00:00 - KJ-DAMAS RETURNS! 12:52 - Do the Patriots really need an edge rusher? 38:02 - National Women's Day at Magic City

AxisBIC, which drives innovation and supports start-ups in the Mid-West and South West, has seen an increase in the number of female entrepreneurs raising investment to grow their business. Figures for 2025 show that 35% of High Potential Start-Up (HPSU) approvals in the region were companies founded or co-founded by women, while 57% of Pre-Seed Start Fund (PSSF) approvals were female-led companies. AxisBIC, which works with businesses in Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick, revealed the figures ahead of International Women's Day as it encourages more women to take the leap into setting up their own company. Over the past five years at AxisBIC's flagship event, the Entrepreneur Experience, more than 50% of the participating businesses were founded or co-founded by women, far outstripping the national average of 25% to 30%. Figures show that these female-led businesses raised a total investment of €42 million. As well as the Entrepreneur Experience, AxisBIC organises a mini-accelerator and pitching event annually – the AxisBIC Venture Academy. Last year, Valentia Island Vermouth was named Most Investible Company and has subsequently been approved for PSSF funding and secured HPSU investment. Speaking about the win, founders Anna and Orla Snook O'Carroll said: "AxisBIC has been an exceptional support to us as founders, helping Valentia Island Vermouth strengthen our business strategy and prepare for long-term growth. Their guidance around planning, investor readiness and pitching was invaluable, particularly as 2025 became such a major milestone year for the company. We're proud to have secured PSSF funding, followed by HPSU investment, and AxisBIC's support was a key part of that journey. Being named Most Investible Company at the AxisBIC 2025 Venture Academy was also a brilliant endorsement of the progress we've made." The team at AxisBIC works closely with each entrepreneur to develop a well-tested business plan, raise investment, manage business propositions, and arrange agreements with shareholders and investors. The organisation has an extensive network of partners, including local authorities, universities, investors, business bodies and seasoned entrepreneurs across Ireland and internationally. CEO of AxisBIC, Larry O'Donoghue, said: "At AxisBIC, our commitment of supporting and advancing female-led startups is underpinned by a strong 'Give to Gain' ethos. The organisation draws on an extensive network of experienced entrepreneurs, investors and partners who mentor, coach and advise emerging founders. In addition, AxisBIC, together with the four Irish Business Innovation Centres (Irish BICs), has recently organised and supported Enterprise Ireland's newly established accelerator programme, NextWave. NextWave is the new National Women's founder Accelerator designed to empower women founders to validate, build and scale with confidence." Among the female start-ups supported by AxisBIC are Rosanne Longmore, of FemTech company Coroflo; Peigín Crowley, of health and wellness brand Ground Wellbeing; and Rena Maycock of Chirp, which is rewriting the script on mobile phone child protection. To mark International Women's Day, AxisBIC is co-hosting a webinar, 'Forging Collaboration and Sharing Entrepreneurial Success Stories to Balance the Scales', along with partner incubators in the EU and the Caribbean. The transatlantic conversation on Tuesday, March 10th, will feature female entrepreneurs from Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Ireland and Slovenia. Participating in the discussion will be Alice Carroll from Foxes Bow Irish Whiskey. Speaking ahead of the event, she said: "I have been driven by a mission to democratise whiskey. Building Foxes Bow Irish Whiskey has always been about challenging expectations and creating a more inclusive future for the category. AxisBIC has provided invaluable support through strategic business planning and a strong commitment to female entrepreneurs. I'm delighted to take part in the upcomin...

