Host, Erin Whitehead, invites the lovely host of The Dirty Bits Podcast, Tawny Platis, to the podcast to delve into the history of the bra, thanks to the wonderful suggestion from Rhett Hall of The Braintrust Brothers Network! From Ancient Greece, to Roman Times (where they thought big boobs were ridiculous), all the way to the first patent of the modern bra in America, and through the “burning of the bra” time in the 60’s (um…. did that actually happen?)… we learn all about the COMPRESSIVE history of the brassiere. Bonus, we also learn all about the history of Erin’s boobs. Good times.  Have men always been boob guys, will they always be? Is Erin looking for a delorean so she can go live back in Ancient Greece? How fun would being a wet nurse during the Medieval Times be? “Compress the Breast”, can you say that three times fast? During what time period did women rock the “two doves perched atop my breasts,” look? What role does Sir Mix A Lot have in the history of the bra? Anti-corset activists? Yes. And the

Host Erin Whitehead invites fellow podcaster and self-proclaimed lover of anything geek, Regina Drury of The Biz Geek, to have a conversation that makes it clear Erin knows nothing about Star Trek, can’t keep names of actresses (or what shows they are on) straight, and probably shouldn't really be hosting a podcast at all!
