00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Holly Frey, host of Stuff You Missed in History Class, and as a woman podcaster,
00:00:08.860 I know how important it is to amplify women's voices in this space.
00:00:13.360 That is why I am so excited to be talking with two women who are on their way to being
00:00:18.880 some of tomorrow's leading voices in podcasting.
00:00:21.780 Their podcast is one of the 10 winners of Seneca Women to Hear, Search for the Next Great
00:00:27.020 female podcasters, created in partnership with P&G and The Card by Seneca Women, powered by
00:00:33.120 MasterCard and Deserve. After six weeks of training at the Seneca Women Podcast Academy,
00:00:38.540 they will be launching their own show on the Seneca Women Podcast Network with iHeart.
00:00:44.620 I am lucky enough to be sitting here today with Chris McDaniel and Andy Gordon,
00:00:49.460 who are among the winners of Seneca Women to Hear, which is pretty exciting because we have a BFF
00:00:55.060 F team, and I absolutely love that. Their podcast has a provocative title, My Vagina Said What? 0.97
00:01:02.180 So tell us about yourselves and how you know each other. 0.97
00:01:05.960 Hi, I'm Chris McDaniel. I've had a vagina for 40 some odd years. Andy and I have been friends for 0.99
00:01:13.500 over 20 years. We actually met working in radio and we're super excited.
00:01:20.220 I'm Andy Gordon. 0.99
00:01:21.880 I have owned a vagina for 42 years. 0.98
00:01:26.260 And I also have four kids and I work as a college professor. 0.98
00:01:31.780 So tell me what your show is about. 1.00
00:01:34.940 Our show is about the good, the bad, the ugly, and the things that women have happen that 1.00
00:01:39.900 they don't talk about. 1.00
00:01:41.100 We talk about it all the time. 1.00
00:01:42.700 And we think that other women talk about it or they want to hear about it, but don't want
00:01:46.680 to talk about it.
00:01:47.420 We want to be that conversation for them.
00:01:50.200 We hope that having more open and honest dialogues about our bodies will bring more attention and awareness to women's health.
00:01:56.800 We want to use tough-to-talk-about and funny stories to address the things women think about but may be uncomfortable talking about.
00:02:04.440 We want to be the voice for what's happening in every woman.
00:02:07.980 I love it.
00:02:08.700 At what point did the two of you, in sharing stuff like this as friends, go, you know what, what we should be doing is making a podcast out of this?
00:02:18.360 Andy had said a few times, we should do a podcast, and she would name a bunch of different subjects.
00:02:25.120 It wasn't until the contest came out that we actually settled on the subject because we could be on the phone for hours just chit-chatting very funny conversations about our vaginas, our bodies, our lives. 1.00
00:02:40.900 And once the contest came out, we sat down and decided, let's talk about our vaginas. 0.80
00:02:47.860 Yeah, we are both avid podcast listeners. 0.94
00:02:51.780 So that's been something that we also have talked about.
00:02:56.100 And when the contest came up and Chris found that, we submitted our very first recording to the Seneca women to hear.
00:03:04.940 So we weren't expecting such a great adventure to come at this stage in our lives.
00:03:12.600 And we are so thrilled.
00:03:14.420 I'm glad you mentioned you're thrilled because I want you to expound on that a little bit.
00:03:18.040 How does it feel to be selected as a Seneca Women to Hear participant to be part of a movement, really, that's like amplifying women's voices and conversations people should be having and aren't?
00:03:31.980 Absolutely. I'm honored. I feel honored. It just blew our minds away. We could not believe it.
00:03:39.920 And we want to make women proud.
00:03:41.960 We want to represent them.
00:03:43.440 And we want to talk about stuff that people might feel uncomfortable talking about.
00:03:48.880 And we want to have fun with it.
00:03:50.300 Thank you so much, Chris and Andy, for spending this time with me today.
00:03:54.740 Thank you.
00:03:57.420 Inspiring words from two of the winners of Seneca Women to Hear. 0.97
