Next is inventor Mary Kenner, who invented a ton of stuff, including the belted sanitary napkin. 

They say 50% of marriages end in divorce, so that's a lot of material for this podcast! Covering divorcees in this ep was a blast. Shelby goes WAY back to the Roman Empire (something men apparently think of on the daily) and discusses the tumultuous end of Fausta's arranged marriage to Constantine. Amy makes it a bit more current while she explains the MANY divorces of screen siren Lana Turner.
