

    Jospehine Bake lived a full life, so much so that it was impossible to fit the bisexual, burlesque icon's story into just one episode! So welcome to part one, where we learn all about how Josephine went from dirt poor to dancing in Paris, one of the celebrated performes of the Jazz era, and who liked Willy so much she married to of them!

    158. Liane de Pougy - Courtesan, Princess, Nun
    Sep 1 2025

    Burlesque's beginnings blossomed out of La Belle Époque, the interwar period between the Franco-Prussian war and WW1. An era where creativity and the arts boomed and the Burlesque show was born and it created stars, women like Liane de Pougy, a star, a desired courtesan, a princess and a nun.

As a history person myself I love listening to Katie. Her informal style and reflections on what happened keep the stories from getting bogged down in facts and allows the events and people to shine in the retelling. Occasionally, she'll leave me wanting more information, for example she might state that a person was cruel without giving examples, and I'll think: but how Katie? Did he beat his wife? Was he oppressive to his tenants?etc. But I also realize she only has so much time to tell a story and some details may need to be left out. If I'm still sufficiently curious when she finishes her story I'll look up more information myself.

I also suffer terrible insomnia and listen to Katie as I lie in bed. The stories distract me from the pain that keeps me awake and sometimes even help me fall asleep.

Love listening to Katie
