Hello, I'm Beckett Graham.
And I'm Susan Ballenweider of the History Chicks podcast.
What did you ever learn about history when you were growing up?
Wars, dates, famous men of science and literature.
What's missing?
Curiously, 50% of the population, and we didn't think that was acceptable.
Over at the History Chicks podcast, we tell you the stories of famous women from history, and we make them come to life, relate them to the modern day, give you a complete picture of their world, and incidentally, some facts for the next dinner party or water cooler session.
Try this one.
Without Lucille Ball, we wouldn't have Star Trek.
See how that goes.
The history chicks.
Two women, half the population.
Several thousand years of history.
Welcome to the Moth podcast.
I'm Chloe Salmon, your host for this episode.
On Thursday, September 12, we had our very first story slam in Kansas City, Missouri.
It was an incredible night at a place called Knuckleheads, which has this super cool honky tonk vibe.
The atmosphere was electric.
I mean, just check out the crowd.
Welcome to the inaugural story slam here in beautiful Kansas City.
