The Spirits Are Telling Me Women Should Have Rights
Listen now
Description
To celebrate the spooky season, the girlies explore the world of psychics and spiritual mediums. They consider crucial questions such as: are psychics gifted visionaries or just talented scammers? Can ghosts be seen in photographs? Did spirits from the other side really endorse feminism? Is celebrity medium Tyler Henry the only true spiritualist? Digressions include things psychics should under no circumstances be allowed to tell you, our experience with spiritual scams, and one listener’s spooky premonition. This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Eliza McLamb and edited by Allison Hagan. Research assistance from Penelope Spurr.