 Wo liegen die historischen Ursprünge des 8. März? Darum ranken sich viele Geschichten. Welche basieren auf Ereignissen, die historisch belegt sind, und welche gehören eher ins Reich der Mythen? Dem gehen wir in dieser Folge auf den Grund. Die wichtigste historisch belegte Geschichte ist diese: Den ersten "internationalen Frauentag" ruft Clara Zetkin 1910 bei einer sozialistischen Konferenz ins Leben, am 19.3.1911 wird er erstmals durchgeführt. Inspiriert ist sie dabei vom "National Women's Day" der sozialistischen Partei der USA. Am 8.3.1917 gehen massenweise Menschen in St. Petersburg auf die Straße, größtenteils Frauen. Sie sind es, die die Russische Revolution anstoßen, und wegen denen der jährliche feministische Kampftag ab 1921 auf den 8. März festgelegt wird. Aber... War's das schon? Ganz so einfach ist es selten in der Geschichte. Wie die Wurzeln eines Baumes sind auch die Ursprünge des 8. März verästelt. Wir sehen uns in dieser Folge den historischen Kontext und die Absicht an, mit denen "Frauentage" vor über 100 Jahren einberufen wurden. Als Interview-Gast dabei ist dieses mal die Professorin Jana Günther.

Doireann Crossan, Acting Head of Policy at the National Women's Council

Some people do their best thinking on a walk. Me? I do my best thinking in the shower.   So I was thinking in the shower about how "The Most Interesting Man in the World" is back — yes, that guy, Jonathan Goldsmith, returning as the Dos Equis spokesperson after a ten-year hiatus, now with a funny "amnesia" twist and a whole lot of nostalgia. And while I do appreciate a sexy, wise older gentleman with an open collar and a "stay thirsty, my friends" vibe, my shower thoughts flowed to this thought: "Okay… but where is the campaign for "The Most Interesting WOMAN in the World?" Who the heck is SHE?  Because if we're being honest, she's probably not lounging around with a beer plotting her next adventure. She may be plotting but she's got a 'sh*tload of things to finish first before cracking open a beer or pouring a glass of wine or doing whatever relaxes her. So WHO IS SHE? By Jove I thought to myself, "The Most Interesting WOMAN in the World" is… WE!   WE meaning  – all the women over 50 (and there are plenty I tell ya!) with wisdom, passion and purpose —out there in the world 'still in the game', who've been there, done that, – and are still swinging against all odds most days. I was thinking, SHE likely has wrinkles, uses reading glasses, has a very busy brain, likely has a demanding job or business or demanding caretaking obligation. And most likely has a huge heart that still puts everyone else first. Hmmm. Sounds a lot like me. Sound like you? Or someone you know?  Oh - and she buys a boatload of stuff. Like Me. "The Most Interesting Woman in the World". Hmmm.  She's the woman who: might not have a giant social media following… but has massive word-of-mouth power buys everything for everybody (herself, the household, the kids, the grandkids, the nieces, the nephews… and probably the neighbor) is old-school but open to new things (especially if they promise better health, more energy, fewer annoyances or promise to make her look younger.) "The Most Interesting WOMAN in the World" Takes Risks!  Yes, she does! So who am I not to? Especially since I'm the one always pushing others to: "Risk It! or Regret It! I decided to RISK turning on my phone camera to record an opening segment of my radio show on 'video' as well as audio, so you could SEE what you usually don't when I do my live radio show. Yup, you can see how I talk with my hands and see the products I brought in from my house for 'show and tell' on the air that day. It was not a comfortable decision. I've been avoiding video. I do not love my looks these days, but I did it. And now I'm cool because I created a live radio show, that's partially on video, that's also a podcast, and has been turned into short media clips for other social media channels to drive back to the full video opening of my radio show on You Tube, that may encourage people to go and listen to the rest of the audio of my podcast - and maybe tune in live to the radio show. Full disclosure: All this effort did not burn a calorie. The live radio show is easy. I've been doing live radio so long I could do it in my sleep. It's all the other new pieces of the media pie - the audio /podcast /video/blog /social media puzzle, that takes quite an effort. I'll tell ya this much. AI filters are much cheaper than Botox, and figuring all this out was mentally exhausting. HOWEVER! "WE… "The Most Interesting Women In the World"  cannot stay interesting… if we do not embrace new knowledge and take new risks! Ok so …For fun I brought some products from my house to the radio studio that "The Most Interesting WOMAN in the World" might own for 'show and tell'.   