#5 Woman vs. Wildlife & A Quaker On A Mission

May 16, 2025 • Mostly Unsung • Season 1 • Episode 5

Welcome back to another episode of Mostly Unsung!

Get settled in with all your nice bits: A drink, maybe a little snack, and buckle in for two new tales from history, complete with the best outtakes.

Andrea tells us of fox hunting fashion designer who came to a very sticky end, and wonders if the foxes got away with it, all while letting the power of the bleep button go to her head.

Annie loses the ability to speak for a moment, then gathers herself for long enough to tell the story of a respected Quaker woman determined to help women and children in prison.
