Hosted by Kira and Alexandria, two opinionated women who went from social workers to law students. Each week (give or take) they will react to something that has been on their minds or on the news. These days we do a lot of yelling about the Supreme Court. Are you a woman with an opinion? We have a third mic. To join us and yell/laugh/cry about something you care about, contact us on instagram at OvaryActionPodcast.

Valentine episode

I loved this episode, the content/material presented was great. Didn’t realize that there were other potential versions of Valentine’s day or the person behind the glorified day. Love the way they explain and the fact that they brought up how the church steals pagan holidays to make it their own.

I think they’re really funny chics. I’m looking forward to continue listening to their podcast.

Variety of Topics

Love the variety of topics covered from lighthearted tinder stories to more serious issues about domestic violence. These are real people discussing relevant issues for everyone.

Gryf 19 ,

Excellent discussions of futurism

Topics that need to be thoroughly discussed are addressed by two very intelligent humans who take action on creating a better world. Smart, funny, important and progressive!
