Whenever I feel sad about the state of things, I listen to an episode and feel hopeful and inspired.
I have learned about so many truly great women from Katie and Olivia. From Frances Perkins to Genghis Khan’s daughters to The Great Sandwina, there are women throughout history who are brought to light and I love knowing who they were!
A well researched podcast marred by the useless cohost who chimes in HMMM or WOAHHHHH every other sentence and literally adds zero other value. Please omit this person it’s so distracting and amateur.
I go back and forth about WhatsHerName.
The hosts’ verbal mannerisms always annoy me, but I keep listening to be inspired and educated about forgotten and almost forgotten women.

This approach rings sour in my ears after the recent election.The histories are so important to reinstate but I need a different tone. I did love the music in Pasha’s episode is so beautiful. But having it play in the background makes it sound like im in a middle eastern restaurant. Do we american women have this kind of cour... more
