This week Shaunna looks at Lola Montez who we have decided is the 19th Century Cardi B. Lola was a wild child who traveled more than all of your Tinder matches combined, was an early burlesque dancer and almost toppled a monarch. Expect terrible pop culture references, plenty of Buffy and learn which disease Maria is obsessed with this week (hint: it predates the coronavirus and your favourite historical figure probably had it)