Centrum Women 50+ MultiGummy (because we're doing our best to not fall apart like cheap patio furniture) Saline nasal spray (a product we somehow didn't grow up with but now feels like a household essential. Who knew. Right?) Lume deodorant 72-hour protection! (Once I got past the initial awkward TV commercial with the Founder focusing on where else this stuff can make me smell nice - I decided to just get on board for the 72 hours under my arms so I'd have one less thing to worry about - just in case I forgot.) A gadgety little YCZ Electric Massage Pro eye tool my daughter politely gave me as a gift to try and HELP me. (warm, glowy, red light-ish… fine fine we're trying new things!) Costco Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil (because it's a BIG bottle of quality olive oil that tastes great straight from my peeps back in Italy at a great price. If I'm going to "do better," I want food that tastes like it loves me back) Morning Kick by Chuck Norris (I took his quiz, got labeled a "rapid ager," and immediately decided I need Chuck to back me freakin up. I'm testing it and kinda love it) Also, because of the nonstop flow of information these days I always come across a lot of 'who knew' stuff I find out that I want to share. Like that dry roasted peanuts build your telomeres. Yup. Short telomeres equal short life. So, I stole my Dave's peanuts for show and tell. He now brags he's younger because he eats them, and now I have to eat them just to have my telomeres catch up. (I tell ya being interesting is a nonstop sport.) And because "The Most Interesting Woman in the World" is also likely starting to blow some body parts… I showed off a flyer featuring that great gal Evelyn the physical therapist from ProClinix who's been workin' on me helping to get me get back in the game! (which starts with me getting on and off the table). And because "The Most Interesting Woman in the World" also wants to have as much fun as possible before she's dead… I also discussed just how many companies are pitching me to come have fun with them. Like the  Royal Caribbean cruise line that begs me by email almost daily to sail away with them again, and again, and again. YES, YES,  "The Most Interesting Woman in the World" – The collective 'WE' – want to have more FUN!   We're open. Where are we going?  We're IN! Just can't be the same day we're already booked. Like on a day we have a Dr. or dentist appointment or are taking someone else to a Dr. or a dentist appt. Can't be on a day when a plumber is coming to the house or on a day when we have an appointment, meeting, a zoom, going to a kids sports event or when we're babysitting. Oh, or when we've got a hair appt. And it can't be anything that starts too late at night or requires us to drive far in bad weather.   Other than we're free. LOL   Here's what I touched on the rest of the show The "anti-marketing" protein bar that's winning the protein wars is simply DAVID and why some brands win without screaming. Apparently, a protein bar called David is crushing it, partly because it's doing the opposite of what every loud, neon, influencer-filled protein brand is doing. Simple subway ads. Tons of white space. A sleek package. No drama. And the numbers? Wild. The brand's buzz has been building like a cult favorite, with big fundraising and serious sales projections. I first tasted them at a National Women's Pickleball Foundation event and immediately understood the strategy: get it in people's mouths first — then they'll come looking for it later. (That's marketing.) Then I found our there's a New personality label: "Otrovert"  "Wait… is that me?" Otrovert (from "otro," meaning "other") is basically someone who can look extroverted and function socially just fine…but actually recharges best alone or in quieter settings. Observant, sensitive to group dynamics, craving real connection… and sometimes leaving a room feeling oddly separate. The takeaway? Pressure's off. You're allowed to be social AND need silence. You're allowed to shine AND need downtime. Be who you are. (I support this message.) Divorce rings are a thing (and yes, I have thoughts) And then—because my brain is a pinball machine—we hit a British Vogue trend: divorce ring parties. Women re-setting stones from old engagement rings into new jewelry to mark a fresh chapter. It's community, champagne, and a little "we're going to be okay." Whenever I speak of divorce, I always like to point out that divorce is painful. A broken dream. No matter who's fault it is. Even when it's necessary, it has a long emotional tail. So, if you're in that chapter: I hope you find your next "happily ever after," whatever that looks like. Also: Walking sharks. That's it. That's the sentence. ScienceDaily had me staring into the void with this headline: walking sharks that apparently break rules of reproduction without a measurable increase in energy use. Do I need this information? No. Did I share it anyway? Absolutely. Because that's what I do. Discover stuff and share it. Ozempic marketing, sweatpants history, and the courage to turn on the camera I also touched on: Novo Nordisk leaning into a "Get a Mac"-style ad throwback to clarify Ozempic's FDA-approved uses (marketing is getting very nostalgic lately) International Sweatpants Day, and the fact that sweatpants evolved from athletic wear to "I live here now" fashion (and yes, I did also mention the origins) And threading through all of it was my own little "new era" moment: I turned on a camera in the studio—even though I'm not exactly thrilled about it—because staying relevant means shifting with the times. It means blending wisdom with new tools, learning new stuff, and continuing to show up. Because "The Most Interesting Woman in the World" isn't one person. She's all of us. Especially those of us learning how not to let getting older get in the way of being us.   The Daily Toast (because I always end the show with a little sparkle) I closed with a quote I loved from Dr. Steve Maraboli: "There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself…" Amen, Dr. Maraboli. And my personal sign-off still stands: 'Someday' Has Arrived… It's Time to Roll! Onward! Debbie

