"HAUNTED, HILARIOUS, HARROWING HISTORY!
Part ghost story, part secret history, part meta-podcast satire, A Simple Herstory was an exhilarating ride. What you assume will be a linear exploration of a little-known corner of American Presidential History explodes into a grotesque, panoramic survey of 19th-century society, mysticism, and gender inequality. It’s like reading a fat novel that surprises you with wild changes in font and typography, with startling pop-ups that come out of nowhere. If Ken Burns took a tab of acid and then went on all the rides at Coney Island, you might get something like this. Its Alice-in-Wonderland shifts in reality, its phantasmagoric ghost pageantry, its blend of voices overlapping and fighting to be heard—work brilliantly to create epic theater in our heads."
