Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to stephone
- 0:07Speaker 1: never told your production of by Heart Radio. And Happy
- 0:19Speaker 1: New Year, everybody. Yes, Happy New Year. You know. I
- 0:24Speaker 1: have been looking over some of our old episodes of
- 0:28Speaker 1: Women around the World, Activists around the World, fictional women
- 0:31Speaker 1: around the World. But I was thinking about how long
- 0:35Speaker 1: has been, and I did not realize because time means nothing.
- 0:39Speaker 1: But we started this and I was like, wow, I
- 0:44Speaker 1: need to go back and we'll get all of our
- 0:45Speaker 1: episodes because it's been a lot and we have gone
- 0:47Speaker 1: through a lot of people and a lot of conversations,
- 0:50Speaker 1: um and it's been exciting. We've even had a few interviews,
- 0:53Speaker 1: and then there's been some women that we didn't even
- 0:54Speaker 1: feature on the Activists, but there were interviews as full
- 0:58Speaker 1: episodes because it was too good to be just like
- 1:01Speaker 1: a fifteen minute segment, not noting we could probably split
- 1:04Speaker 1: it up, but you know, and I'm like, you know
- 1:06Speaker 1: what we need We need to come back over it.
- 1:07Speaker 1: I know last year we did a year in review
- 1:10Speaker 1: and we're going to kind of revisit some of those questions.
- 1:13Speaker 1: But for this year's I thought we would do a
- 1:16Speaker 1: top three plus one exchange. I know you love the
- 1:19Speaker 1: plus additionals and do you have bonuses? Do you have
- 1:22Speaker 1: bonuses on this one? I mean I wrote them down,
- 1:26Speaker 1: but I won't do any Okay. See see I knew
- 1:29Speaker 1: she was So what I thought would be fun is
- 1:31Speaker 1: for you to tell me your top three from favorite
- 1:36Speaker 1: fictional women around the world. And I will tell you
- 1:39Speaker 1: my top three activists around the world and then give
- 1:42Speaker 1: you my one I guess the one favorite, just to
- 1:45Speaker 1: not to add more work, and also because we have
- 1:47Speaker 1: so much content out there, my favorite one of the
- 1:50Speaker 1: fictional women and your favorite one of the activists around
- 1:53Speaker 1: the world. I wonder if we're gonna overlap. Mm hmm, Yeah,
- 1:58Speaker 1: I'm curious. I was thinking when I was scrolling through.
- 2:02Speaker 1: I was like, I wonder which one Samantha will choose? Yeah,
- 2:08Speaker 1: I know. Keep you on edge of your seat. UM,
- 2:11Speaker 1: I will say this for your listeners. We would love
- 2:14Speaker 1: to hear what your favorites were or types of people
- 2:17Speaker 1: that you think we would we should talk more about.
- 2:20Speaker 1: UM if you have countries that we have not covered,
- 2:23Speaker 1: because y'all it's it's kind of difficult to try to
- 2:26Speaker 1: to try to make this list with enough information and
- 2:30Speaker 1: enough correct information. UM. And as well as getting all
- 2:34Speaker 1: of all of the information and all the different people's
- 2:37Speaker 1: part of the different crews correct information. That's the other
- 2:41Speaker 1: part of that, UM and and all of that. So
- 2:43Speaker 1: if you have any suggestions or we love the suggestions.
