This week, recorded live at The Complex Hollywood in Los Angeles, California, Allison and Max tell the stories of two women whose accomplishments changed everything. The first, a scientist married to one of the most famous men in the last century, most likely played a pivotal part in his work; the second, an African warrior queen, brought her country to the peak of its power and wealth: Mileva Marić and Queen Amina of Zaria. Then, Max and Allison are joined onstage by the co-creators of Ctrl Alt Delete: Roni Geva & Margaret Katch! /

This week, Allison and Max are joined by Liz and Riley to discuss 3 women who ignored the probable to do the impossible. The first, a woman who single-mindedly pursued her childhood passion, shattered a glass ceiling; the second, a legend and goddess revered the world over, started life as a poor fisherman’s daughter; and the third, a radical revolutionary, helped shape the civil rights movement in the 1960s: Beverly Bass, Mazu, and Kathleen Neal Cleaver.

This week, Max and Allison are joined by Liz and Riley to discuss 3 women who defied the expectations of their time. The first, a queen whose life could fill 10 seasons of a cable tv show, kept Europe on its toes with her every move; the second, a woman whose advocacy made her the first Native-American woman to argue in front of the US Supreme Court, literally chose her hill to die on; and the third, the first female stunt woman in the United States, was a master of reinventing herself to stay on top: Queen Christina of Sweden, Eliza “Lyda” Conley, and Helen Gibson! /

This week, Allison and Max discuss two sovereigns whose reigns changed the course of history. The first, the longest ruler in Russian History, presided over a revitalization of Russia that brought it into a new age; the second, the first Habsburg in 300 years to balance the royal budget, successfully defended her kingdom before devoting herself to her people: Catherine the Great of Russia and Maria Theresa of Austria. /

This week, Max and Allison discuss two ladies who ruled over ancient Egypt. The first, a queen whose successors tried to erase from history, was both mortal ruler and godlike presence; the second, one of the most famous woman in all of ancient history, was so much more than the seductive temptress Rome made her out to be: Nefertiti and Cleopatra. /
