Anais Nin: The Godmother of Smut

Long before Fifty Shades of Grey, Anaïs Nin was putting female desire, forbidden fantasies, and scandalous secrets onto the page. From a steamy affair with Henry Miller to two secret husbands and a shocking family secret, her life was arguably wilder than her fiction. But Anaïs spent decades editing her diaries and reinventing herself, leaving behind one deliciously messy question: who was the real Anaïs Nin?

Gloria Steinem: The It Girl Behind a War on Women

From going undercover as a playboy bunny to going through her own illegal abortion, her story takes us through the wild and complicated history of the women’s movement. This week on Petticoat Revolution, we’re remembering the woman who helped shape what is possible for women today. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jane Austen: The Original Lady of Yearning

Jane Austen never got the sweeping love story that she wrote so beautifully about, but her own experiences with love, money, marriage, and heartbreak shaped some of the greatest romances in literary history. From her flirtation with Tom Lefroy to the marriage proposal she famously reconsidered, we get to know the real woman behind Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, her fight to become a published author, and why we’re still hopelessly in love with her stories more than 2 centuries later.

Don’t love the guests

Oct 16

Fearlesslove26

I’m a huge Going West fan - I’m even a patreon subscriber, so I was thrilled when this history pod was announced (especially since Right Answers Mostly is my other top listen podcast) but I’m really disliking the guests. I’m listening to learn the history and so far Emma and Diablo have really taken me out of the episodes and makes the history somewhat difficult to follow. I don’t care to really know these people better - I have other pods like Amy Poehlers or Monica Lewinskys podcasts for more human interest pieces. I’m hoping they look at some of the feedback and implement changes to make this a great pod!
Boring topics

I love Going West. I also love history, so I was super excited about this podcast despite the backlash about another women ran history podcast. I didn’t even know about Right Answers Only before all the backlash comments. I keep trying to listen, but the topics and content is boring. Like another review said, it’s very scripted…too scripted. I keep hoping the topics will get better because I really do want to love it and support Daphne.
Potential is there

I loooove Right Answer Mostly so when I heard about another girly history podcast I was excited, despite the backlash! I figured this podcast would be a good supplement to RAM! I listened to the first three episodes and it’s just soooooo scripted. Even when they’re adding their personal notes/touches, it just feels so robotic and a little uncomfortable. I’ll keep listening as a supplement to RAM, but it is getting to be a harder listen. If these hosts can work on being more comfortable and less robotic, I think there’s something here….it feels like these two maybe lack passion for history almost? They don’t seem as interested in history as other similar podcasts and maybe that’s why it’s coming off super scripted and robotic.
Love this show

Awesome show. I felt like I was in setting of Austenian England. Definitely chuckled the a few times too 🤣 Really enjoyed this episode. Looking forward to the next one 😊
