What do a flirtatious gambling double agent in World War II? An opera singer who burned down an

honorary to Kidnapper lover and a pirate queen who walked free with all of her spoils, haven't common.

They're all real women who were left out of your history books.

You can hear these stories and more on the Womanica podcast. Check it out on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.

All I'm going to hear is your girl Amara La Negra and I have some big news. The exact amount of podcasts is back for season two.

I am so happy to be sharing this new journey with all of you. I'm going to be talking about all the challenges of being an entrepreneur,

businesswoman, and doing it all as a single mom. We're still going to be keeping it spicy with a touch of sassong.

Listen to exactly Amara as part of the Michael Food Out Podcast Network available on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
