In Episode 11, Jenn and Jeannette - given the opportunity to freelance because of a scheduling glitch - dive into Jeannette's research, gender and security, leadership, and the book Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez. Come join us as we talk Thomas Jefferson, Navy gear, and what happens when you bet against Jenn on the rifle range (hint: you lose).

For episode 10, Jenn and Jeannette talked with Kristin Reynolds Goodrich, class of 1989. Come listen to Kristin's stories of plebe summer, plebe year, and her journey from Annapolis to where she is today. And stay tuned for our next episode - we're branching out!

This week, Jenn and Jeannette talk all things USNA, women, sisterhood, and so much more with Barbette Lowndes, class of 1980 and fearless leader of the USNA Women's SIG.

Welcome to our first interview with one of the women of the class of 1980 - the first class from USNA to graduate women! Stefanie is a force of nature, and her stories are riveting. Please tune in - and send us your feedback!

...of needing to go to the bathroom. We're trying something new - write-in episode #1 asked listeners to share stories about how they adapted and overcame the equipment and process failures that result when the "norm" or "average" user is expected to be a man. While the topic is funny, the outcomes aren't always. Expect write-in episodes to range from the hilarious to the painful - and to cover everything in between. Stay tuned and provide feedback! And next time - listen up for our first interview with the women of the 1980s.

Jenn and Jeannette interview their fellow Marine Corps helo pilot and USNA classmate Carrie Howe, the final member of the Sisterhood of Mother B! Join us as we talk to Carrie - and stay tuned for our first write-in episode in two weeks!

In episode 5 of Waypoints, the podcast of the Sisterhood of Mother B, Jenn and Jeannette interview Beth Ann, the 6th founding member of the Sisterhood. Episode 6, to be released soon, will feature the final Sisterhood member - Carrie Howe - before we move into the '80s ladies and some reader response episodes.

Episode 4 features an interview with Kate, our resident Sisterhood twitter expert and all-around rock star. And check out the picture from '98's Plebe Summer book...

In Episode 3, we talk with Michele, fearless director of operations for the Sisterhood, to learn about her work and experiences. Have patience with us as we learn how to "do" podcasts! Flying helicopters was easier and still took us longer to learn...
