Extremely interesting

I really enjoyed this podcast. I’m a Military Brat & growing up overseas most my life I enjoyed your celebration of American women in U.S. history, even if my thoughts on their politics greatly differed at times my beliefs in family didn’t & that’s where we connected. I didn’t realize how much till my internet connection messed up & I got extremely upset lol lots of curse words but then Shannon popped back on lol I hate not knowing end of story 👍
Idk if I’m allowed to say this, but I noticed a comment characterizing podcast as “sexist”(?)😂 & I think that person’s comment might be a tad bit right🤷 I know it’s hard for modern day men to realize/come to terms w/facts that women have played a huge part not only in our history (The U.S.of America) but in World history in general & so maybe that’s why the “sexist” comment?🤭😇😎 Maybe you shouldn’t tell historical stories of awesome women in your podcast about 🤷awesome historical women 😎😎😎😂😂😂
