A podcast focusing on women's stories in genre fiction and pop culture.

Great podcast.  Exactly what I've been missing in my line up.  I love the variety and the depth of female analysis.  All things nerdy and feminist.  I hope that the host can come back to the podcast someday soon.  I'll be waiting!
