• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Stephan
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: never told your production of I Heart Radio and welcome
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to another Women Around the World, and we decided to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: do a little different one today. We love when listeners
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: ascend us suggestions and or just do the work for us.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It's even more delightful. And we've had a few suggestions
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and some information given to us, so we thought, let's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: take a minute and do a listener male edition of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Women around the World. And actually I want to read
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: one from Patty. She wrote, Hi, I have a suggestion
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: for the Women around the World segment. I was wondering
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: if you could do an episode with Lisa and Lung
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: com She's an indigenous rights activist and the president of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the one fifty five member Assembly in charge of acting
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the new constitution in Chile um and this year she
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: has been on a bunch of lists about influential women
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: around the world, yes, including The Times one hundred. She
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: also said, that's a link to the speech uh that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: she gave Long Kong right after being voted president of
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the Assembly, and she writes at the beginning she speaks
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: her native language, my Pudongan, and I'm so sorry if
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I said that wrong, I'm pretty sure that's how it goes. Uh.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: The speech was really emotional for a lot of minorities,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: like indigenous people, women in the LGBTQ community, and I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people cried while watching it on TV,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: myself included. Um and yes, oh my gosh. She is
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal individual and a scholar, a teacher, very passionate
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: about the language and making sure that the language lived
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on it says of her in her time one most
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: influential people. Of one article that she has featured on,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: they give a part of her speech which says, uh,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: today a new Chile is created, one that's pluralistic, multi lingual,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: with all its cultures, with all its people, with its women,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and with all its territories. This is our dream for
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: writing the new constitution, which is I got chills. I'm
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I got chills, and her people my pouchay.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: She was so adamant that that being included in just
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: being recognized within Chile and the phenomenal influence that they've
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: had in the culture. And yeah, she is distinguished with
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: two doctorates in the academic world. Continues to speak at
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the different schools and yeah, we'll be heading up this
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: constitutional rewrite, which is phenomenal. I don't know if I've
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: ever really seen that kind of change in a country,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and I love that. I love to see good change
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: when there are so many sad ones. Um, and do
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: celebrate what she has done. So thank you so much
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Patty for sending her our way, because just reading about
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: her is phenomenal. Yes, yes, lutely. We also want to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: read a letter, like a physical letter that we received
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: from a listener, John in Japan. Yes, oh, in the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: papers so like soft oh, I love it. Um, I'm
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a sucker for like good stationary. And also John sent
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: us a bunch of kick cats and calendars and spices,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: all kinds of things from Japan. Yes, not necessary, but
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: very much appreciated. And we definitely split it among the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: team and it's all gone. Everybody was happy and everybody
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: thought over things. There was some bargaining going on. It
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was very very good. But John also sent us some
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: suggestions for this segment that we wanted to to read
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll get to one day, the first being
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Jane Nakata. Jane Nakata, John writes, is a New Zealander
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and long term president of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. I've heard
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: her name in Facebook groups. It didn't realize she was
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: doing so much work. Plus, she has a podcast with
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: one and sixteen episodes. I have listened to too so far.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: She are some of the lady she's interviewed, maybe of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: interest for a future episode. And then the Airplane Geeks podcast,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: John writes the weekly host our group of guys. What
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: they do a good job promoting women in aviation. Recent
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: guest Erica Armstrong was really good. She was a commercial
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: pilot and is now an aviation professor. On the right
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: side of the website, scrolled down to tags the website
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: being Airplane Geeks dot com and you'll find the women
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in Aviation tag. Easy way to find episode six one six,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Latina's in Aviation and more episodes. I'm an aviation geek
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: myself and have listened to their podcast on many long drives.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Free diving another of my hobbies, but probably of less
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: interest to Sminty. It isn't a mainstream sport, but in
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Instagram picks it looks really cool beautiful. Holding your breath
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: for three plus minutes is physically and mentally challenging and rewarding.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Some women's records get close to men's. I'm not aware
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of any women's specific issues, so an interview with a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: free diver would possibly be less about sminthy spincy typical
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: issues and more on the sport work she does outside
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of free diving. My diving instructor Donnie hosts the podcast
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: at free dive dot com, and about one half of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: his interviews are with women in the sport, mostly the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: elite athletes diving to two hundred feet yes, two hundred
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: feet down on a one breath. Episodes are longer than
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: an hour, so we've got to be into the sport
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to listen. Episode one fifteen with Claire Paris could be
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a good spinty twenty minute interview, and you can find
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: more about her on Instagram or at free dive Cafe
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: dot com, where there's an entry on her. An interview
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: with her could be on her work in marine biology,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: women in the field, and free diving. Most Free Dive
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Cafe interviews focused on sport training, but Claire's goes into
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: her work mostly, so that's why she'd be my top
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: recommendation for spancy interesting to a wider group of listeners.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: UM also I just want to include this, Samantha, because
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you didn't. Unfortunately I bought the letter, but you didn't
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: get to read it. Here's a specific note to you.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Samantha's com nuts about age. The older I get, the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: happier I am. Body isn't as fast in my sports,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm fighting aging by taking care of myself. Don't
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: think I look or feel as old as I actually am,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: getting over issues from my past, working towards future goals. Yes, yes,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: aren't we all? Yes, Well, thank you so much for
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the taking the time to write this to both of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: these listeners. But John and we love a good handwritten letter.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: We love these suggestions. We add them to our list um,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: so thank you, thank you all so much. We love
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: getting these suggestions and putting these people in our crosshairs
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: so we know what's going on, because yeah, we're very
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: isolated in the US sometimes, and I say isolated as
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in like everything's American centric. So thank you so much
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: for reaching out as a usual patty, thank you for
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: continuing to keep us up today. What's happening in July?
• 6:50

• 6:54
  Speaker 1: good information. I feel like she's our correspondent, chilling, So
• 6:58

• 7:01
