This episode gets real up close and personal. Rosie shares her prologue with us about PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome), which she performed at The Pussy Prologues spoken word and poetry event that was hosted at The Center in San Francisco in March 2020. That night, a group of incredible womxn performed their own versions of The Vagina Monologues that they had written, giving the groundbreaking cultural performance a modern update to include topics such as bisexuality, masturbation, PCOS and sexism in the workplace. It was one of my favorite nights of the year. Please enjoy!

Tash sits down with Rachel Hobart and Fran Wang, a visual designer and mechanical engineer duo who are redesigning one of the most outdated technologies used on vaginas everywhere: the speculum.
