Hi, Halima.

Hi, Iani.

And hello to the listeners. Welcome to the Polyester podcast. I'm Ayoni and I'm the founding editor-in-chief of Polyester and the author of Four Little Sick Girls, which is available now. I'm Halima, the community editor of Polyester Seed and the co-s the Co-Ster podcast. This is The Sleepover Club, a feminist pop culture podcast. We pull apart the hashtag discourse in the hope of making

some sense of it all. Before we get started, please like, great and review. It helps us so much. Any,

do you have any reviews to read that this week? We do! We have Love, Love, Love, with a Love Heart,

five stars. I feel like I'm sitting with my friends having an educated and fun gnatur.

You two, lovely ladies, have such a beautiful dynamic that gets me excited every week when I see a new episode is released.

I love how class, race, gender, privilege, sexuality is all touched upon in each episode,

achieved in a delicate manner.

I truly hope this podcast begins to get the recognition that it deserves.
