Vulgar History: Revolution International, part 31: Lola Montez and the Gold Rush (part 2/2)
Part two of our exploration of Ireland's most scandalous heroine covers the second part of Lola Montez's life. Can't mention any details here, it's all best experienced as guest Allison Epstein (A Tip for the Hangman) did, by just vibing out while I tell the tale.

** I forgot to announce Lola’s total scandilicious score in the episode, scroll to the bottom of these notes to see what it is **
