Herstory Shelby Stockton

Today, Shelby and Amy tackle the world of handiwork. First, they share a household handy task in which they are proficient. (Amy's is quite impressive.) Next, Amy covers the Ladies Bridge - the Waterloo Bridge, built mostly by women during WWII. Shelby talks about Lillian Baumbach, the first woman to acquire a Master Plumber's license in 1951. 

Shelby is alone again, and she has chosen to utilize this time to discuss The American Plan: America's Forgotten Mass Imprisonment of Women Believed to be Sexually Immoral. Yup, it was a REAL thing. Google it - but listen to this episode first!

For the first time in Herstory herstory, we're doing a sequel with Girl Crushes! Amy discusses the fiery red-headed actress Rebecca Wisocky. Shelby continues her obsession with one of the stars of The Other Two, Heléne Yorke.

Shelby sits down with Radio and TV Host, Capri Cafaro, to discuss her diverse and eclectic life. She has truly done it all, from public service, to radio, to TV, and beyond! Her new travel and history series, America the Bountiful, is currently on Public TV nationwide - check your local listings. 

Houston - We do NOT have a problem. To celebrate the eclipse, Shelby and Amy explore the world of lady flight controllers. Amy discusses mechanical engineer and first woman to be chief flight director at NASA, Holly Ridings. Shelby talks about Marianne Dyson, a trailblazer in space exploration, writing, and advocacy.

Welcome to another Making Herstory! Today, Shelby sits down with Live Event Show Caller, Amanda Novoa. What's a show caller, you ask? That's the person with the headset who keeps your live shows, like the Oscars and Grammys, on schedule. It's a fascinating career, and Amanda talks about how she broke into the business, its pros and cons, and what it's like being a woman in a male-dominated field. Bonus: She has a soothing voice, so if you're having trouble sleeping, you can recycle the episode for bedtime.
