Ep229. An American Airman & The Lady of the Air
Manage episode 420784680 series 2563053
Secret double lives! Aerial jail breaks! Extreme sandwiches! This week's episode has it all. First, Emily explores the history of LGBTQ+ folks in the military through the story of Master Sergeant Helen Godvin. Throughout her 20 year career in the Air Force, Helen was forced to live a double life due to the U.S. Military's homophobic policies. At work, she was a single straight woman and at home, she was a loving mother and partner. Despite the incredible stress and paranoia of hiding her sexuality from the military, Helen never faltered and never failed. Then, Kelley tells the twisty (and a little too relatable) tale of Nadine Vaujou who fell into a toxic relationship with a chronic criminal that spiraled into an epic prison break involving fruit, secret cake notes, and a helicopter. Chow down on some Milk Duds and stay strapped with nectarines because we're wining about herstory!
