WEEK TWENTY-SIX: Fashion

Birthday girl Lena Horne starts the 1917 Podcast out right with Stormy Weather. Then, during the talk of 1917 fashions, the podcast experiences its own form of storminess, in the form of a mike that stops working about 25 minutes before Jeff and Vinnie are aware of it. This one's skippable, folks, or at the very least scrubbable to 37:30, when the audio kinda sorta resumes.