Small businesses and budding entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to sample 18 events aimed at helping them to start or grow their business as part of this year's Local Enterprise Week in Dublin City. The initiative of the Local Enterprise Offices, supported by Enterprise Ireland and the local authorities, takes place from the 2nd to the 7th of March this year across the country. While there are hundreds of events taking place nationally during the week, there are plenty of events in Dublin City open to all. These events will focus on helping small businesses or anyone just looking to get started on their business journey to plan, start, sustain and grow. From AI and Green regulations to Food and Finance workshops, there will be something for every type of business across the week. Each of the 31 Local Enterprise Offices will be running a full programme of events in their area that will cover a variety of topics relevant to small businesses and those starting up. The events are open to all, from budding entrepreneurs to established businesses and offers the opportunity to get expert advice on key areas of business, from raising funds, improving your online presence, the benefits of AI, to how to make your business more productive and save money. Warren Cray, Head of Enterprise, Dublin City Council, said on the upcoming events: "Local Enterprise Week is the highlight of the year for us at LEO Dublin City. It's a real opportunity for businesses to step back and look at where they can grow, innovate, or perhaps become more sustainable — and to discover what support is right on their doorstep.

On the radio show this week, we dive into the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill requiring expensive documents like passports for voter registration, potentially disenfranchising millions. We also hear about the negative national economic impact of rising costs and job losses on women, and particularly Black women. Next, we cover the dire state of maternal health in the U.S., exacerbated by reproductive rights restrictions and funding cuts to health care. Finally, we discuss the importance of engaging pro-choice men in advocacy to support reproductive freedom.   SPECIAL GUESTS: Alison Gill, National Women's Law Center, @nwlc.org;  Kate Bahn, Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR), @IWPResearch; Monifa Bandele, MomsRising / MamásConPoder, @MomsRising, @MamasConPoder, @momsrising.org, @mamasconpoder.org; Aaron Bos-Lun, Men4Choice, @Men_4_Choice

In this episode, we break down the biggest power moves shaping the sports landscape. First, we dive into NFL Free Agency, analyzing the teams that spent big, the quarterback dominoes that could shift the playoff picture, and which franchises positioned themselves as true contenders versus offseason winners.Then we examine ESPN's decision to move away from Sunday Night Baseball and spotlight the WNBA and National Women's Soccer League in prime time. Is this a bold business strategy, a cultural shift, or a signal about the future of Major League Baseball?We connect roster strategy, media economics, and the evolving power dynamics of sports all in one conversation.

