  • S4E1 - Midwifery: “Men pulled it out of the domestic sphere, then locked women out”

    S4E1 - Midwifery: “Men pulled it out of the domestic sphere, then locked women out”
    Jul 23 2024
    Audra and Elisa “deliver” a history of midwifery in the U.S., how and why midwives have been pushed to the margins of reproductive medicine, and the incredible impact they have on women’s health. This episode pairs best with reproductive justice, passing on generational knowledge, and joining a coven.

  • S3E14 - The NFL: “Constantly terrified that men are not men”

    S3E14 - The NFL: “Constantly terrified that men are not men”
    Apr 9 2024
    Audra and Elisa look into the NFL’s history of hiding data about the dangers of CTE — which no amount of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce coverage can erase. This episode pairs best with listening to neurologists and playing non-contact sports.

  • S3E13 - True Crime: “Murder is bad vibes”

    S3E13 - True Crime: “Murder is bad vibes”
    Mar 5 2024
    Audra and Elisa attempt to unpack why true crime content is so pervasive, why women are the biggest consumers, the missing white woman syndrome, and what our desires say about us. This episode pairs best with falling asleep to ASMR instead of the news.
