Shannon Faulkner & Sex Discrimination at The Citadel

Mike tells Sarah how a troll-ish experiment turned a South Carolina teenager into one of the most maligned women of the 1990s. Digressions include Sally Ride, Anne Hathaway and, as usual, "Newsies." Mike struggles with the word "infirmary" throughout.

The pictures of Shannon we discuss in this episode are here.
