Customer Reviews
Funny and real
I love how these podcasters are funny, but also extremely open about being in therapy and mental health issues. They teach about amazing women but also add their human aspects. I look forward to more episodes!
Informative and cool!
A lot of the time it can feel like history podcasts are just regurgitating info they looked up to make an episode. Not these two! They not only hit you with interesting facts about whatever woman they are highlighting this week, they also do it in a way where they sprinkle in layers of their own personalities. As a listener, I love learning a little about them and the subject! This show has an excellent flow and a left it a little smarter. Thanks ladies!
