Gretchen Whitmer | 1 Big Gretch
ILL REPUTE! with Sovereign Syre & Ela Darling
Growing up in a bipartisan household, with a father who worked for Republican Governor Milliken and a mother who was involved with Democratic administrations, Whitmer was exposed to different political perspectives. This upbringing taught her the importance of working across the aisle and contributed to her pragmatic, results-driven approach to governance. Her parents’ careers in law and public service also gave Whitmer a firsthand understanding of the power of government to affect people’s lives, a lesson that has been a guiding principle in her political career.

Tradwives!
ILL REPUTE! with Sovereign Syre & Ela Darling
"Trad wife" is short for "traditional wife." It refers to women who embrace ultra-traditional gender roles, often associated with 1950s-style domesticity. These women typically prioritize homemaking, child-rearing, and supporting their husbands over pursuing careers or personal ambitions outside the home. We've got three women to discuss today: Lauren Southern, born in 1995 in British Columbia, was a prominent figure in the alt-right movement of the 2010s. Hannah Neeleman, known online as Ballerina Farm, is a 34-year-old mother of eight who lives on a 328-acre farm in rural Utah. ...

Juana Maria | The Lone Woman of San Nicolas
ILL REPUTE! with Sovereign Syre & Ela Darling
This week on the podcast Sovereign Syre and Ela Darling discuss Juana Maria, better known to history as the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island. Juana Maria was a Native Californian woman who was the last surviving member of her tribe, the Nicoleño. She lived alone on San Nicolas Island off the coast of Alta California from 1835 until her removal from the island in 1853.

info_outlineWhen one of the smartest women in England, Anne Isabella Milbanke, fell in love with the most scandalous, and handsome, creative genius of his time, Lord Byron, the fallout was nothing less than a national scandal. Their young daughter, Ada, was caught in the crossfire. Ada spent her early childhood being used as a bargaining chip in her parents divorce, and a bitter reminder to Anne Milbanke, of Lord Byron's many betrayals. Desperate not to have her daughter turn out like her drunken, whore of an ex-husband, Milbanke insisted on Ada having the most exclusive STEM education money could buy. While Ada still showed the libertine tendencies of her father, she was almost predestined to become the Mother of Computer Science. This week, we look at the turbulent childhood and rigid education that brought Ada Lovelace right up to the doorstep of technological innovation.