- 2:46Speaker 1: A few of you've already sent in some a few
- 2:48Speaker 1: of you even wrote some of our episodes. Thank you
- 2:50Speaker 1: for the Olympics. You know, you know who I'm talking to, UM,
- 2:54Speaker 1: and so that that's amazing. So if you have any
- 2:57Speaker 1: for this year placing it to us. UH, typically our
- 3:01Speaker 1: biggest thing is that internationally or something that they've done
- 3:05Speaker 1: that is uh intersectional, so they're in the US is
- 3:09Speaker 1: an intersectional person who does something significant and that they
- 3:13Speaker 1: are still currently alive. Because we want to be able
- 3:16Speaker 1: to give flowers to these people today. UM. So if
- 3:20Speaker 1: you have suggestions sending our way, and if you want
- 3:23Speaker 1: to send your top three, send it our way because
- 3:27Speaker 1: we love as well. So we're gonna start off with you. Yes,
- 3:32Speaker 1: what was your top three fictional women around the world? Okay,
- 3:38Speaker 1: that's hard. It was difficult, but I tried to I
- 3:41Speaker 1: try to get a mix of what I covered this year,
- 3:46Speaker 1: and I tried to be I tried to not just
- 3:50Speaker 1: choose my favorite character. So keep that in mind. This
- 3:55Speaker 1: is not necessarily my favorite characters I picked. Actually most
- 3:58Speaker 1: of them aren't, but one of them that is is
- 4:01Speaker 1: Tara Bradford. I covered her for my birthday. She is
- 4:04Speaker 1: from Final Fantasy three Slash six. One of the reasons
- 4:06Speaker 1: I loved covering her was because she was one of
- 4:09Speaker 1: the very first characters as a child, who was a woman,
- 4:15Speaker 1: who was my favorite character, who was the main character
- 4:18Speaker 1: who people loved. I loved her, and so it was
- 4:21Speaker 1: just really fun to like go back and revisit that
- 4:23Speaker 1: I haven't played that game in forever. I think that
- 4:25Speaker 1: that character still has a really big, like a legacy
- 4:30Speaker 1: that was left behind, and it was just cool reading
- 4:33Speaker 1: about it. Because I love video games. I love the
- 4:35Speaker 1: history of video games and how characters get made, and
- 4:38Speaker 1: so it was just neat to to dig deeper into
- 4:41Speaker 1: this character that I've loved since I was like five
- 4:44Speaker 1: years old. And in fact, my family is nerdy enough
- 4:47Speaker 1: that at we were visiting over the holidays, we play
- 4:50Speaker 1: video game music when we decorate the tree, and we
- 4:53Speaker 1: were playing Terra's theme song, which is a beautiful song,
- 4:58Speaker 1: and I was like, the whole family is enjoying a
- 5:01Speaker 1: piece of this character. I love, I like it. Yes, okay,
- 5:06Speaker 1: so that's fun. The second one is America Chavez. And
- 5:10Speaker 1: the reason I love this one is because Joey came
- 5:12Speaker 1: on to you talk with us about why this character
- 5:17Speaker 1: impacted them so much, And it was just really cool
- 5:20Speaker 1: because I knew I had known about this character. We
- 5:23Speaker 1: talked about doctor Strange, Multiverse of Madness. Um. But it's
- 5:28Speaker 1: pretty rare. I've been very selfish so far. It's pretty rare.
- 5:31Speaker 1: We cover a character that I don't know that well,
- 5:34Speaker 1: it does happen, but it's pretty rare. UM. And I
- 5:37Speaker 1: knew the main storyline of this character. But it was
- 5:39Speaker 1: just really cool to bring someone else on who had
- 5:42Speaker 1: grown up with this character, who loved it, who had
- 5:44Speaker 1: this knowledge of it, and to get to like nerd
- 5:47Speaker 1: out over that. It was a very fun, rewarding experience
- 5:52Speaker 1: because a lot of times I feel like and I
- 5:54Speaker 1: think this works, it's a fun dynamic, but I come
- 5:56Speaker 1: on and I'm like, haven't you read comic fifteen of
- 6:00Speaker 1: the Marvel Star Wars run And You're like, no, what
- 6:06Speaker 1: does that mean? So it's just kind of neat to
- 6:09Speaker 1: see to be on your side of it for what
- 6:15Speaker 1: actually really enjoyed it. Yeah, it's great learning things and
- 6:20Speaker 1: I didn't have to do that. Yeah, and I just
- 6:22Speaker 1: love hearing that passion people have about fictional characters, So
- 6:25Speaker 1: that was really cool. My last one is probably surprised
- 6:28Speaker 1: some people, but it's Setene Creeze. We covered her in
- 6:33Speaker 1: the beginning of like my whole Star Wars run through
- 6:38Speaker 1: in April May June, however many months. She's definitely not
- 6:43Speaker 1: my favorite character, but I really like talking about her
- 6:45Speaker 1: because I think, like politically and philosophically, she's a fascinating
- 6:49Speaker 1: character because she was kind of the pacifist ruler of
- 6:54Speaker 1: the Mandalorians who got assassinated, and it's just a really
- 6:58Speaker 1: albi one Canobi and her were in love um and she.
