“OMG, how fun is this show?! It's basically 3 women sitting around geeking out about everything nerdy and celebrating all the strong women I LOVE in film & TV (from Mulan to Buffy). And it feels like I'm have a long lunch with my girlfriends having a fun and nerdy chat. Love it!”Read full review »

“Truthfully I have zero idea what ‘thirst’ and ‘frak, marry, kill’ episodes have to do with strong female characters—it’s not my cup of tea but to each their own I suppose—but I highly recommend the Forgotten Women of Genre series that’s tucked in randomly as bonus episodes. Those are brilliant...”Read full review »

“Funny, insightful, and full of feels, It’s like meeting up with my own geekery experts for pastries and hot chocolate after work to hear the latest scoops from wonderful works of genre. I deeply appreciate Cher’s punk rock personality, Courtney’s take-no-prisoners enthusiasm and Preeti’s...”Read full review »

“Firstly, this podcast is worth listening to for Preeti's giggles in the background. It's delightful. I admit, I started backwards with most recent episodes since I heard Evie from the Mummy was mentioned, but I soon knew I loved the podcast. Feminist geek discussions with an ensemble,...”Read full review »

“This podcast is my new favorite thing!!

“We also love geek and nerd stuff. This podcast is everything to me. I’m actively sad when I reach the end if the episode, and realize I’ll have to wait another week to kick back and rage against the capitalist patriarchy machine. I love all of you!”

The interviews are amazing as well, I have gotten to know many interesting geeks, and I have a gigantic to-read list thanks to Preeti. I...”Read full review »