Today's guest is Hafza Girdap, Spokesperson for Advocates of Silenced Turkey and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology, Criminology and Anthropology at Hofstra University. In this episode, Alon and Hafza discuss the ten years since the attempted coup in Turkey in 2016, the countless human rights violations committed by the Erdogan government since then, and the status of women's rights and minority rights in Turkey. Full bio Hafza Girdap is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology, Criminology and Anthropology at Hofstra University and the Spokesperson for Advocates of Silenced Turkey (AST). She holds a Ph.D. in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Stony Brook University, New York. Her research focuses on gender, race, immigration, racialization and identity, human and women's rights in Muslim-majority contexts, and the integration and adaptation of Muslim immigrant women, with particular attention to the redefinition of their cultural identities. Beyond her academic work, Girdap is the director of the Gender Program at the European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS) and the co-founder of Set Them Free, a gender-based advocacy initiative. She is also the first elected Chair of the Muslim+ Feminists Caucus within the National Women's Studies Association (NWSA), where she currently serves as Co-Chair, and a member of the Sister-to-Sister Committee of Sociologists for Women in Society (SWS). In her research, Girdap actively incorporates the voices of female survivors of conflict, examining the coping mechanisms they employ to navigate challenges such as social discrimination, oppression, and violations of basic rights across various contexts—including their home countries, refugee camps, and new settlements. By framing reidentification as a form of agency, her work not only highlights the complexities of identity negotiation but also challenges epistemic dominance by contributing to alternative modes of knowledge production. Girdap has also expanded her work in women's rights advocacy. Over the past seven years, she has organized and spoken at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW) panels, focusing on the experiences and needs of women. She also mentors youth, encouraging their engagement as researchers and speakers in these global forums.

We discuss the importance of placing Christian identity before athletic identity, the structure of the heptathlon and decathlon, and the ongoing efforts to include women's decathlon in the Olympics.

More about Jordan in her own words: I'm Jordan Eggerth. I am a professional athlete and the American Record Holder in the Women's Decathlon with a passion for Track and Field and sharing Jesus through my sport!    I have been beyond blessed in my life through my walk with Christ and He has helped shape me into the person I am today through trials, tribulations, love, grace, heartache, passion, grief, joy, pain, and His amazing plan with it all.    Since He has given me such a platform to reach others, I have decided that I should be sharing Him in every avenue I possibly can and sharing His amazing stories in my life to help inspire and help others.    I played many sports growing up including basketball (my passion), taekwondo, tennis, softball, and gymnastics. Even when I wasn't in an organized sport my days usually included lots of swimming, bike riding, tree climbing, knife throwing, gun/bow shooting, and many more activities.  Track and Field, however, was not a sport I had the opportunity to compete in until my senior year of high school.    In my senior year of high school my mother found Blane Williams with the Heat Track club at Kell High School. Coach Blane allowed me to join his team at 17yrs old and that opportunity has changed my life forever.    After a year of running with The Heat I went to school at Kennesaw State University to join their Track and Field team and be coached by Andy Eggerth in 2014.    Since then, I have graduated from Kennesaw State University where I was a 10x Conference Champion and 4x All-American in NCAA Division I Track and Field.    I have competed at NCAA D1 Championships, USA Championships, the Thorpe Cup in Germany for Team USA x2, The National Women's Decathlon Championship x2, and the Open De France. I was also the Bronze Medalist at the Pan American Games in 2023.    ​I continue with my professional career attempting to gain a spot on Team USA for various events.   I am the American Record Holder in the Women's Decathlon, as well as the Women's Decathlon 100m Dash, Long Jump American Record Holder. I am also the World Record Holder in the Women's Decathlon Long Jump I am currently working towards helping get women the opportunity to compete in the Olympics in the Decathlon.

Today we're diving into a groundbreaking effort out of UC Berkeley focused on a serious issue in sports science: the lack of research and data on women athletes. Despite massive growth in women's sports over the last few decades, scientists have a glaring blind spot — most of the foundational data used in sports medicine and performance analytics comes from studies on men. That's what a new UC Berkeley initiative is aiming to change — and it affects athletes at every level. To help us unpack this, we're joined by Dr Amy "whitey" Hockenbrock who is the associate medical director and associate team physician at UC Berkeley and Dr. Cindy Chang — chief medical officer for the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and former head team physician at Cal.

