España talks about one of her new favorite podasts: "Stuff You Missed in History Class" from the 'How Stuff Works' series of podcasts. It's hosted by two women (Deblina Chakraborty, Sarah Dowdey) who give you tidbits of history that are fascinating, which would have made history a lot more interesting in school

Jade & Sandy talk about two very interesting historical figures
- The Empress of China Wu Zetian (625-705 AD) -- the only female emperor in Chinese http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Zetian
- Grace Hopper, AKA Amazing Grace, a navy officer and the first programmer to create a compiler, and she may have coined the term “debugging”
