In this episode of In Their Shoes, Dr. Jenn talks with, hands down, one of the funniest comedians you'll ever hear, Whitney Cummings, about her campaign with Annovera birth control, called, "Just Say Vagina."   That's right, they made a campaign - about vaginas - it's like they were seeing directly into our souls and channeling all this vagtastic energy we've been cultivating over here on the pod.    If you've never heard of her, shame on you. Go listen to her four stand-up specials immediately. Whitney is a stand-up comedian, actress, filmmaker, and podcaster. She's participated in several Comedy Central Roasts, created the CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls, and like a lot of people this hilarious, is super smart!

It's a long awaited episode: COVID vaccines in pregnancy & lactation, and why Dr. Jenn & Dr. Erica 100% support you getting that vax! We'll dive deep into everything we know and don't know so far, and even bring in some patriarchy-infused history (like we do) about why pregnant and lactating people were actively excluded from the trials. Here. We. Go.

Repro Rights & The Election

In this episode, Dr. Jenn & Executive Producer, Beth Bonilla, talk with NARAL Pro-Choice America President, Ilyse Hogue, about anti-choice politicians’ ongoing efforts to exploit the COVID-19 pandemic in order to restrict reproductive healthcare and ban abortion. Ilyse’s perspective on this topic is especially salient right now - she also has a new book coming out in partnership with NARAL Opposition Research Director Ellie Langford. The forthcoming book, The Lie that Binds, connects the dots between a decades-long effort to mobilize the Radical Right around the issue of abortion and today’s all-out war on reproductive freedom that leaves the future of Roe hanging in the balance. Her podcast by the same name, was also just released last week and is a MUST listen!
