| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:08.2 | There are No Girls on the Internet as a production of IHeart Radio and UnBossed Creative. |
| 0:16.4 | I'm Bridget Todd, and this is There Are No Girls on the Internet. |
| 0:21.9 | This is There Are No Girls on the Internet, where we explore the intersection of identity, technology, and social media. |
| 0:27.3 | And this is another installment of our weekly news roundup, where we talk through stories that you might have missed online this week so you don't have to. |
