Over the next two episodes, we talk to Janet Anderson and Stephanie van den Berg, who are the hosts of the Asymmetrical Haircuts podcast, which speaks to mainly female experts and commentators about topics including justice for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and much, much more.  In this first episode, we focus on some of the behind-the-scenes of creating and running their podcast and what brought them to create it in the first place. In the next episode, we'll discuss the podcast further as well as Janet and Stephanie's thoughts about international law and how it's developed over their time in the field.
