    181. Katherine Johnson - NASA's Human Computer
    Feb 17 2026

    Katherine Johnson was a woman whose calculations at NASA helped launch men into space (and bring them home again) shattering barriers for women and Black scientists. She was a mathematician, a human computer and an American hero. She's got the medals to prove it!

    From the Vault - William Dorsey Swann- Queen of Drag
    Feb 10 2026

    It's Black History Month, so let's pull a story from the vault, that of one William Dorsey Swann, who entered the world enslaved and would be the beacon of ballroom. Joy is an act of resistance, so listen up to the story of the first Queen of Drag!

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

Incredibly educational, and such focus on people history ignored too, like Polly Nichols. Absolutely love that she gives them back their identity!

Educational and fascinating
