    Ivy Insights

    The HERstory on the Rocks podcast is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon recently and it has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. Hosted by Allie and Katie, this show is not only entertaining but also informative. The chemistry between the hosts is evident from the start and their contagious laughter makes every episode a joy to listen to. In just two months of listening, I feel like I am right there with them, hanging out with my best friends.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is how it introduces and celebrates women from all walks of life throughout history. Each episode focuses on a different woman, whether she be fictional or non-fictional, and dives deep into her story. From well-known figures like Princess Diana to lesser-known heroes, this podcast sheds light on the achievements and struggles of these incredible women. The hosts strike a great balance between sharing facts and injecting their own opinions, providing a well-rounded perspective.

    Another highlight of this podcast is the friendly tone that Allie and Katie bring to each episode. Their voices have truly gotten me through some tough times, from my senior year in college during COVID to moving to a new state where I knew no one. They have been a constant presence and source of inspiration in my life as they share stories of amazing women who started out as normal girls but went on to do great things. This podcast is especially empowering for women in young adulthood, as it reminds us that greatness can come from anyone.

    However, there is one aspect of this podcast that could use improvement - the volume levels. The intro and outro music tends to be much louder than the actual conversation between Allie and Katie, which can be jarring at times. It would be great if they could adjust the audio levels to ensure a more consistent listening experience.

    In conclusion, The HERstory on the Rocks podcast is an absolute must-listen for anyone interested in history, comedy, and uplifting stories of women throughout the ages. Allie and Katie's friendly voices, infectious laughter, and authentic storytelling make this podcast a true joy to listen to. It has become a constant companion in my life, providing comfort and inspiration during challenging times. Thank you, Allie and Katie, for creating such an amazing show and never stop doing what you do!