- 7:01Speaker 1: They're like the opposite of what happened with Anakin and
- 7:03Speaker 1: pad May Wear and Satine died and Opi one was
- 7:06Speaker 1: able to not become Darth Vader, so I she's It
- 7:12Speaker 1: was just like one of those things where it was
- 7:14Speaker 1: very fascinating in terms of the lore and the because
- 7:17Speaker 1: Stars does a lot with philosophy, so it was interesting
- 7:20Speaker 1: in the politics of it, and then the fallout of
- 7:24Speaker 1: that character and how divisive she is because some people
- 7:28Speaker 1: don't hate her um some people ever. But it was
- 7:32Speaker 1: fun to like try to explain Mandalorian culture in a
- 7:35Speaker 1: very short episode. Yes you did, Yes, you know what
- 7:54Speaker 1: we did? Overlap and because I also said America Chavez
- 7:57Speaker 1: as well, because I knew nothing of our care her
- 8:00Speaker 1: except for the movie and the one movie that I
- 8:02Speaker 1: really didn't love, but this character was great, so, but
- 8:05Speaker 1: I didn't have the in depth information and Joey coming
- 8:07Speaker 1: on and doing that episode was phenomenal. I also love
- 8:10Speaker 1: that Joey is so passionate that they made like, let
- 8:13Speaker 1: me do this episode. Is it okay if I do this,
- 8:15Speaker 1: let me just write it, And then they're like, even
- 8:17Speaker 1: if you can, you can, you can do it. I
- 8:18Speaker 1: just want you to do it, and we're like, no, Joey,
- 8:20Speaker 1: come on. And they were so great. They did an
- 8:23Speaker 1: amazing job, a wonderful way to have them being a
- 8:26Speaker 1: part of an episode. So I was so phenomenal to
- 8:29Speaker 1: see that. And then the watching the two of you
- 8:31Speaker 1: geek out about Marvel was another perspective of this that
- 8:36Speaker 1: I haven't had. So it's really fun to watch the
- 8:39Speaker 1: two of you going back and forth and talking about
- 8:41Speaker 1: this fact and that fact, and I'm like, I don't
- 8:44Speaker 1: know what's happening, but amazing, great, great, UM, just with
- 8:48Speaker 1: all the questions that I had that the two of
- 8:50Speaker 1: you together can tell me all about UM and the
- 8:53Speaker 1: fact that the y'all love something that you grew up
- 8:55Speaker 1: with seeing it come to screen and talking about the
- 8:58Speaker 1: realities of the disappoint as well as the excitement of
- 9:02Speaker 1: it all. So it's kind of it was really fun
- 9:04Speaker 1: for that episode having a third person coming in, Hey, yeah,
- 9:08Speaker 1: so that y'all can banter instead of me just going
- 9:10Speaker 1: uh huh, okay what But I will say, and I
- 9:15Speaker 1: don't think these were all in two but things that
- 9:18Speaker 1: you love watching you explain it is always fun, always fun.