On the radio show this week we dive into the "Mothers of Massive Resistance" in Minneapolis, the impact of the ICE surge on local residents, and the on-the-ground organizing and mutual aid efforts. We also hear about the need for more women to run for office and the importance of political parity. Then we cover the importance of resilience, action, and rebuilding trust in democracy in 2026 with award-winning author and national leader Stacey Abrams. After that, we close the show discussing the high number of women being pushed out of the labor force; how the wage gap is unfairly widening with Black women experiencing a disproportionately negative impact; and what solutions are possible.   SPECIAL GUESTS: Beth Hawkins, the 74 Million, @The74, @bethhawkins.bsky.social, @the74.bsky.social; Erin Vilardi, Vote Run Lead Action, @VoteRunLeadAction, @vrlaction.bsky.social; Stacey Abrams, @staceyabrams, @staceyabrams.com; Emily Martin, National Women's Law Center, @nwlc.org

Trinity Rodman's new contract with the Washington Spirit is more than a star re-signing — it's a statement about where the National Women's Soccer League is headed. In this segment, we break down why it mattered that the league and the Spirit found a way to keep one of the game's most important players at home, including the flexibility shown to make the deal work. We also look at Rodman's impact on the field and on the broader U.S. soccer landscape, and why her presence elevates competition, visibility, and ambition across the league. Finally, we zoom out to the bigger picture: a league that is maturing as a business, adapting in real time, and understanding that star power — when handled responsibly — drives long-term growth.

Earlier this week, a Denver City Council committee discussed a potential proposal to ban law enforcement, including ICE agents, from wearing face coverings during arrest or deportation operations. If such legislation did pass, how would it be enforced? Then, hundreds of people showed up to a town hall meeting in December to protest the city's use of Flock cameras — the contract with the tech surveillance company ends in March, so where does Denver stand? Host Bree Davies sits down with council member at-large Sarah Parady to dig into these topics, plus discuss her thoughts on TABOR, childcare funding challenges, jail sentences, and why she voted against using $50 million of Denver's money to buy the land for the future National Women's Soccer League stadium.

Send us a textEverywhere we look, the backlash against trans lives is growing louder. We're facing policies targeting healthcare, book bans erasing our stories, coordinated campaigns to sow fear and confusion. This backlash isn't happening in isolation, though. It's part of a much larger cultural and political force determined to roll back gender justice for all of us. Today In the Den, Sara and acclaimed policy analyst Julie Kohler dig into what's beneath the backlash across America—how it formed, why it's intensifying now, and how it's shaping our politics, our families, and our public life. Julie weaves research, history, and storytelling to show the connective tissue between attacks on the trans community, assaults on reproductive freedom, and attempts to reassert rigid gender norms.Special Guest: Julie KohlerJulie Kohler is an acclaimed writer whose work has appeared in CNN, The Washington Post, MSNBC, The Daily Beast, and many other outlets.

Guilt, shame, and fear around academic writing show up far more often than we admit. And for many academics, those emotions become so intertwined with our identity that even seeing the phrase "making time to write" can trigger a full-body "Nope!"  I was reminded of this last week during the National Women's Studies Association conference in Puerto Rico. The conference was beautifully integrated with local scholars, activists, and artists, creating a powerful space for community and reflection.  What surprised me most, though, was the range of reactions people had when they walked by our booth and saw my book. Some people laughed; some avoided eye contact and literally walked (or ran!) away; others said, "You're making me feel so bad." That emotional recoil is exactly why today's episode exists. This week, I'm diving deep into what guilt, shame, and overwhelm around writing really reveal—not about you as an individual, but about the sociocultural and institutional contexts you're working within. If you've internalized the idea that your inconsistent writing practice is a personal flaw, this discussion will help you understand why that narrative is wrong, and how to reclaim the sense of agency you absolutely do have. If you've ever thought, "I should be writing," and immediately felt terrible, this one's for you. Tune in, and let's talk about what's really holding back your academic writing and how to move through it. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.
