It’s 1995 and Carole Fisher is a high-flying divorcee looking for love in Las Vegas. It’s slim pickings in the medical community she works in. But then Bob comes to town. Bob Bierenbaum is a plastic surgeon who flies planes and speaks several languages. Her mom loves that he’s Jewish - but there’s something off about him. He’s perfect on paper but he’s quick to anger and he never talks about his ex-wife. Who, it turns out, is missing and presumed dead. After Carole and Bob break up she tells her friend Mindy all about Bob’s wife and his bizarre behavior. You see, Mindy dated Bob too, in fact a lot of women in Vegas dated Bob and they all have their own strange stories to tell. Before too long they form a club dedicated to bitching about Bob, eating noodles and figuring out what happened to his wife, Gail. In this riveting nine part series, Carole Fisher uncovers the truth of Gail Katz’s death, the systems that failed her and all the girlfriends that brought her justice.
The Girlfriends podcast is an absolutely captivating and moving true crime series that tells the story of Gail's disappearance and the subsequent investigation into her abusive ex-boyfriend, Bob. The podcast is unique in its approach, as it allows the women in Bob's life to tell their own stories and shed light on his manipulative and abusive behavior. The different personalities and transparency of the women involved make for a truly inspiring listen, and their bravery in sharing their experiences is commendable. Their bond and support for each other throughout the podcast is heartfelt and adds an extra layer of depth to the storytelling.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is its compelling storytelling and vivid narration. The hosts do a fantastic job of pacing the episodes, keeping listeners on their toes from beginning to end. The use of humor, horror, and beautiful audio design creates an engaging listening experience that is hard to turn away from. Additionally, the dignity and care shown towards victims and survivors sets this podcast apart from others in its genre. The respect given to those affected by violence against women is something that other podcasts should take note of.
While there are so many positive aspects to The Girlfriends podcast, one possible downside could be the excessive number of ads scattered throughout each episode. While ads are necessary for podcasts to generate income, some listeners may find them interruptive or annoying. However, this minor inconvenience can easily be remedied by fast-forwarding through these sections.
In conclusion, The Girlfriends podcast is a beautifully done series that provides a thrilling yet empathetic exploration of Gail's disappearance and the impact it had on those who loved her. The storytelling is top-notch, the music enhances the overall experience, and Elaine's strength throughout her search for justice serves as an inspiration. This podcast not only sheds light on an important issue but also celebrates female friendship and resilience in the face of tragedy. It is highly recommended for both true crime enthusiasts and those looking for a captivating and thought-provoking listen.

Her department was sitting on thousands of unsolved rape cases, dating back decades - with little hope of ever finding the perpetrators.

This could be the key to getting justice for hundreds of desperate women. This is a story of hard work, dogged persistence and a series of incredible coincidences… If you’ve been affected by sexual violence, there are organisations which can help.

From the moment she heard a guitar being played in an empty classroom at her convent school in the Philippines in 1961, June Millington knew what she wanted to do with her life: rock and roll. So when a girl called up June and her sister and asked if they wanted to start a band, the answer was hell yeah. They went on to become Fanny, the first all-female rock band to release an album with a major record label. June and her bandmates moved into a house in LA, toured the world and won fans like David Bowie. But they were also up against sexist stereotypes, skeptical audiences and critics who couldn’t believe that a group of women could rock just as hard as any guy. But June wasn’t about to let that stop her. This is the story of how she stuck it to the man and blazed a trail for generations of female musicians to come. June is the co-founder of the Institute for the Musical Arts, which offers workshops and events for women in music: https://ima.org/ We want YOUR stories for our Girlfriends hotline!

Nellie Bly was a true trailblazer. In late 19th century America, women were expected to get married and become housewives, or go into a suitable career like teaching. But Nellie didn’t do any of that. Instead, she changed journalism forever, becoming one of the world’s first female investigative journalists, and paving the way for a generation of incredible ‘Girl Stunt Reporters’. And Nellie’s first investigation was probably her most dangerous: In 1887, she deliberately got herself committed to the most notorious insane asylum in New York, to expose the abuse of women inside its walls. She was drugged, half starved and manipulated by doctors as the screams of other patients echoed around the corridors… Researcher and author Kim Todd tells us Nellie’s story. Kim’s book about Nellie and the journalists she inspired is called Sensational: The Hidden History of America’s ‘Girl Stunt Reporters’. We want YOUR stories for our Girlfriends hotline!

In the 1930s, Lucky Luciano, one of American history's most notorious mobsters, was finally taken down by a rookie prosecutor. Eunice Carter was one of the first Black Women ever to become a prosecutor in America. She operated from the heart of the Harlem Renaissance to navigate the corrupt world of downtown Manhattan politics, and a deeply racist and sexist pre-civil rights American society. But her pioneering role in what became known as the “trial of the century” has been forgotten by popular history. Hers is the story of a writer, social worker, mother, teacher, sister, socialite, political candidate, community organizer and unheralded pioneer. This eight part immersive podcast is hosted by poet and writer, Nichole Perkins. It tells the story of Eunice Carter: a bad-ass anti-hero unafraid to bend the rules in pursuit of ambition, justice and legacy.
