It's time to shine the spotlight on the talented ladies that blazed the trail for women in comic books! We honor the pioneers that paved the way! Names behind such classics as Super Friends! Star Wars! Aquaman! Sandman! Elfquest! Glory! Power Man! X-Men and many more!
If you think this is going to be a Man Show, Howard Stern or Mantown style episode, you're listening to the wrong podcast!! In this episode we discuss women in entertainment that we admire for their incredible talent and the amazing contributions they made to pave the way for the women that followed them in the world of music, film and television. And the ridicule they faced at a time when it was difficult for a woman to assert her independence in an industry that has been dominated by men. Bret, Jamie and Wayne discuss some of the most talented women in the industry and why their contributions were so important and should never be forgotten. Like in the case of someone like Mabel Normand whose contributions aren't as remembered as they once were. Please join us as we salute some amazing talents in the hopes you will check out their work and why we think they kick ass!!

We’re back, friends! This pandemic may be keeping us inside, but it definitely hasn’t stopped us from nerding out & enjoying wine. We’re kicking off April with another hot topic & delicious wine: KICK ASS WOMEN and red blends! This year, the International Women’s Day Campaign is #EachforEqual, meaning that each one of us can create a gender equal world by embracing each others’ differences and allowing those differences to empower us. We’re toasting all of you kick ass women with a flavorful red blend because like a red blend, we are bonded by our differences and become stronger when we support one another. Check out our latest episode to learn more about kick ass women like Madame C.J. Walker and Josefa LLanes Escoda, and our love for this scrumptious red blend by a female winemaker, Debbie Juergenson.

There's a subtle (sometimes) and encouraging movement happening in Hollywood and we are so here for it. From classics getting remade with strong and kick-ass women in the lead to biopics of famous gay men to disability and gender representation... hooo yeah! These changes are making the gentle waves that will lead to some damn diversity for a change! Despite that fact that all the freaking incredible female directors were totally and rudely overlooked at the Golden Globes, we are getting a bit closer to some actual, honest to goodness, recognition and representation on the big screen. Believe it or not, this episode started out as a Geek Girl in the News.... but we were having so much fun chatting about what was new in our lives - and for Amanda who flew 10 hours across the ocean - it was all sorts of movies! HAVE YOU SEEN ALADDIN!??! Okay, so Amanda is like, a year late to this party, but she finally got to enjoy it and holy shit, what a game changer. We geek out about it and what it means for the future of not only Disney films, but strong female characters ligting up the big screen. Then we talk about Men In Black: International and how Tessa Thompson SLAYED in it, alongside Chris Hemsworth, and the nods to taking down the patriarchy were REAL. And, after a lot of himming and hawing because WHAT was the last movie Amanda watched on that 10-hour? SHAZAM! was phenomenal. Representing disabilities, foster care, different sizes and races in such a POSITIVE LIGHT. Also what about those toxic masculinity vibes!? We also talk about Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman helping normalise gay men in our households. Even though Freddie Mercury and Elton John have been household names for literal decades, it was always with that caveat - but he's gay. We're LOVING all these films out right now are making positive waves for diversity and representation. As always, what happens in Hollywood will trickle into our households and start helping society make the changes we so desperately are ON BOARD FOR. Tell us what movies are giving you LIFE in the comments of wherever you see this episode! If you’ve enjoyed this episode, please check out some of our others!

Starke Frauen weichen vor nichts zurück, so beweisen es auch die Damen, welche sich in unserer heutigen Folge auf unser modriges Sofa wagen! Die Schwestern Regina und Samantha stellen sich in „Der Komet“ einer Situation, welche ihr Leben nicht mehr durcheinanderbringen könnte – einem rätselhaften Naturschauspiel, blutrünstigen Zombies, verrückten Wissenschaftlern und das alles genau jetzt, wo schicke Schuhe, provokante Kleidung und Jungs doch so viel spannender sind. Doch wer wären wir, wenn wir uns damit begnügen würden? Natürlich reichen zwei starke Powermädels alleine nicht aus. In „Haywire“ dürfen wir Mallory Kane bei ihrer Geschichte voller Intrigen, Verwicklungen und knallharten Faustkämpfen erleben. Tom Cruise müsste noch ein wenig trainieren um mit ihr mitzuhalten. Und last but not least: „Million Dollar Baby“! Maggie Fitzgerald und ihre tragische Karriere im Boxsport. Welche nicht nur durch die Fäuste ihrer Rivalinnen geprägt wurde, nein auch musste sie den grimmigen, alten Coach Frankie erst von sich überzeugen. Kein leichtes Unterfangen für die ambitionierte Frau. Neugierig geworden? Perfekt, schnappt euch einen Tee und lehnt euch zurück, während die Maden Roman, Flo und Marcus über die Filme sprechen.

