Biting All The Apples is an unhinged bookclub-ish conversation that channels the sassy wisdom of long dead victorian feminists to analyze the puritanical influences still messing with our world today. We start off with the 1895 best seller "The Woman's Bible" by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Each week we cover their 19th century feminist analysis of a book in the bible and ponder, laugh, and cry over the similarities to the issues of today. This is a great listen for anyone interested in the patri ...

Who doesn't love a sturdy woman? We imagine they were beloved before the book of Ruth made them holy, but boy did that bible chapter seal the deal. Greatest PR campaign for the selfless busy lady archetype, rivaled only by, maybe, the Marlboro Man. Join us for this lively episode where we discuss what the victorian feminists discussed about the boo…

After a little trip down first communion memory lane with your cradle catholic cohosts, we dive into the book of Judges. Holy moly is it full of female baddies. Unfortunately, they are used much like a mob wives in the picture shows: as a plot points. In the case of the book of Judges, their heroism is even used to humiliate a guy for not believing…

In this not to be missed episode, SK & JV marvel at the 19th century literary reviews of the the first part of The Woman's Bible before digging into the book of Joshua. It includes remakes of all of Moses greatest feats and tricks! And phrases like, "whinst not whence they were". The Victorian feminists respond with equal eloquence and spice. More …

If you take your victorian feminism with a heavy dose of sassy brilliance, this is the episode for you. The laws in the previous Old Testament books were so good, they created a dupe chapter called Deuteronomy. It is full of rules and evidence of a cranky god. We discuss the exasperated, yet fiery wit of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's criticisms. She tak…

The hosts of this episode are using organic performance enhancement: recording way later in the evening than usual. Side effects include increased cusses. Makes sense for an episode that covers the chapter of the Woman's Bible about Numbers. The book that covers the no-nonsense directives of the big guy in the sky on hot topics like inheritance, co…

In this episode we don our finest (rented) Victorian frocks (that you can see if you check out our TikTok) and dive into the 19th century feminist analysis of Leviticus. It's pretty much the how to live rules & regulations section of the bible and you will be amazed and depressed at how these thousand(s) of years old ideas are still running the sho…

If you've ever wondered why women are terrified of being seen as selfish or why others judge women by how much they do for other people, you need not look any further than everyone's favorite two thousand year old book. “We are so accustomed to the assumption that men alone form a nation, that we forget to resent texts such as these.” - Elizabeth C…

The knowledge quest continues. Our 19th century writer pals have yet to find a single place in Genesis where anyone anywhere says women are inferior and subordinate to men. We crack open the rest of the chapter and discuss the sass attacks our Victorian luminaries launched on the wiley translators over things like floods and pregnancy. Additional i…

Ok now we are getting into it with Genesis! Listen in on our reaction to reading The Woman's Bible take on the start of everything. The beginning of earth, animals, humans, and of course, sin. Stanton and her pals make some convincing points about reading Eve as the complex main character. They highlight where the wiley english interpreters took li…

It's our intro episode! The one where we tell you why you should be jazzed about revisiting Elizabeth Cady Stanton's The Woman's Bible with us. Even if you aren't particularly religious, your life is still impacted by the morality and hierarchy dictated in the Bible. 130 years ago, Stanton and some of her scholarly friends took a look at how the ge…
