The Crackpot Crones Podcast
crackpotcrones
The Crackpot Crones are a comedy duo. Terry Baum, slightly world-renowned lesbian playwright, and Carolyn Myers, retired warrior princess of comedy, perform audio sketches about conflicted goddesses, swashbuckling dykes, and octogenarian political activists. They also swap stories of tripping the light fantastic since the 1960s with their equally eccentric and opinionated theatrical feminist friends. *A LILITH WOMEN‘S THEATER PROJECT*
