Episode 09 - Kaethe Paulus

The Dead Ladies Show is a series of entertaining and inspiring talks about women who achieved amazing things against all odds, presented live on stage in Berlin at ACUD. This podcast is based on that series. In this episode, we soar to new heights as DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire explores German ballooning pioneer Kaethe Paulus. Plus, our other co-founder Florian Duijsens tells us about his growing collection of Dead Lady memoirs, many of which are woefully out of print, and we hear an excerpt from “Shelley II,” the scandalous yet circumspect memoir of actress Shelley Winters. Find pictures of Käthe’s daring days and life-saving parachute invention, and check out Florian’s fabulous reading list at: deadladiesshow.com/2018/05/24/podcast-9-kathe-paulus
