Herstory

Super Tuesday may have bummed us out, but it's Women's History Month and we are celebrating by discussing some of our favorite bits of Herstory. First, we get everything off our chest regarding the results of Super Tuesday and the disappointment we felt when our favorite female candidates dropped out of the presidential primary. Sometimes you just have to let it out! Then, Teresa dives in with some surprise factoids about a "shitty" situation regarding the women's restrooms in the Congress and Senate. Spoiler alert, it's a WTF situation! Next, we launch into some stories about our favorite women in history. From a long gone but never forgotten aviation pioneer to the first women elected as a New York Senator, these ladies knows how to roll with the punches and ignore all the hate. Finally, we round out this episode with our Fave Wave that is helping to solidify the often ignored profound place in history that women hold. If you can see it, you can be it! #ladywave

Women, Sports, & Kobe

As time marches on, doesn't it sound ludicrous that equality is still so far out of reach? Of course, BUT thanks to our much needed allies and advocates, progress is on the horizon. In this episode, we run the gamut of topics including a huge update on the fight to pass the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment), women who are infiltrating male dominated sports and making U.S. history, ways we can help women advance in sports, the impressive statement made by the U.S. men's soccer union in solidarity with their female counterparts, and one of the most talked about female sports advocates, Kobe Bryant. We also discuss whether or not it's fair for journalists to bring up the skeletons in Kobe's closet in the wake of his death as well as the visceral reactions Black Mamba fans had to Gayle King's interview with Lisa Leslie. Plus, our Fave Wave is making the support of equality smell as good as it should! #ladywave

Quarantine Edition

While we'd rather be together podcasting it up like normal, normal is now out the window thanks to the pandemic. So today we're just chatting and catching up like friends do but responsibly socially distanced of course. We answer hard hitting questions like what we've been up to, how we're handling being in quarantine, how Teresa avoids sugar, the ever present always negative news, whether technology can live up to actual human connection, and what we think of celebrity messages like, "We're in this together!" Spoiler alert...we most certainly are not. But we can all agree that our essential workers and folks on the frontline should be everyone's Fave Wave. Enjoy this random act of chatting. #ladywave
