How fabulous to see you here. voice-verified

Thank you for dropping by once again. voice-verified

I will put the kettle on. voice-verified

But before we can go any further, I do have to tell you, and I will keep telling you this, this is an adult podcast, bugged by adults to other adults about adult things and adults away, covering arranged subjects. voice-verified

And you should be an adult too. voice-verified

And now we can have a cup of tea and crack on together. voice-verified

Take a seat! voice-verified

We are in Gay Paris 1925 and about to take in a show at the Tietre des Champs-Élysées. voice-verified

Backstage, a 19-year-old American dancer is about to introduce herself to Europe. voice-verified

Josephine Baker has come a long way from the poverty and segregation of St. voice-verified

Louis, but Paris doesn't know that yet. voice-verified

What it will soon know of her is her dancing. voice-verified

Outrageous expressions and her barely there costumes. voice-verified

And before long, a certain skirt made entirely out of bananas. voice-verified

But behind the scandalous performances, there's a woman learning just how powerful fame can be. voice-verified

Because one day, that fame won't just get her into Europe's biggest stages, it'll get her past Nazi checkpoints. voice-verified

and welcome back to Betwixt the Sheets, the history of sex scandal in society with me, Kate Lister. voice-verified

Of all the people's lives that we have covered on Betwixt the Sheets, this, Josephine Baker's, has to be one of the most remarkable. voice-verified

From poverty and segregation in America to being the toast of Europe for her outrageous performances, and the small matter of working as a spy against the Nazis in World War II. voice-verified

But I'm giving too much away, and trust me, there is so much more than that besides. voice-verified
