We don't know how it took us 6 seasons but we're joined by our unofficial podcast twins, the Hashtag History podcast!!! Leah and Rachel join the fray today to discuss eugenics and the forced sterilization of thousands of Latinas in California throughout the 20th century. There is also a fair amount of Natalie bullying. Hashtag History covered this story in their own episode 89, check it out.

More on Rachel, Leah and Hashtag History: Rachel is a fun-loving, kind-hearted gal who loves coffee and long walks on the beach, If you catch her after a cocktail or two, you may find her passionately discussing one of two things: 1) The erasure of women from History; or 2) The various JonBenet Ramsey theories.


Leah is an introverted extrovert who will take any and every opportunity to eat, drink, and spend time with friends. She is an event-planner by day, an avid Netflix-watcher by night, and is very passionate about font choices.


The Hashtag History podcast focuses on telling stories of History's greatest stories of controversy, conspiracy, and corruption.
