Notorious Women

Comedy

Women can be heroic. Women can be horrific. We run the gamut, just like men. Hosted by Lavetta Cannon and Miriam Lipner-Brienik, Notorious Women is a weekly comedy podcast about some of history's most notorious women. We set out to round out women's lives, to make the experience of being a woman as interesting and as complicated as it is in reality. We are not historians, but we are interested in educating ourselves, others, and be funny doing it! We thrive on expanding what it means to be a woman, and on sharing the stories of remarkable women's lives. To all womanists — yes, that's a term — and feminists out there, if you have suggestions of notorious women (historical and contemporary) who fit this mold, from every walk of life, please write to us. Notorious Women is produced by Lavetta Cannon and Miriam Lipner-Brienik, mastered by Shaun Hettinger and Greg Williams of Audivita Studios, and executive produced by Christian D. Bruun and May Eleven Projects. email: notoriouswmpod@gmail.com instagram: instagram.com/notoriouswomenpodcast/ patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NotoriousWomen website: https://notoriouswomenpodcast.com/
