Buzzed and Baffled

Episode 8: Resurrection, Rebellion and Robes

In this glass-clinking episode of Buzzed and Baffled, the wine flows as one of our hosts dives into the baffling true story of the Quaker Universal Friend—once known as Jemima Wilkinson.

Grab your goblet—this one’s got resurrection, rebellion, and robes.
