  • 169. The Mystery of Little Egypt
    Nov 25 2025

    When the 1893 World's Fair hit Chicago, the city was aghast and excited by the dance du ventre that shimmied through the Streets of Cairo procession at the Great Columbian Exhibition. People clambered to see the woman who brought the belly dance to America, a performer that went by the name Little Egypt, but who was she and how did she influence American Burlesque for years to come..?


    From the Vault, way back in 2023 I covered the life of one Frank Abagnale Jnr, a conman so sleek and sly that the FBI hunted him across the globe and his exploits were teh plot of the Stephen Spielberg movie, Catch Me If You Can. A story so wild and fantastical that it seemed to good to be true....

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
