The Prettiest Boy at the Miners Ball from Our Ancestors Were Messy

We've got a very special true love story for you from special guest Nichole Hill, creator of the new podcast Our Ancestors Were Messy. Nichole joins Hang Up's Caitlin Pierce and Kim Bryan ("Sasha") to take us back to the Wild West for a tale of heartbreak, disgusting miners camps, the origins of hanky code, and murder! And you already know... in the end, there's a twist. Our Ancestors Were Messy is a podcast covering the gossip, scandals, and pop culture that made headlines in the Black newspapers of segregated communities during the pre-Civil Rights era. On each episode, host Nichole Hill and her guests follow the story of an ancestor who went searching for opportunity, adventure, liberation, and love and made a mess - and eventually history - along the way.
