On this episode, to celebrate Women's History Month, I talk to my friend Theo (they/he) about Giacomo Puccini's La fanciulla del West. It's a love story set in the Wild West about Minnie, a saloon owner who gets caught up with a bandit on the run. We chat about the aesthetics of the West, how tropes are useful in relating to stories, and why we admire Minnie, her bandit, and their relationship. Yeehaw!
Update: Since the recording and release of the episode, Tess changed his name to Theo. While episode title and info has been updated with new naming, the original recording has not been altered.
