2020 presents the opportunity to be yet another historical election. This is the first time an Asian-American has been on a major party ticket. It is also only the fourth time a woman has made it onto a major party ballot. In the special episode, Kaitlyn and Taylor have a candid conversation about the four women who have held a major party nomination and the challenges women face in both presidential, and political, campaigns. Don’t forget to vote today!

Happy Halloween...well, almost! Kaitlyn and Taylor have dressed up for this episode in a woman they want to discuss. The episode will be split in two parts so that they can cover each woman. First, Taylor will discuss Mabel Vernon. Then Kaitlyn will cover Florence Nightingale. Trick or Treat!

Have you seen Mrs. America? If you have, you likely have some knowledge of Phyllis Schlafly. While she may not be the first person to come to mind when you hear feminism, she was, by definition, a feminist. Kaitlyn and Taylor may have their own views on politics, but they wanted to make sure to honor all women who have entered the political arena. As such, the duo will be having a candid conversation about Phyllis Schlafly. She was a conservative author. She held conservative social and political views, opposed feminism and abortion, and successfully campaigned against ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

This month, America lost an icon. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg served on the Supreme Court for 27 years. There was a reason she earned the title  “Notorious RBG.” She was a huge inspiration to Kaitlyn and Taylor and, while they are saddened by her passing, they are so honored to bring you an episode chronicling Justice Ginsberg’s long list of accolades and “firsts.”
