We Should Be Recording This
Have you ever started out chatting casually with friends and somewhere in the midst of the conversation found you’ve stumbled into something really interesting? We have. And in those moments, one phrase kept popping up… “We should be recording this.” Now we’re recording it! The premiere episode of our new segment, We Should Be Recording This, is available now. In this discussion, Wendy confesses to assuming someone’s gender based on their role as a leader and an expert. We all contemplate how to overcome a lifetime of living in the patriarchy and other experiences in gender, misgender and pronouns.
Future episodes of We Should Be Recording This will be bonus content for patrons. You can join us on Patreon for $1 a month at the Front Row Seats level or higher to check out all of our extended segments and additional content.Thanks as always for listening and for your support.
