What’sHerName Podcast puts the women back in World History. Produced by academic sisters Dr. Katie Nelson and Olivia Meikle, What’sHerName tells the stories of fascinating women you’ve never heard of (but should have). We take interviews with expert guests and weave a vivid story, to bring to life the “lost” women of history.
Fascinating and funny, thought-provoking and insightful. Academically rigorous without being snobby, pedantic or boring.
Our intern Catie Boucher creates transcripts of episodes for use in schools.
