    108: Virginia Hall: The Most Dangerous Spy of WWII
    May 17 2025

    Virginia Hall was a Baltimore socialite, tomboy, aspiring diplomat, and an amputee. She went by nicknames such as "Fighting Blade" and "Donna Juanita." She spoke six languages and could make her own cheese. Her biggest accomplishment? Giving the Nazis what-for during WWII. She became irreplaceable as she helped coordinate intel and resources to resistance fighters in France, right under the Gestapo's nose. And she'll have to run for her life as one of the most cruel men in history tries to track down 'The Limping Lady." Join Morgan and Emiliegh as they discuss her life and how this amazing woman helped change the world.

    104: The Chinese Exclusion Act
    Apr 17 2025
    In the 1850s, thousands of Chinese immigrants came to the US for the gold rush. Many white Americans did not like that. In the 1880s, Congress passed legislation limiting the immigration and rights of an entire ethnic group, the first and only time to do so. Listen how immigrants persisted anyway, despite the violence and discrimination they faced.