- 9:22Speaker 1: So when you do anything with the Last of Us,
- 9:24Speaker 1: anything with Star Wars that you have been dying to do,
- 9:28Speaker 1: always a fun thing to watch. So I'll put that
- 9:32Speaker 1: in the top bariances as well. UM. And of course
- 9:36Speaker 1: with that, I'm going to talk about the activists that
- 9:39Speaker 1: we've talked about in two UM, and one of those
- 9:43Speaker 1: kind of cheating but I don't think it's cheating on
- 9:47Speaker 1: my top three and it was talking about the Olympics
- 9:50Speaker 1: when we were talking about the women of the specific
- 9:54Speaker 1: sports or competitions. I love it because we had a
- 9:57Speaker 1: lot of people writing in telling us what's going on
- 9:59Speaker 1: in their area. So I love that hearing things that
- 10:02Speaker 1: if we may have missed, because we missed a lot.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Obviously we can't talk too much about a full Olympic competition,
- 10:08Speaker 1: um within a fifteen minutes space, maybe ten minutes, maybe
- 10:12Speaker 1: twenty UM. But doing all of those, covering the different
- 10:15Speaker 1: sports which I typically don't watch, but seeing people break records,
- 10:19Speaker 1: women or those who identify as women break these records
- 10:22Speaker 1: is phenomenal and I loved every bit of it. People participating,
- 10:26Speaker 1: there's something that is the commandarie of it all. And
- 10:29Speaker 1: just being able to celebrate with other countries about what
- 10:32Speaker 1: is happening, and the people who are so young or
- 10:35Speaker 1: so like in the problem of their age. You know,
- 10:38Speaker 1: all of these things. I love it so anything with
- 10:41Speaker 1: I said that Winter Olympics specifically, but when we talked
- 10:43Speaker 1: about the Winter Olympics, when we talked about the Paralympics,
- 10:46Speaker 1: and just celebrating all of those. Of course you watched
- 10:49Speaker 1: it a lot more than I do. But being able
- 10:52Speaker 1: to read about it and coming back into it and
- 10:54Speaker 1: having a history of it because we've talked about women
- 10:56Speaker 1: in Olympics before and seeing it grow is a beauty,
- 11:00Speaker 1: a full thing. And then also seeing women challenging the
- 11:02Speaker 1: systems when they're wrong. So I had to put that
- 11:05Speaker 1: as one of my faves. I'm sorry. The other one
- 11:11Speaker 1: I love because it was historical for the United States. UH,
- 11:14Speaker 1: seeing the confirmation of the Supreme Court Justice Judge Katangi
- 11:18Speaker 1: Brown Jackson, who became the first black woman to sit
- 11:22Speaker 1: on the bench. Already, Like, there's so much happening, and
- 11:26Speaker 1: we know it's an ugly controversy, but it was such
- 11:29Speaker 1: a light to talk about, especially with some of the
- 11:31Speaker 1: arguments that she's been able to make. Um, it's been beautiful.
- 11:34Speaker 1: So I can't wait to see as she is the
- 11:37Speaker 1: one of the newest judges obviously, UM of our Supreme
- 11:42Speaker 1: Court of the United States Supreme Court, UH, beking change
- 11:45Speaker 1: or fighting for change because we know she's not going
- 11:47Speaker 1: to sit back. Um, none of the justices really sit back.
- 11:51Speaker 1: We have majority, so that's a problem. But UM, in
- 11:54Speaker 1: that conversation, I think it was a really important and
- 11:56Speaker 1: so being able to celebrate that, being able to celebrate
- 11:59Speaker 1: a big win for black women, it felt nice. So
- 12:04Speaker 1: I think that's one of my top three moments as well,
- 12:08Speaker 1: and then the other one. Uh and I think you'll
- 12:12Speaker 1: know why because I thought it was really really fun
- 12:14Speaker 1: when we were talking about bees Letty Pesh from the
- 12:19Speaker 1: Man environmental activists and talking about the source of bees
- 12:22Speaker 1: and how they are connected to the indigenous community and
- 12:27Speaker 1: why it's so important that we talked about the bees.
- 12:30Speaker 1: I know, you love bees, like I remember what I
- 12:31Speaker 1: was talking like we were. I was like, Hey, we're
- 12:33Speaker 1: gonna talk about this. You're like, yeah, because it is.
