They cover everything from the pill to debates about who should do the housework, bath-time workout or chuckling over Ovaltine ads. You will have the opportunity to revisit all the classics, from Cosmopolitan to Honey or Good Housekeeping. Mag Hags turns old magazine gems into fresh, laugh-out-loud conversations. Mag Hags is a society & culture podcast by Franki Cookney & Lucy Douglas.
