    Time to say goodbye!

    Time to say goodbye!

    After 5 years of talking about all things feminism, geekdom, and LGBTQIA+ issues, the time of Geek Herring has come to an end. 
    In this episode Amanda and Moni talk one final time about their decision and what led to this point.
    We are forever grateful for every single person who listened to our ramblings. 
    Hopefully we'll see or hear you in one way or the other out there. 
    So long, and thanks for all the fish!
    Forever geekily yours,Amanda & Monika

    We are joined by the one and only absolutely incredibly inspiring Demeternoth! She is a content creator and Twitch streamer, focussing on deep discussions and MMOs. We have a fantastic conversation about the trials and tribulations of content creation, what it's like being a visible woman, and how we are all changing the world one day at a time.
    We also had some amazing community questions:
    From Cyrub_KoC on Twitter: Deme, as a fellow content creator, how do you gather the motivation to continue creating? I’ve hit a pretty bad wall and I don’t know how to get back into the groove of creation. Any tips?

    From TitansCreed on Twitter: Why are you so coooooooooool?

A light in the dark

I feel like Princess Jasmine and Amanda and Monika are Aladdin because they’ve opened up a whole new world for me. They’ve helped me understand more about the struggles that woman are facing in our entertainment sphere, and as a father to a LGBTQIA+ child, Amanda and Monika have given me the tools to now open up a whole new world for my kiddo. To me that is everything. My son was dealing with crippling depression and he finally started to over come that when he came out. Now we’re exploring content creators and all kinds of stuff to help him feel like he is a normal kid. Thank you both and I can’t wait for the next episode!

Improving My Perspectives

This podcast has been helping me improve my perspectives over the years. Amanda and Monika are very passionate AND they want the world to be better. They talk about hard topics, some that other podcasts may want to shy away from. When a well-known author of a book about a school said stuff, I was able to turn to this podcast for guidance.

Plus, even when not on the podcast, they are open to dialogue in their Discord! Add this to your podcast app now!

Good Work Shouldn't Go Overlooked!

I can say that this is an eye opening podcast for both men and women alike. It delves into so many poinent topics that surround femanism & gender roles in regards to geek culture. Each episode stays focused on the topic while asking some thought provoking questions! Keep up the hard and good work!
