- 0:17Speaker 1: Jamie here and me too. It's Caitlin incredible. Well off
- 0:23Speaker 1: to an amazing start as always. So this week listeners
- 0:28Speaker 1: were doing something a little different. It's a cross promotional.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I don't even know if that counts. If it's like
- 0:36Speaker 1: one of the hosts like, you can't cross over with yourself,
- 0:40Speaker 1: I will, I think you can. That sounds forty now, Yeah,
- 0:46Speaker 1: I crossed over with myself last night. I crossed over
- 0:49Speaker 1: with myself three times this morning. Okay, fine, we're crossing
- 0:53Speaker 1: over with ourselves. So this week, instead of a normally
- 0:57Speaker 1: scheduled episode, we're gonna be releasing a cross episode from
- 1:02Speaker 1: my new researched series called act Cast. We talked about
- 1:07Speaker 1: it a little bit before our nine to five episode
- 1:11Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, but yeah, we're we're releasing
- 1:14Speaker 1: one of those episodes into the bettel cast feed this week.
- 1:17Speaker 1: If you haven't tried the show out, I mean we couldn't.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Uh and then we'll be back with our with your
- 1:27Speaker 1: regularly scheduled programming next week. But I've chose this episode
- 1:32Speaker 1: to release into the feed. This is the third in
- 1:35Speaker 1: this series, which might seem kind of random, but there's
- 1:38Speaker 1: reasoning behind it that hopefully makes sense. Which is that
- 1:42Speaker 1: So the show is is me using the Kathy comics
- 1:47Speaker 1: that came out between to kind of just trace elements
- 1:52Speaker 1: of the Boomer generation that are very frustrating or very
- 1:56Speaker 1: complicated or very just It's a lot and this is
- 1:59Speaker 1: this is the episode that is about just kind of
- 2:02Speaker 1: a brief history of American feminism and how it's It's
- 2:07Speaker 1: stuff that we talked about on the show a lot,
- 2:08Speaker 1: but but I learned a lot doing it. It's just
- 2:10Speaker 1: about how, you know, feminism in the US almost always
- 2:16Speaker 1: hugely lacks intersectionality. I learned a ton about how, um
- 2:22Speaker 1: some of this I knew, but like how some of
- 2:24Speaker 1: the um, you know, most prominent white feminist leaders of
- 2:28Speaker 1: our time were deeply openly racist, topically openly homophobic, and
- 2:35Speaker 1: so uh there, and then there's also Cathey comics, so
- 2:38Speaker 1: there's celebrity. But it's mostly about the first and second
- 2:43Speaker 1: waves of feminism in the US. And where their successes
- 2:47Speaker 1: were and where they're huge glaring failures were. And yeah,
- 2:51Speaker 1: I feel like if you're a fan of the Bechtel Cast,
- 2:53Speaker 1: it's kind of relevant info because stuff that we've alluded
- 2:57Speaker 1: to on the show quite a bit. But I don't know,
- 3:02Speaker 1: the more I learned, the more I'm just like, damn
- 3:04Speaker 1: it truly has always been this way? How how frustrating? Yeah, well,
- 3:09Speaker 1: I appreciate you doing at cast and doing that deep
- 3:14Speaker 1: dive and providing all that context. It's a really great episode.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I think everyone. I think all of our listeners have
