Biting All The Apples
Biting All The Apples is an unhinged bookclub-ish conversation that channels the sassy wisdom of long dead victorian feminists to analyze the puritanical influences still messing with our world today. We start off with the 1895 best seller "The Woman's Bible" by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Each week we cover their 19th century feminist analysis of a book in the bible and ponder, laugh, and cry over the similarities to the issues of today.
This is a great listen for anyone interested in the patriarchal influence in religion, politics, and social order. As well as anyone that is GenX or any generation, anyone that likes comedy, books, history, and thinkin.

"If I perish, I perish" and other main character energy moments in the Book of Esther
Aren't we all a little bit Vashti? Let us ask that question as the Victorian feminists guide us through their favorite passages in the book of Esther. It's one of JV & SKs favorite Old Testament Books so far.
Today we are coming at you with the Book of Esther! Don’t let the senior center name fool you, this is another throne wars book in the bible and it is full of salaciousness, sin, and slaughter. We get to see a woman defying King’s orders and learn the story behind the feast of Purim. We’ll go over the brilliant Victorian feminist response, meet a new contributor to the Woman’s Bible, and as always - discuss how eerily relevant it all is to the American kingdom in 2025.
