Episode notes

In november of that year, south dakota voted to extend its residency requirement. And so it's no longer an easy escape. The colony in sufals is shuddered from the distance we are at now. So we've realized that this relief valve of of a colony, of a place to go, is necessary.

This episode picks up where Episode 193 left off. We suggest you listen to them in order.

April White’s book is The Divorce Colony: How Women Revolutionized Marriage and Found Freedom on the American Frontier.
