I don’t listen to very many podcasts but this one is excellent. Donna comes up with very interesting topics to cover - and dives in and explores them in a unique and interesting way.
I have learned a number of interesting things and feel like it helps me see the world in a more nuanced way.
Highly recommended!
I always look forward to the release of a new episode. They are informative, interesting, and always a new take on something pertinent to me. I am left feeling inspired and ready to take action.
I can’t wait to hear next episode. What a great journalistic job and interesting topics!!
I love Thread the Needle. Donna is so smart and thoughtful, and her topics are relevant. She always has great experts to explore and answer her questions - and they are questions that most of us wonder about. Although it would be ideal if feminism were straightforward, that’s often not the case. It’s great to have someone asking the questions we are all thinking! Can’t wait for the rest of the season.
Would recommend this podcast to almost anyone, it's well produced, funny, and tackles serious topics with the right amount of levity. I have enjoyed every episode.
