Hello, and welcome back to health history I'd like to fuck with Dawn Brodey. I'm Dawn Brodey. And you can now find hills with the cool kids in the den. That's the deluxe edition network. To hear other great podcasts in the den, follow the link in the show notes or go to deluxe edition network.com. This episode is so special to me. And I'm very glad you're here. Because if you're a regular health listener, you know that I'll help anyone, anywhere anytime. My guests are as varied as the episode topics. I've been joined by friends, colleagues, strangers, authors, neighbors, and even family, my husband and Melby and I helped Krampus and Pompeii and my dear old mom joined me for an episode on the radium girls, that then this spring, a unicorn opportunity. Mom was coming back to town and my two big sisters were coming with her. So after a little bribery, just to say whiskey and the rural Wisconsin card game called sheephead. They agreed to help with me.

I chose a subject that can leave even the most verbose among us suddenly tight lipped, so to speak, the history of the vibrator it's a surprising and invigorating story and I think you'll agree with me that there was no better time and no better company with which to tell it. Thanks for joining us. Let's get started
