00:00:53.240and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them.
00:00:58.760I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are The Survivor Files.
00:01:02.380Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable, abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced.
00:01:09.920These are stories about what it takes to make it out alive.
00:01:13.740Listen to The Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:01:21.360If your bookshelf and your For You page are equally important to your personality, welcome home.
00:01:27.100Pro Society is a weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for anyone who thinks Pride and Prejudice and Love Island deserve the same level of discourse.
00:01:35.740Each week, we're connecting the dots between books, the internet, and pop culture with your favorite writers, book talk creators, and plenty of overthought opinions.
00:01:45.760Listen to Pro Society on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:01:53.060My name is Bridget Todd, and I love the internet.
00:01:56.400And the fun fact about me is that any time anyone brings up anything about the internet or technology,
00:02:01.500my first inclination is to tell them about how a woman whose story they might not know is actually the reason we have that thing.
00:02:08.240Like, did you know that a woman engineer is basically the reason we have cell phones and tablets?
00:02:12.760But that she was fired from IBM in the 50s for being trans, and her story was almost overlooked because of it.0.97
00:02:19.640Or what about those bored apes you might have been seeing on the social media feeds of celebrities like Jimmy Fallon, Paris Hilton, and Gwyneth Paltrow?0.92
00:02:26.800Did you know they were actually designed by a woman of color who kind of got screwed out of the credit?0.98
00:02:31.700Or what about the fact that a Black woman who worked at the social media platform Pinterest
00:02:36.320developed one of the first ever policies to keep medical misinformation off social media
00:02:41.160way before COVID was ever a thing, but that she was actually punished for it?
00:02:46.500Y'all, I cannot stop talking about the ways that women, Black folks, queer folks, trans folks,
00:02:50.940and other traditionally marginalized people are out here shaping what it means to be on the Internet and technology.
00:02:55.920even if our stories are not always told.
00:02:58.940I started the podcast, There Are No Girls on the Internet,
00:03:01.340so that our experiences online would never go overlooked
00:03:04.120and our stories would never go untold.
00:03:06.840On There Are No Girls on the Internet,
00:03:08.300we talk about the past, present, and future of our experiences online.
00:03:13.620So listen to There Are No Girls on the Internet
00:03:15.500with new episodes starting on March 1st
00:03:17.820on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
