0:12.8	Welcome to the waves Slates podcast about gender, feminism and reunions. Hey,
0:18.4	if it's good enough for sex in the city or the L word for that matter, it's good enough for us.
0:22.8	I'm June Thomas, Senior Managing Producer of Slate Podcast. This week we have a Christmas miracle.
0:29.2	For one week only, we've reassembled the first wave of waves podcast host. So I'm joined by Hannah
