There are No Girls on the Internet as a production of IHeart Radio and UnBossed Creative.

I'm Bridget Todd, and this is There Are No Girls on the Internet.

I just kind of have to start out by thanking everybody who listened to our episode about the Hollow app.

I think it maybe is our most commented on and responded to episode we've ever put out in the five years we've been doing this show.

It got a lot of attention. People were really weighing in on the comments and pretty supportively, which was nice to

see. In the Spotify comments, listener Hoffsa wrote, when they go low, we go lava, which I think

very nicely captures the energy I was trying to channel. For folks who did not listen, the anti-abortion nonprofit live action wrote a piece about

the thoughts that I shared in an earlier news roundup about the Holo app, which listener Charlie

describes as a pray wall instead of a paywall because you have to pay to access the full

suite of prayers on the app.

We just did a very quick summary of the app and my thoughts in a roundup.

The anti-choice downprofit live action wrote a very disingenuous piece about it.

So Mike and I responded this week in a lengthy episode where props to you, producer, Mike, I feel like you really just

stood back and let me cook. Hey, I mean, I don't want to mess with a good thing. You clearly

had a lot that you wanted to say. I watched you spend a couple days, like, just pouring yourself into the research to build

a pretty substantial case against the Halo app and some of its investors, its spokespeople.

And yeah, you just had a lot to say.

So it was pretty cool to watch.

And also, like, I'm not trying to get in the way of that.

Well, I do have one small correction to that Holo app episode.

We spoke at length in the episode about how Peter Thiel, the billionaire Silicon Valley

mega investor, is one of the Hallow Apps funders.
