Introducing: The Week in Women Podcast

Dear subscribers,

I’m incredibly excited to announce a new weekly podcast, The Week in Women. It’s a roundup of the week’s most important gender and women’s rights headlines, followed by a deeper dive into one specific story or issue. Future episodes will feature guests and experts; some weeks (like this one) it’ll just be me. My hope is that this can be a resource to break through the noise and, if you care about women’s rights, let you know what you might have missed and what the big news takeaways are for the week.

This week, the show includes the sentencing of R. Kelly, the unjust detainment and forthcoming show trial of Brittney Griner, and the big story: how the Supreme Court has thrown the US into chaos with its latest abortion ruling, and how anti-abortion prosecutors could use your digital trail against you in court.

As a thank you for subscribing, you get The Week in Women before anyone else — this week and every week.

As of early next week, you will (hopefully) be able to find the Week on Women on Apple podcasts, Spotify, and wherever else you listen. But for now, it’s just for you, and only here on Substack.

xx Jill
