History loves to highlight the loudest voices—but so many brilliant women were the true architects behind revolutions in thought, science, and sound, only to be buried in the footnotes or erased entirely. In this episode, we bring light to the women whose legacies shaped the world—and yet, whose names remain forgotten by most. You’ll meet the woman who taught Socrates—yes, Socrates—laying the intellectual groundwork for Western philosophy. You’ll hear the story of a brilliant human computer whose calculations sent astronauts to the moon while NASA basked in the spotlight. We’ll amplify the legacy of a guitar-slinging powerhouse whose gritty, electrifying playing birthed what we now call rock and roll—long before the genre had a name, long before the men who got famous for her sound. And we'll honor the Mazatec mushroom priestess whose scared psilocybin ceremonies bridged ancient wisdom and modern psychedelic science. These incredible women weren’t just behind the scenes—they built the scenes. It’s time to remember them, honor them, and speak their names for all of the universe to hear.
