Four Boys from Liverpool and Their Hot Friend Pete Best
Girl Historians
08/16/24 • 98 min
Blair leads Carley through the history of the Beatles, covering their pre-fame years and dissecting what made John Lennon the way he was.
We also discuss poop in various forms, Idina Menzel, and Blair sings a scary e-girl song and kinda ruins the vibe for a full ten minutes. Always lots of fun on Girl Historians AS USUAL.

Girl Historians
02/07/25 • 118 min
On this ep of GH, the incredible Ashley Norton joins us to tell us the tale of Lizzie Borden, the alleged axe murderer of yore and star of the "Lizzie Borden took an Ax" poem.
Lizzie Borden took an ax
And gave her mother forty whacks,
And when she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
Slay!