- 12:35Speaker 1: It's such a stainable part of our environment and why
- 12:39Speaker 1: they are important, and now it's kind of a little
- 12:41Speaker 1: more widely known. Don't bother these We need to protect
- 12:46Speaker 1: these bees, and they've known it for years, So being
- 12:49Speaker 1: able to talk about her and her work. Of course,
- 12:52Speaker 1: we love talking about all the native and indigenous activists
- 12:55Speaker 1: because they are the front and center when it comes
- 12:57Speaker 1: to climate change, um, environmental protection and all of that UM,
- 13:01Speaker 1: So we definitely want to talk about that as part
- 13:04Speaker 1: of the bigger conversation when it comes to climate change
- 13:07Speaker 1: and the impact it has on our world in general.
- 13:11Speaker 1: So in the ecological systems, we need to go back
- 13:14Speaker 1: and talk about the Amazon rainforest as they're being burned
- 13:16Speaker 1: down again. I guess it's continually happening. But you know,
- 13:20Speaker 1: talking about her, what she's done and the impact that
- 13:22Speaker 1: she did, I thought was one of the best fun,
- 13:25Speaker 1: fun part of the conversations that we've had. And I
- 13:27Speaker 1: felt like you and I you are really just enjoying it.
- 13:29Speaker 1: So it made me very happy to Yeah, I do.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I do love bees like I. That is one of
- 13:36Speaker 1: the things like if you are at a party and
- 13:39Speaker 1: you see me and I got a glass of wine
- 13:41Speaker 1: in hand, and you're like, I just need somebody to
- 13:43Speaker 1: take over the conversation. I'm tired, Go ask me about
- 13:45Speaker 1: bees and I will talk, talk and talk. Um, it's
- 13:50Speaker 1: like one of the it's one of like my I
- 13:53Speaker 1: would say ten things you could just ask me about.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Now I'm going go and go and you don't have
- 13:56Speaker 1: to worry about anything else. Um. Yeah, this was hard,
- 14:00Speaker 1: hard because you always bring so many people when you
- 14:03Speaker 1: were joking about like my bonuses. I did write down
- 14:05Speaker 1: several names, um, because it was hard for me to decide.
- 14:09Speaker 1: But I will pick one and it's a recent one.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Hindu Almaru Ibrahim, who was the cryptographer and digenous activists
- 14:17Speaker 1: all about environmentalism because I do think, as you said,
- 14:20Speaker 1: it's so important to us that we highlight the work
- 14:24Speaker 1: of indigenous activists that has continued been there forever, but
- 14:28Speaker 1: been so long ignored, and so I always love it
- 14:32Speaker 1: when we get to talk about that, and then I
- 14:34Speaker 1: things like climate change in our environment and the health
- 14:38Speaker 1: of our our planet and water and all of those
- 14:40Speaker 1: intersections of m racism and sexism and all of that
- 14:44Speaker 1: stuff that makes makes everything worse. That is one of
- 14:47Speaker 1: my biggest issues. That's one of the things I care
- 14:49Speaker 1: about the most is our environments. And so every time
- 14:53Speaker 1: we do one about people protecting it but also protecting
- 14:57Speaker 1: it in that kind of intersectional justice way that we
- 14:59Speaker 1: talked about with one of our book clubs, because you
- 15:02Speaker 1: can't ignore like the reality of who is hurting more
- 15:05Speaker 1: and and all of the things behind that um And
- 15:08Speaker 1: so I like when we get to focus on uh
- 15:12Speaker 1: an indigenous activist, especially or any marginalized activist who is
- 15:16Speaker 1: really doing the intersectional work of environmentalism. That's that's so
- 15:23Speaker 1: important to me. That is like one of the most
- 15:25Speaker 1: important things I think, and so I'm every time we
- 15:28Speaker 1: get to do that, whether it's bees. I also loved
- 15:31Speaker 1: our recent Emily Pinnon episode where all these things where
- 15:36Speaker 1: we can't I'm all for, like, yes, recycle more, but
- 15:40Speaker 1: it's just so much bigger than that, right. So I
