What do you call a group of women? Charles and Laura are recruited to articulate gossip, that which determines a social fabric, which was so threatening to patriarchal order that it sparked the witch trials, and may take up the majority of our speaking lives. We talk 16th century torture devices, manicures in the era of grooming, monkeys, and feminism.

This episode was recorded live at the Art Gallery of NSW's Sydney Cinemathèqué. Thank you to Michael Sun for including us in his elegantly programmed series, Gossip. This podcast was recorded preceding our introduction for a screening of George Cukor's The women (1939).
