We're headed to Ireland this week to talk about Peg Plunkett, a scandalous and influential figure in 18th-century Dublin. We're joined this week by Karyn Moynihan: Irish person, co-host of Double Love: The Sweet Valley High Podcast, and designer of several Vulgar History merch items.

Pace yourselves, because this is part one a multi-week extravaganza! Herman, my pills!
