    Whitney Cummings & The Vaginal Ring

    Whitney Cummings & The Vaginal Ring

    In this episode of In Their Shoes, Dr. Jenn talks with, hands down, one of the funniest comedians you'll ever hear, Whitney Cummings, about her campaign with Annovera birth control, called, "Just Say Vagina."
     
    That's right, they made a campaign - about vaginas - it's like they were seeing directly into our souls and channeling all this vagtastic energy we've been cultivating over here on the pod. 
     
    If you've never heard of her, shame on you. Go listen to her four stand-up specials immediately. Whitney is a stand-up comedian, actress, filmmaker, and podcaster. She's participated in several Comedy Central Roasts, created the CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls, and like a lot of people this hilarious, is super smart!

    Ilyse Hogue, President of NARAL

    Ilyse Hogue, President of NARAL

    In this episode, Dr. Jenn & Executive Producer, Beth Bonilla, talk with NARAL Pro-Choice America President, Ilyse Hogue, about anti-choice politicians’ ongoing efforts to exploit the COVID-19 pandemic in order to restrict reproductive healthcare and ban abortion.
    Ilyse’s perspective on this topic is especially salient right now - she also has a new book coming out in partnership with NARAL Opposition Research Director Ellie Langford. The forthcoming book, The Lie that Binds, connects the dots between a decades-long effort to mobilize the Radical Right around the issue of abortion and today’s all-out war on reproductive freedom that leaves the future of Roe hanging in the balance.
    Her podcast by the same name, was also just released last week and is a MUST listen!

    Self-Managed Abortion & COVID (Francine Coeytaux)

    Self-Managed Abortion & COVID (Francine Coeytaux)

    Francine Coeytaux is a GIANT in the field of reproductive health- there's no easier way to say that. Among other things, she's the Co-Creator and Co-Director of Plan C--an organization of veteran reproductive health advocates, researchers, and modern age digital strategists who are all working towards the common goal of making medication abortion available to the people who need it most.
    Now more than ever, amidst a global pandemic, HERE is a plan to curtail limited access to Plan A (birth control), Plan B (emergency contraception), and in-office abortion care. As millions of women all over the world have shown through countless studies, self-managed abortion with the relatively newer technology of abortion medications, is incredibly safe and effective.

Cate Double U ,

I RECOMMEND THIS PODCAST TO EVERYONE I KNOW!!!

Literally. With every new episode I listen to I recommend the podcast to someone else. I’ve learned so much even just from the news segment at the beginning of some. I appreciate them trying to use gender inclusive language as much as possible and would love to hear “reproductive health” more instead of just “women’s health,” but overall I’m a HUGE fan!!

Mi Ellie ,

I DO NOT LIKE THIS PODCAST

They laugh and joke too much when speaking about serious topics that could be affecting listeners. I don’t recommend if you’re looking for answers to your serious health questions.
Thank

Way To Political

I started listening to this podcast because I LOVE women’s health. But as I listened each episode seems to be almost as much political as it is health related. While I believe to each their own, this is not the show for me. So that said, users beware 😊
