In 1911, a fire ripped through the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City, killing 146 garment workers, mostly young immigrant women locked inside. The tragedy shocked the nation and exposed the brutal realities of the industrial age. But before the flames, there was a teenager named Clara Lemlich who stood on a picket line and helped lead the largest strike of women workers in American history. This week, we unpack the story of how exploited immigrant girls changed labor forever, the horrifying conditions inside the Triangle factory, and how their fight gave birth to modern workplace protections we take for granted today.

Honestly you guys, we spend a good portion of the episode fangirling over Ethel Cain, but that’s not all. We dive into Taylor’s current album rollout (are we ruining the joy of music by trying to crack every code?), the limits of stan culture (we’ve GOT to cool it), and the unfolding Lana Del Rey vs. Ethel Cain discourse (a.k.a. the Kendrick vs. Drake drama for sad girls). We wrap things up with a full recap of the Ethel Cain concert, and spoiler alert, it was nothing short of transformative.

You Rammies asked, and we delivered: the White House wild child herself — Alice Roosevelt. Known for smoking in public, wearing pants, and speeding through D.C. in cars full of boys, Alice lived fast, loud, and unapologetically. Born into great wealth and even greater tragedy, her life was never conventional. At just 17, she swept into the White House and captured the nation’s imagination, becoming America’s first It Girl, and arguably the first influencer. A sharp political mind, a world-class gossip, and a woman who bent every rule to her will, Alice’s spirit is as enviable now as it was over a century ago.

Since when did homemaking in heels become aspirational again? This week, we're diving into the viral world of tradwifeculture: the soft lit, stay-at-home fantasy that’s taken over TikTok. We unpack how this ultra-feminine, domestic aesthetic is being glamorized by influencers like Nara Smith and Estee Williams, and ask: is this just cottagecore with better branding, or something more dangerous? We trace the history of the traditional housewife ideal, from 1950s suburbia to its deeply racist, exclusionary roots, and examine how today's revival may be less about “choice” and more about disillusionment with modern feminism. What happens when burnout meets nostalgia? And who gets left out when we romanticize the past? From parasocial sourdough to the performance of wifedom online, we're asking the bigger questions: Is tradwife culture empowering? Is it regressive? And what does it say about where we are right now?

Before there were finance bros, tech bros, or even frat bros… there was Teddy Roosevelt. This week, we dive into how a sickly rich kid from Manhattan reinvented himself as a rough-and-tumble cowboy, a Rough Rider, and eventually a trust-busting progressive president who helped pull America into the modern age. We break down how Teddy became the blueprint for performative masculinity (with a dash of genuine reform), his wild days wrangling cattle in the Badlands, and why he might just be the most interesting president no one really talks about enough. This is Teddy Roosevelt!
