  Episode 385: Hoes of History: Beatrix Potter

  Sep 30, 202652 min

  Beatrix Potter was far more than the creator of Peter Rabbit. Born into a wealthy Victorian family, she grew up isolated from other children and found companionship in animals, which became the inspiration for the imaginative worlds she created. Her artistic talent eventually led to the publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit , but Potter's life took a remarkable turn beyond her books and illustrations. Explore her unconventional path from beloved children's author and illustrator to farmer, conservationist, and champion of the English countryside. From heartbreak and independence to her life in the Lake District and her dedication to preserving the land she loved, Beatrix Potter built a life that was very much her own.

  Episode 383: Hoes of History: Hilma af Klint

  Sep 2, 20261h 1m

  Hilma af Klint was painting the future before the world was ready to see it. A classically trained Swedish artist, she secretly created enormous, abstract works filled with geometric shapes, vivid colors, and mysterious symbols—years before artists like Kandinsky and Mondrian became famous for abstraction. Deeply influenced by spiritualism, séances, and the belief that she was receiving messages from beyond, Hilma produced hundreds of paintings that she ultimately instructed should remain hidden for decades after her death. When the art world finally discovered her work, it sparked a long-overdue reevaluation of who truly pioneered abstract art.

  Episode 382: Hoes of History: Anne-France Dautheville

  Aug 19, 202650 min

  In the 1970s, when solo motorcycle travel was considered a man's world, Anne-France Dautheville simply decided she was going to ride into it. A French journalist, writer and adventurer, Anne-France first discovered long-distance motorcycle travel in 1972, when she became the only woman among dozens of riders in the Paris-to-Ispahan Orion Raid. She continued into Afghanistan and Pakistan, and returned to France determined to prove that she could go farther. In 1973, riding a small Kawasaki, Anne-France became the first woman to travel around the world alone by motorcycle. Her journey took her through Canada, Alaska, Japan, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey and Europe, a roughly 20,000-kilometer adventure undertaken decades before GPS, smartphones or the conveniences of modern solo travel. But Anne-France's story isn't simply about motorcycles. It's about what happens when a woman refuses to accept the limitations other people place on her. After facing rumors and skepticism within the motorcycle world, she answered not with an argument, but with an even bigger adventure. She turned her travels into books, including Une Demoiselle sur une Moto and Et J'ai Suivi le Vent , and continued exploring the world on two wheels for years.

  Liz Sheridan, the actress best known for her memorable roles as Jerry Seinfeld's mother on Seinfeld and the lovable neighbor Mrs. Ochmonek on ALF .

We'll also discuss her fascinating romance with James Dean years before he became a Hollywood icon—a relationship she later chronicled in her memoir. From Broadway productions and television guest appearances to her late-career success in two of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, Liz Sheridan's story is one of perseverance, reinvention, and finding success on her own timeline.
