Jana's Star is Rising

These are the voices I long to hear. What a beautiful pod Jana has created and worked so hard on. She is so sharp, fascinating, talented, and funny. I know Jana is going to go far in her creative pursuits, and our whole society will be much the better for it.

Still working on the back catalogue...

I am a “straight sized” white CIS female and I am SO grateful to have found this podcast. It is helping to rewire the head of bad wiring I’d been issued by this society. I started with the first episode and am working my way forward. I am dreading the day that I get all caught-up and will have to be patient for new episodes. Keep up the great work!
