Insightful conversations, humour and goodwill. What’s not to love? I look forward to every Tuesday. Thank you Anita.
Wow wow wow Anita. I listened to your interview with the phenomenal Giselle Pelicot and I was riveted , moved ,humbled , inspired.
Your interview was so skilled . You are genuine and warm and it shines through. I love what you’re doing. It really is the best podcast out there. I literally wait for the next episode to drop. Thank you to you and all your team . Bravo 🙌🏽
It was great to hear this interview, but bizarre in a podcast that is all about acknowledging women that the female interpreter was not credited - at the beginning of the podcast it was not even clear if the voice we were hearing was Gisele herself or not…
Interpreting is extremely highly skilled and for me the omission was jarring set against the incredible story of Gisele Pelico
Love this podcast already x
Loved listening to the first conversation with Meera Syall. As a long unapologetically defiant woman, so much resonated, I felt immensely nourished and uplifted. BTW my Sisters of Defiance dance track has always been, She Sells Sanctuary, The Cult.
