Thanksgiving is right around the corner for my American listeners, so let’s revisit an early episode of Bitchy History today, because it’s seasonal. Remember that Thanksgiving is a propaganda holiday and the Puritans sucked. But while it may be a sham, as Buffy reminds us, it’s a sham with yams.

Bitchy History
Part history lesson, part feminist rant. Bitchy History is what happens when a cultural historian finally snaps. Each episode unravels the myths America tells about itself, exposes the gender politics underneath, and traces the lineage of our modern disasters straight back to their historical roots. It’s educational, cathartic, and probably banned in Florida.
