“I found this podcast a few years ago while looking for stories about powerful women. Katie and Olivia have a way of telling stories about women I would’ve never known existed.
As women so often we only hear mens stories, as theirs were the only ones deemed worthy to be remembered historically....”Read full review »

“This is one of the most hateful shows I’ve ever come across. The worst part is, it’s trying to disguise itself as something ‘positive for women’ while spreading vitriol towards the other half of the global population. There straight up is not a single show out there that prides itself on ‘only...”Read full review »

“This is just the girl power podcast the world needed. I’ve learned so much about so many amazing women in just a few weeks (newbie). Anytime I come across a historical woman I want to learn about I always check to see if WHN has an episode on her. 10/10 would recommend! Also fun to listen while...”Read full review »

“If you are interested in women’s history, you need to listen to this show!

Many episodes include...”Read full review »

“Maybe they could let the men are evil narrative go. The arrogance these two have just because they’re women is so grating. If they wanted true equality they wouldn’t paint women as saviors and up here on the pedestal, and the way it SHOULD be is crushing men like the peons they are beneath the...”Read full review »

“It’s taken a turn. I used to feel this was such a great podcast for little girls to listen to with me. But the political undertone and attempt to push cross dressing stories takes the woman history out of what made this podcast great. There’s sadly such an agenda here that I had to stop...”Read full review »

“When I first turned on What’sHerName like 3 or 4 years ago, I wasn’t very into learning about history that didn’t have to do with myths, legends, etc. (Greek religion, for example). But that’s not the kind of history people NEED to be aware of. The history Katie, Olivia and the experts they...”Read full review »
