Hey-so, here’s our first real episode!! I have stitched it together in the ways one does, and two things have become clear to me: 1) I need more practice at editing podcasts, and 2) I talk too much. Not in the ‘I’m a woman and I feel I talk too much’ way (please, have we met?), but in the ‘I have learning to do about Hosting As A Craft' way. Still, this was fun and A’Ja and I brought a lot of expertise and humor to this conversation. Like it?

Founder/Editor of ⁠Medusa Rising | World Building Women⁠, Esmée Streachailt, introduces the podcast's mission to deepen feminist movement. Medusa Rising aims to expand the radical materialist feminism established by The Radical Notion magazine into accessible digital formats. The podcast will cover feminist topics and promote intersectional collaboration and sisterhood. Team members will host episodes in their expertise or curiosities. Moving out of the patriarchal/dominance epoch into a matristic/partnership epoch will require improvisation and learning in public! Listeners will hear from diverse feminist voices on various subjects including embodied thriving, soul craft, politics, culture, and social movements in a RadMatFem perspective. The team embraces a slow, deliberate approach creating meaning more than content, and warmly invites contributions from the community.   Newsletter, website, ways to contribute your brilliance : ⁠medusarising.org⁠.
