This episode explores the history and importance of PAP smears in a comedic and informative way.

In this month's episode, Kate prepped some incredible bleedsearch for us all about PAP SMEARS. If you've ever wondered what the hell your gyno is doing up there, why it's important, who developed this test, who was married to the doctor who developed this test and what else was going on in the world when they were first taking a lil scrapper to cervixes... well, this episode covers it all. And like you have to ask, but yes - there is absolutely a song in this episode. So pop some speculums into your ear holes and hit play. (Don't have tiny speculums? Earbuds should also work fine.)
