Hey, before we get started, here's a quick word from my friends at Girl Tales.

Once upon a time, a knight in shining armor slew a dragon, while a princess was locked

in a tower we p-

Cool story, bro, but let us take it from here.

Girl Tales is a kids podcast of feminist stories for a new generation.

Girls go on adventures, take risks, and become their own heroes.

We've got new stories every Monday.

Find Girl Tales wherever you get your podcasts, and join the fairy tale revolution today.

Okay, let's rock.

Yes, hello, my name is Mix Sullivan, and welcome to the Past and the Curious.

This is the first of a series that we are calling the Underwear Chronicles.

There are 14 chapters that I wrote for a book, and the book is not going to get published.

So I'm giving them to you one month at a time, one chapter at a time.

So in between regular episodes of the Past and the Curious, you're going to get one of these.

So that's why we're kind of at the halfway point.

Now, these are going to be a little different because there's only one story.

It was written for a certain format in a book.

So it's a little bit longer than our normal stories, but you're just going to get one,

and then in a couple weeks I'll be back with a normal type of episode.

And I do want to point out that a few of the stories that will come later are stories

that I have featured in a different format in the Past and the Curious.

So there will be some, not they're not the exact same thing.
