In a move that is NO WAY tied to the desire to ride the coattails of certain pop culture events, here's an episode from the past (and our first episode together at that!). We hope you gain something from our dive into the Woman in Pink before heading to the movies! Not that this re-release has anything to do with that. #MidgeMidge2024 Original show notes: Emily and Sara learn about Barbie's weird German origins, how many jobs she's had, and how many members of the Roberts family there really are. There's also dumb games, Emily forgets how to read and the girls pitch their Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse fancast.

In May of 1846, a group of 80-something pioneers set out for California and a new start. The problem is, some con man with an agenda had convinced these folks that he had a shortcut.

You can probably guess which one this episode is about.
