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 »

Such a great pod! Fun hosts highlighting important topics. Highly recommended.

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 »

I’ve waited too long to review, but I couldn’t help it, I was too busy catching up on ALL the episodes! Now maybe I can get some work done... In all seriousness, listening to these awesome ladies has helped me realize I am not alone! They use phrases I use which I rarely hear from others, they...Read full review »

I'm 63, a sci-fi & fantasy geek since before those were even terms, and I LOVE this podcast although it's def not made for people like me. Love the energy, the buzz the presenters bring, and the proud stroppy feminism.Read full review »

This podcast is my new favorite thing!! I’ve spent the last 3 years of college studying representation in genre films and sometimes I don’t feel like I’m taken seriously because of it, but listening to Courtney, Preeti, and Cher helped me realize that there are other women like me out there who...Read full review »

If you are a nerd girl and love talking nerdy things...this is the podcast for you! This sounds like my friends and I when we get together and I’m here for it! Courtney, Preeti, and Cher bring great enthusiasm to discuss women and the nerd-verse and it is a great time for all, whether sitting and...Read full review »

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!
Cat_Eyed_Fox via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/19
I am not always up to date on the different fan worlds, but no matter what I enjoy listening to you all discuss them. I love listening to your conversations about the amazing women out there, as well as the bits of pop culture that I sometimes have forgotten about or need more info on. So great!...Read full review »

I had never heard of this show or the hosts, but someone recommended a specific episode to me, and I immediately followed that up with their recent episode about Avengers: Endgame. I love the enthusiasm of the hosts, and they gave me a perspective I wasn't seeing elsewhere. I've since...Read full review »
BJ Nemeth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/19
I love listening to Cher, Preeti and Courtney on my commute back home! It must be amusing for the other drivers watch me laugh out loud or suddenly yell “YES!”. 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 »

I love Courtney on Trends Like These and finally dove into this podcast and I’m so glad I did! A great relevant podcast about geek news and trends
Jacqui Mae via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/19
I look forward to listening to you gals talk about all of the things I’ve loved since I was a young girl. It’s hard to find content like that one you put out where it’s all completely women discussing women in genre and I’m so happy this podcast exists. Can’t wait for the upcoming episodes!
Seashore16 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/19
I’m loving allllll of this. It shines a light on a topic that sorely needs more awareness & discussion. The hosts are witty, interesting, and inspired. You need to know about this.
nyclongal via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/09/19
I’ve listened to Strong Female Characters off and on as I do, but the Forgotten Women Of Genre has become a daily necessity. I’ve always enjoyed the podcast, and this miniseries has been everything I like about it times 10.
RochelleSpike via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/19
I followed Courtney over from Trends Like These and stayed for EVERYTHING. These ladies are fantastic. They talk about all of the nerdoms that make my day, in a manner that is accessible, fun, and powerful! I’m so glad that I’ve started listening. In addition, my children listen. They listen,...Read full review »

Magical. Fascinating. Provides knowledge. This is a podcast everyone needs to listen to. 💐😇
Starburst6666 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/19/19
Between Preeti's laughter and publishing industry knowledge, Cher's direction and leadership, and Courtney's informed ep-eds on all things geek, this is truly one of the best geek culture podcasts around.Read full review »

I’m very glad to have found this show. It’s funny and gives a different perspective on media in which I’m interested. Their Forgotten Women of Genre series is inspiring and delightful. You should definitely give it a listen.
Hrionic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/19
I’ve been a fan of the SYFY Fangrrls online writing for awhile now, so I’m long overdue to hear the podcast. Luckily, my entrance coincides with the “Forgotten Women Of Genre” series. It does not disappoint. Some of these stories (Marcia Lucas) I’m familiar with. Some (Helen Gibson) I’ve never...Read full review »

I’ve listened to this podcast since it premiered. There have been some growing pains while Cher and Preeti figured out what the show was going to be, but I have looked forward to every episode. The guest appearance of the ladies from Thirst Aid Kit is a particular highlight. Courtney’s addition...Read full review »

I’ve listen to three so far and have really enjoyed them! It’s nice to hear Someone finally reviewing some women who have accomplished so much but haven’t gotten the recognition. Thanks for sharing the stories!
mebhjmbam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/19
Any podcast where we get my girl Preeti laughing is a total plus. Bonus points for geeking out about SF, fantasy, film, TV, books, and Cher going on rants (which are *fire*). A great selection of interviews with different people in media from writers, to showrunners, to actors. Speak geek like a...Read full review »

I feel like I’m at a sleepover with a bunch of nerdy friends. I love this podcast and it never fails to crack me up and put a smile on my face!
AmyEileen88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/19
I really enjoy the podcast. The chemistry between Courtney, Cher, and Preeti is awesome. I learn so much about myself and Fandom from listening. It helps me understand what I am doing right, and ways I can help make fandom better for others. Listening to different points of view on a fandom you...Read full review »

Came for Courtney, stayed for literally everything else. Very possibly my new favorite podcast! 💚

I’m only a couple episodes in, but I really love the discussions taking place on this show, and find myself agreeing out loud with the hosts multiple times per episode. Love, love, love it. Thank you for putting out such wonderful content.

Really enjoy. Thanks for confirming my Keanu sledgehammer feels.
Bil Norris via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/19
Took these ladies 10 MINUTES of talking about dying their hair purple to finally get to their “Strong Females” podcast... wow. Way to hand your naysayers all the ammo they need. Some occasional interesting points on character gripes, but mostly just a lot of complaining without being fair to what...Read full review »

This show would be a lot better if Preeti and the PoC’s that guest on it weren’t constantly interrupted by Cher.

I love the hosts and the different guests! Hearing some fantastic women discuss media makes my heart happy!
Lauren Nettles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/18
I did not know until today that there was another woman who also lived at the intersection of being a Leia stan and genre fan, and who also hung out at Pat Field’s back in the day. (Do you also have a ton of Neoprints on your beeper?) Anyway this podcast is really fun and energetic and smart and...Read full review »

Wholly mackerel!!! A group of folks that think like me. I love this! Talks of Sci-fi with gays, POC, queer, fan-fic, ships and canons(still learning about these definitions lol.).
