The Women

Science journalist Wendy Zukerman began reporting on the CoronaVirus in January, before "social distancing" and "flatten the curve" became a part of everyday conversation.

Host and executive producer of the podcast Science VS, Wendy blows up opinions and replaces them with science, with puns and fun along the way! 

Wendy first created the show in 2015 after Gwyneth Paltrow's aspiring health guru website, GOOP, suggested women could steam clean their vaginas. Since then, Science VS has moved from Australia to New York, from Gimlet Media to Spotify, and has published over 100 episodes pitting facts against hot topics and fads, from Climate Change & Fracking, to Diets & Essential Oils.

Rose surprises her pal Wendy with voice memos from her family members with their favorite "Wendy Memory!"

Stacey Abrams speaks with Rose Reid on the importance of family, friendships, and voting rights during COVID19.

After Stacey lost the 2018 Georgia Governor's race to Brian Kemp, she created Fair Fight Action, focused on voter protection. There is a lot of speculation on whether Stacey will be Joe Biden's Vice Presidential running mate on the Democratic ticket in the 2020 elections, but Stacey's priority is to make sure every vote is counted.

Stacey became a tax attorney after attending Spelman College and Yale University, but has had many careers. Rose and Stacey have a candid and intimate conversation about hard lessons learned from the Governor's race, the curious life of introverts during quarantine, and what the future holds for this entrepreneur-turned-politician-moonlighting-romance novelist.

Pregnant women all over the world are facing tough choices as concerns rise around giving birth in a hospital where they are more likely to get exposed or contract the CoronaVirus.

What are the options for changing a birth plan? Can newborns contract COVID-19 from their mothers?

As many hospitals are limiting laboring women to have only one support person in the delivery room, expecting parents are wondering if they should avoid the risk and restrictions at hospitals and give birth at home, or elsewhere?

Rose talks to Kate Dirks, a nurse practitioner and midwife in Atlanta, Georgia who works in one of the busiest birthing centers in the United States about how COVID-19 has changed her practice, and what medical professionals are doing to protect new moms, new babies, and their staff.
