It Takes A Delicate Constitution: Victorian Feminists and The Occult …

The Real Deal on Revelation: Women, astrology, and dragons rule
The gods of our fathers are our devils. That's what the victorian feminists say an ancient Arabic proverb says.

The Unnatural Arrogance of Mark and Luke and Everyone Else
In this seriously-worth-your-time episode, we explore how Elizabeth Cady Stanton's 1895 "The Women's Bible" called out religious justifications for female subordination that mirror today's Christian nationalist rhetoric.

Virgins, Lanterns, Host Bodies and the Supernatural Book of Matthew
The battle for reproductive rights and women's autonomy isn't just modern politics—it's a struggle with deep historical roots.

Tinkling, Sackclothing, and Some Cranky Old Kings: We're Finishing Up…
We're back after our short summer podcast pause to bring you the very last books of the Old Testament through the lens of our favorite Victorian Feminists.

"If I perish, I perish" and other main character energy moments in th…
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 f…
Halved babies, balloon art, and radical gals in the book of Kings
We're talking about Kings before No Kings Day - just in time. When all is said and done, we end up talking about the fascinating women in the chapter more than all the kings - because really, Kings are quite predictable. And ya never know what smart resourceful women will do. Our brilliant victoria…
Honey traps, fish gods, and the ark of the covenant: The soap opera o…
If we could buy the exclusive film rights to just one book in the bible, it'd be Samuel. What? You'd say Genesis? Well that'd be a fun debate for a listener to start. But first, listen to this episode. We start by extending an invite to Pope Leo to come on the show as our first guest. Then we get i…
The busy hands and not-overly-pleasing face of Ruth
Who doesn't love a sturdy woman? We imagine they were beloved before the book of Ruth made them holy, but boy did that bible chapter seal the deal.

A woman’s victory is punishment for a man who lacked faith & other nu…

If you're going to be so strict, you could at least tell us where to …
If you take your victorian feminism with a heavy dose of sassy brilliance, this is the episode for you. The laws in the previous Old Testament books were so good, they created a dupe chapter called Deuteronomy. It is full of ...
If there's one thing you can count on, it's the book of Numbers
The hosts of this episode are using organic performance enhancement: recording way later in the evening than usual. Side effects include increased cusses. Makes sense for an episode that covers the chapter of the Woman's Bi...
Show tunes, wizards, and meats: Leviticus for the rest of us
In this episode we don our finest (rented) Victorian frocks (that you can see if you check out our TikTok ) and dive into the 19th century feminist analysis of Leviticus. It's pretty much the how to live rules & regulations s...