In this episode of Gutsy Health we talk with Shannon and Liza about the women that do not have credentials, and are forced out of health conversations. Women tend to be blocked out of the realm of medicine and health because of gender bias and lack of credentials. There are too many examples of how health professionals don’t trust women’s thoughts on their health. We need to learn how to say no and how to say yes and remember that as women we have a choice. - Episode intro 3:18- How did it start? 8:38- Shannon’s Story 23:30- To Those with Power 45:51 “Don’t let anyone bully you out of getting educated. You don’t have to have a medical degree to understand nutrition. You don’t have to have a Ph.D. to understand what's going in your body. You don’t have to have any kind of 10 years of schooling to recognize you’re taking a medication and it’s making you feel off. “ 42:25www.mygutsyhealth.comhttps://www.instagram.com/gutsy_mom/@provohealth@gutsy_mom*Formerly: "Women without credentials"
When has it ever been more important to get women onto the Hill to remove the legislative male hands from our uteri? Never before. And thank God Melanie Childers is on the case because she is empowering, clearing and firing up the hearts of women who are stepping into the political arena for the first time. She doesn't only coach women running for office but the power with which she does comes through this interview and into all of our hearts. She helps us all imagine stepping into our CEO energy, or what we here call our Superhero of Love! You can't help but feel empowered when in her presence. If you know a woman that you would like to run for office, PASS THIS ON TO HER! If you know a woman in Georgia (one of the 8 states to pass legislation set to harm Roe v. Wade) then definitely PASS THIS EPISODE ON TO HER because Melanie informs us that many of the races in Georgia are run unchecked. There are no Dem contenders in many races. If you know a woman who isn't quite feeling her power, PASS THIS ON TO HER, because this is a fire starter for all our hearts -- whether politically inclined or political-averse. Find Melanie at theenlightenedbadass.com and on all social media as The Enlightened Badass. We also mentioned the Yale program supporting women candidates: Women's Campaign School at Yale University
Female game developers are an important part of the game industry! Women have an active and substantial role in not just indie games, but AAA titles as well, including some extremely well-known games. We're joined by Thom Knight from Three Extra Lives to take in some trivia before chatting about women in game dev. First things first, as Thom is a trivia and indie game buff, he sets hosts Monika and Amanda a tough challenge. Do we know our female video game characters? The answer may surprise you! Or.... maybe it won't. We'll see! Thom is the first male viewpoint coming on Geek Herring and is a feminist. He's keen to share his voice and thoughts on what he perceives to be the issues facing female game developers. He also talks about some of his favourite women in game development and the games they've created!

Not willing to settle for the 1950’s female role models of our youth, we boomers put our hearts, souls and youthful energies into mounting the women’s movement of the 1970s. Now I like to say we are… “Embracing life, as we grow older. There are no invisible shrinking violets here, we're an amazing and bodacious group of women who are revolutionizing and reinventing the spirit and style of aging.” And speaking of bodacious, bestselling author, Karen Karbo, is especially beloved by those of us lucky enough to boast a double-X chromosome, for her “Kick-Ass Women” series. Karen has just released her latest book. It’s called In Praise of Difficult Women: Life Lessons From 29 Heroines Who Dared To break The Rules, and she joins us to share all about it. Believe me, this is one book and one interview you are not going to want to miss!

The New York Times called Karen Karbo "a very funny writer" something that becomes abundantly clear in her wit-filled Kick-Ass Women series of books. Examining the lives of women who lived life on their own terms Karbo's treatment of Coco Chanel, Georgia O'Keefe and Katharine Hepburn goes beyond mere biography to discover the truths to making the most of every day. In her latest book Julia Child Rules: Lessons on Savoring Life, Karbo gives not just the most personal view of Julia Child yet but more importantly surprising insights like the idea that lacking a skill can be your biggest asset.
