Not Another Feminist Podcast Alex Martinez We know what you're thinking, another one?! Although this podcast was created to educate on ALL things femme (entrepreneurship, menstruation, women's rights in politics, hormone health, etc). Expect conversation style interviews with feminist thought leaders who know all about being your own boss bitch. Whether you might be seeking advice on something big like quitting your corporate 9-5 to work freelance gigs remotely, or small, like switching over to a menstrual cup -- give us a listen on your commute home, or whenever you're in the mood to radically amp up those feminist genes. This And That Podcast (w/ Jeff and Gretchen) Jeff And Gretchen Jeff and Gretchen's weekly comedy and audio blog podcast. Oh no! Not another couple cast? Well - Jeff and Gretchen are quite different than the norm. For starters, Jeff and Gretchen are not romantic partners. They approach their weekly show as two friends catching up over a weekend lunch. Extremely well produced, Jeff and Gretchen develop National Lampoon style comedy bits and talk about their fun lives in Dallas Texas. Topics cover politics, music, dating, relationships, sex, science, math (it's true!), religion, movies, their home town and of course this and that! Jeff also writes and performs original music - usually silly, always entertaining. If you haven't heard "Podcast Star" yet (heard by thousands all over the internet), you really should go to their website and check it out. Also on the website you can find all you ever wanted to know about Jeff and Gretchen and their studio. They even keep a blog to keep their fans completely up to date. Not Another Election!