- 15:42Speaker 1: like seeing these activists that you bring where they know
- 15:46Speaker 1: it's so much bigger than that, right. And yeah, I
- 15:49Speaker 1: love doing the ones the way we talked about the
- 15:51Speaker 1: record breaking women UM, which you kind of overlaped with
- 15:54Speaker 1: like mountaineers, and that that was a fun subject this year. Um,
- 15:58Speaker 1: there's so many things at women and marginalized community have
- 16:02Speaker 1: done that we do want to continue celebrating. And yes,
- 16:04Speaker 1: we will be doing that until the end of time
- 16:07Speaker 1: maybe I hope. So anyway, until the end of this series,
- 16:13Speaker 1: I don't know, but doing we're gonna keep going with
- 16:18Speaker 1: all of that, and yes, we're gonna add hopefully more
- 16:21Speaker 1: organizations because we have talked about different organizations, especially as
- 16:24Speaker 1: we talk about reproductive rights around the world and different
- 16:27Speaker 1: nonprofits that have come together to work for the rights
- 16:31Speaker 1: of people. We've talked about iran um and the Iranian people,
- 16:34Speaker 1: and hopefully we can keep have a conversation about that
- 16:37Speaker 1: because we don't want to stop highlighting things for those
- 16:40Speaker 1: who are oppressed. We want to talk about the the
- 16:45Speaker 1: continued people are protesting in China, UM in Hong Kong.
- 16:48Speaker 1: We know there's a lot of things happening and we
- 16:50Speaker 1: need to have that conversation as well. UM. We don't
- 16:53Speaker 1: want to ignore all of the unfortunate darkness because we
- 16:57Speaker 1: don't because we're scared to talk about it. Because there
- 17:00Speaker 1: are people in those movements who are making an amazing change,
- 17:03Speaker 1: and that we need to speak up about UM continuously.
- 17:06Speaker 1: And that's what's something that we think is important. That
- 17:09Speaker 1: is something that we hope that we can use our
- 17:11Speaker 1: platform for UM and continue to speak up for those
- 17:15Speaker 1: who can't for themselves and for those who have just
- 17:18Speaker 1: damn smart getting done right. Do you want to make
- 17:23Speaker 1: sure we celebrate that as well? Because I'm always in
- 17:26Speaker 1: awe of the amazing work that people do because they
- 17:29Speaker 1: are committed for something bigger than themselves and that's amazing.
- 17:47Speaker 1: As for the future, Annie, I asked you this last year,
- 17:50Speaker 1: I want to ask you this this year. What can
- 17:53Speaker 1: we look forward to for the next year? In fictional
- 17:57Speaker 1: women around the world. Oh, you've already heard about my pickle, Um, Well,
- 18:03Speaker 1: the last of a show is coming out everybody. If
- 18:06Speaker 1: you haven't heard me say it a million times. They're
- 18:08Speaker 1: not currently a sponsor, but damn they should be. I'm
- 18:12Speaker 1: looking forward to that. I am in a weird situation
- 18:14Speaker 1: about spoilers with it, but I am looking forward to that.
- 18:17Speaker 1: I'm curious about There's a lot of new media coming
- 18:21Speaker 1: out with Marvel and with Star Wars. Like Listener Dina,
- 18:27Speaker 1: who writes infrequently about Star Wars and I so much
- 18:30Speaker 1: love you, thank you read your message before on listener mail,
- 18:35Speaker 1: was like, how are you excited about? And they listened

- 20:17Speaker 1: they love so many amazing things when it comes to
- 20:20Speaker 1: UH marginalized people and the content that needs to be

- 20:34Speaker 1: important important and non binary people's. Um. We know that
- 20:39Speaker 1: we are watching in the US and a lot of
- 20:42Speaker 1: places where it's turned into a very conservative flip when
- 20:45Speaker 1: it comes to what is being targeted in our policies,
- 20:51Speaker 1: uh in just hateful crimes in general. So we will
- 20:54Speaker 1: we will continue to make sure that those who have
- 20:57Speaker 1: continued to work or uh continue to fight for those
- 21:00Speaker 1: communities are highlighted throughout. We hope to have more guests,
