I'm Jonathan Kay.

And if you're a regular listener,

you'll know that I've been lucky enough to interview some pretty famous people on this show, like Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Stephen Pinker.

On today's show, likewise, I'll be interviewing, wait for it, an 80-year-old woman from Washington State who got

thrown out of her local swimming pool after freaking out on an employee in the

locker room. Okay I know that doesn't sound like A-list stuff, but trust me, this is going to be interesting.

You see, my guest name is Julie Jaman, and her date with Colette Podcasting Destiny

began on July 26th in the woman's locker room at the public pool in

Port Townsend, Washington. There she was at the local Y minding her own business

when she heard a man's voice.

And so she peaked out into the public change area and saw what to her eyes was a man.

What's worse, Miss Jemand said, this male-bodied person was within line of sight of elementary school-age

girls changing in and out of their bathing suits.

So Miss Jemann, who has a long history in the community as a feminist, did pretty much what you'd expect someone in her position to do.

She freaked out and asked this person to leave the locker room.

But of course times being what they are that's not where things ended
