Hollie Marquess Season 7 Episode 2

In episode 2 of this season, history graduate student Larry Zieammermann joins Hollie to talk about the intersection of baldness, patent medicines, and masculinity. We've covered patent medicines on this podcast before. If you haven't already, make sure to listen to season 2, episode 7 "Patent Medicines in the West" with Erin Adams, which is one of Hollie's all time favorite episodes. Larry's research focues on male balding in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
