It would be cool if y'all did a mini series about the powerful women that were lobotomized. Their stories are so desperately sad
In fairness to Peron, the United States also imported Nazis to help us fight against the Soviet Union. It was called Operation Paperclip and it was all about beating them to the moon to show scientific dominance. Remember in Apollo 13, Tom Hanks says in a fake accent, “ I vonder vhere Gunter Wendt?” Yeah, he was one of the Nazis. Not our best look but yeah, we totally did that too. 🫠
I would love to learn more about operation paperclip. Do you have any docs or pods you'd recommend
I also recommend covering Bolivia’s first female president, Lidia Gueiler, whose cousin was Raquel Welch! (And whose other cousin overthrew her, but she was also a diplomat in the 80s.)
Very soap opera dialogue likewise, but those candidates would always respect the bell that marked the end of debate time
Also keep your eyes peeled on Mexico next week: they are having presidential elections and both of the top two candidates are women, and watching the debates was very much having a moment where the dialogue could’ve come straight from one of your episodes
The front runner if she is elected, would not only be Mexico’s first female president, but also their first Jewish president
Really awesome as usual! Maybe a future episode could be Isabel Peron. The first female president of Argentina.
Idea for summer episodes: what about covering scandalous popes?
