Hi y’all! Apologies for getting a bit behind. Health and some recording-related conundrums have set us back a little longer than expected. We should resume regular episodes again very soon! Thanks for continuing to follow us and stay posted! ‼️ Drawing by your favorite pun-loving podcast host

Apologies for the radio silence, lovely listeners! Our next episode, part two of the history of the qipao or cheongsam, was supposed to air Monday. Unfortunately, I have been fighting a stubborn case of laryngitis. 😷 Fear not! History Unhemmed (and hopefully most if not all of my voice) will be back on MONDAY JUNE 3, 2024. Be sure to tune in! 😊

🚨 Check out our latest episode! Enjoy the first of a two part series on the qipao or cheongsam from its roots in 20th century feminism through its place in modern overseas Chinese communities.

Our last episode about went into great detail about the dance craze of the same name. Found this lovely example while out and about the other day. And…alas no, the music on this post is not ‘The Fort Hamilton Polka Redowa’ (although if someone does make a recording, please let us know)!

Yesterday was the International Day of Transgender Visibility. Over the course of the last several decades, transgender models from Tracey Norman, Tula, Teri Toye,and Connie Fleming to Isis King, Valentina Sampaio, Hari Nef, and Ariel Nicholson have had a profound impact on the fashion industry. In the 1960s, April Ashley paved the way.

We, at History Unhemmed, are delighted to be back with new episodes and are thrilled to be kicking off with the story of this incredible woman. Tune in on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Audible or wherever else you catch your favorite shows 🌈❤️
