I'm very excited for a couple reasons about this episode.

First off, it is our seventh episode and I was told when we started this podcast that the average

number of podcasts that people make it to is seven before they crash and burn and die.

So we made it so far. Well, actually, we haven't made it to eight. So like, we've made it to seven,

which makes me almost a little nervous because I'm very excited about this podcast. I'm also

quite honestly a little nervous about it because of what we're going to talk about. I'm very

interested in this topic and I'm thankful that my audience seems incredibly diverse. I recognize

that, obviously, a lot of my audience is predominantly women, which is great,

predominantly bachelor fans and bachelor nation is very diverse in terms of

their beliefs and where they come from. And so like I talked about on an earlier podcast,

the way my brain works, I like to consider the other points of view, the other side.

I like talking about topics that sometimes are difficult to talk about.

And I think that's my goal of today's podcast. Before we get into that,

I just want to again say thank you for everyone's comments. Quite honestly though,

your rankings on iTunes have slowed down. So if you guys who's if people are listening on iTunes,

could just go give us five stars. After you're done listening to this, it would be greatly

appreciated. Also, you can watch this on on YouTube and in all other platforms. So just a quick

plug that way. But today, I have my good friend Katie Ward with us today. And Katie is an writer,

an activist, an actor. She's also a feminist who has a very popular podcast. I want to make

sure I get it right. The enthusiasm enthusiast. You were so close.

The enthusiasm enthusiast. I picked it up. I read it and still got it wrong. I'm pretty

sure I might be dyslexic. I'm not kidding. I thought it could be an interesting conversation
