Girl Historians

"The energy... it's like we drank a bottle of wine before recording this."

Blair and Carley review some of the major Titanic conspiracies that have popped up in the last century (fake ships?! JP Morgan?! Mummies?! Different definitions of ice?!) but get very side-tracked on Anne with an E, cults, the royal family, Joe Biden and a chain, "edgy" comedians, hating Charles Dickens, strong chins, and more singing. If you've thought "I wish they wouldn't talk about the Titanic so much on this podcast," this the episode for you.

Not a joke, this took almost 5 hours to record. It felt unhinged. We had to stop and start several times.

Come on the podcast, Rachel Zegler.

Comedians Blair MacMillan and Carley Thorne have spent months obsessing over the Titanic. Like, pre-submersible. In season 1 of Girl Historians, they'll (genuinely) recap the history of the famous 1912 disaster, and (less genuinely) try to figure out: what actually happened?

Carley and Blair celebrate our Lord and Savior, Robert D. Ballard, seemingly the only person racing to find the Titanic's wreck who wasn't just promoting his ping pong business or whatever. Plus: getting humbled, Enola Holmes, waiting for the invitation, Jack Grimm, certain Toronto mansions, teachers getting too method in history class, Paul Mescal, mispronouncing words, and the year is, famously, 2023.

We love you, Rachel Zegler.

Everyone asked for it, so here’s an episode where Carley and Blair (try not to) talk about the two dogs that were executed for witchcraft. In a new Girl Historians tradition, it only took 5 or 6 episodes into the season to lose their minds. There’s lots of singing.

Also: Blair won the Princess Diana award at Toronto Sketchfest, lots of singing, Breaking Bad spoilers, bad drug experiences, addressing a Truthtanic controversy, St. Paddy’s Day, James Acaster’s new “Hecklers Welcome” stand-up show, comments on the podcast, hog videos, your mom’s weird friends, little pugs hexing you with crusty white eyes, defending Rent and Tick Tick Boom, secret Letterboxd accounts, Carley’s sister’s enemy, Blair crying, and a musical finale.
