One host. One microphone. One camera.

Amie is thrilled to introduce a new format for the podcast and YouTube! In this yet untitled series, listen as Amie monologues about some of the pieces of content that she's watched this week, and how they've changed (or solidified) how she thinks about single women in the pop culture narrative.

In this episode, Amie tackles Instagram Face. Social media has warped our perceptions of what a "normal", average, run-of-the-mill face looks like. How does that affect real women in the real world who are trying to live up to an impossible beauty standard?

She also looks at an old Newsweek article that may be the actual reason started a podcast about single women in the first place. In 1986 Newsweek casually dropped the statistic that a woman over 40 is more likely to be killed in a terrorist attack than to get married. Even though the stat was a lie, it colored the way that many Americans view the worth of women as they age.
