Welcome back - Coucou everyone!
Trigger warning: sexual abuse, rape
For our first episode back from our summer break, we go to Türkiye to discuss a woman who came from the bottom and rose all the way to the top! Theodora's enigmatic nature and beauty won the hearts of many men, however the most impressive part is her feminist legislation that was passed years ahead of it's time (or right on time, if you ask us). Cat then tells us about the history of Lokum or Turkish Delight. So grab your kavfe (coffee) or çay (tea) and come with us to Türkiye!
