Hello, Hello, Hello, Hey everyone this is Mary.

And before we get into the episode, I just wanted to take a quick second and

talk about my new newsletter called

Landline. You know I grew up actually calling people on a landline and I have

So if that describes you, please find me on sub-stack.

You can find it at Mary.m Mahoney dot sub dot Substack.com or a link in the episode notes of this episode.

You can also find it by going to my Instagram at Mimi Mahoney.

It's me talking about something that I'm obsessed with that week. You also get a weekly email from me of all my links and recommendations, so the things that I'm reading, watching,

You also get access to threads where folks talk about things in pop culture and history,

so it's a really great community to be a part of and you get

digital zines for me so from time to time I love to make a zine and share it out for

women's history month I'm currently working on a scene honoring, you know, Divas who have truly
