Chelsea and comedian Tocarra Mallard dive into Josephine Baker’s newly translated memoir, “Fearless and Free.” They explore how she danced her way to global stardom, secretly worked as a WWII spy for the French Resistance (yes, she smuggled German secrets on sheet music), and built a legacy as groundbreaking as it was complicated. Plus, a deep dive into her controversial Rainbow Tribe and the memoir’s wildest moments—including a psychic rabbit’s foot and some truly questionable recipes.Trigger warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including abuse, suicide, and antisemitism.
