1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to stephone 2 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: never told your production of by Heart Radio. And Happy 3 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: New Year, everybody. Yes, Happy New Year. You know. I 4 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: have been looking over some of our old episodes of 5 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: Women around the World, Activists around the World, fictional women 6 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: around the World. But I was thinking about how long 7 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: has been, and I did not realize because time means nothing. 8 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: But we started this and I was like, wow, I 9 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: need to go back and we'll get all of our 10 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: episodes because it's been a lot and we have gone 11 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: through a lot of people and a lot of conversations, 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: um and it's been exciting. We've even had a few interviews, 13 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: and then there's been some women that we didn't even 14 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: feature on the Activists, but there were interviews as full 15 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: episodes because it was too good to be just like 16 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: a fifteen minute segment, not noting we could probably split 17 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: it up, but you know, and I'm like, you know 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: what we need We need to come back over it. 19 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: I know last year we did a year in review 20 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: and we're going to kind of revisit some of those questions. 21 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: But for this year's I thought we would do a 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: top three plus one exchange. I know you love the 23 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: plus additionals and do you have bonuses? Do you have 24 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: bonuses on this one? I mean I wrote them down, 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: but I won't do any Okay. See see I knew 26 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: she was So what I thought would be fun is 27 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: for you to tell me your top three from favorite 28 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: fictional women around the world. And I will tell you 29 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: my top three activists around the world and then give 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: you my one I guess the one favorite, just to 31 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: not to add more work, and also because we have 32 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: so much content out there, my favorite one of the 33 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: fictional women and your favorite one of the activists around 34 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: the world. I wonder if we're gonna overlap. Mm hmm, Yeah, 35 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: I'm curious. I was thinking when I was scrolling through. 36 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: I was like, I wonder which one Samantha will choose? Yeah, 37 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: I know. Keep you on edge of your seat. UM, 38 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: I will say this for your listeners. We would love 39 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: to hear what your favorites were or types of people 40 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: that you think we would we should talk more about. 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: UM if you have countries that we have not covered, 42 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: because y'all it's it's kind of difficult to try to 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: to try to make this list with enough information and 44 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: enough correct information. UM. And as well as getting all 45 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: of all of the information and all the different people's 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: part of the different crews correct information. That's the other 47 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: part of that, UM and and all of that. So 48 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: if you have any suggestions or we love the suggestions. 49 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: A few of you've already sent in some a few 50 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: of you even wrote some of our episodes. Thank you 51 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: for the Olympics. You know, you know who I'm talking to, UM, 52 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: and so that that's amazing. So if you have any 53 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: for this year placing it to us. UH, typically our 54 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: biggest thing is that internationally or something that they've done 55 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: that is uh intersectional, so they're in the US is 56 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: an intersectional person who does something significant and that they 57 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: are still currently alive. Because we want to be able 58 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: to give flowers to these people today. UM. So if 59 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: you have suggestions sending our way, and if you want 60 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: to send your top three, send it our way because 61 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: we love as well. So we're gonna start off with you. Yes, 62 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: what was your top three fictional women around the world? Okay, 63 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: that's hard. It was difficult, but I tried to I 64 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: try to get a mix of what I covered this year, 65 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: and I tried to be I tried to not just 66 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: choose my favorite character. So keep that in mind. This 67 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: is not necessarily my favorite characters I picked. Actually most 68 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: of them aren't, but one of them that is is 69 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: Tara Bradford. I covered her for my birthday. She is 70 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: from Final Fantasy three Slash six. One of the reasons 71 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: I loved covering her was because she was one of 72 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: the very first characters as a child, who was a woman, 73 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: who was my favorite character, who was the main character 74 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: who people loved. I loved her, and so it was 75 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: just really fun to like go back and revisit that 76 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: I haven't played that game in forever. I think that 77 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: that character still has a really big, like a legacy 78 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: that was left behind, and it was just cool reading 79 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: about it. Because I love video games. I love the 80 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: history of video games and how characters get made, and 81 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: so it was just neat to to dig deeper into 82 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: this character that I've loved since I was like five 83 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: years old. And in fact, my family is nerdy enough 84 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: that at we were visiting over the holidays, we play 85 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: video game music when we decorate the tree, and we 86 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: were playing Terra's theme song, which is a beautiful song, 87 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: and I was like, the whole family is enjoying a 88 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: piece of this character. I love, I like it. Yes, okay, 89 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: so that's fun. The second one is America Chavez. And 90 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: the reason I love this one is because Joey came 91 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: on to you talk with us about why this character 92 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: impacted them so much, And it was just really cool 93 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: because I knew I had known about this character. We 94 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: talked about doctor Strange, Multiverse of Madness. Um. But it's 95 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: pretty rare. I've been very selfish so far. It's pretty rare. 96 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: We cover a character that I don't know that well, 97 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: it does happen, but it's pretty rare. UM. And I 98 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: knew the main storyline of this character. But it was 99 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: just really cool to bring someone else on who had 100 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: grown up with this character, who loved it, who had 101 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: this knowledge of it, and to get to like nerd 102 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: out over that. It was a very fun, rewarding experience 103 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: because a lot of times I feel like and I 104 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: think this works, it's a fun dynamic, but I come 105 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: on and I'm like, haven't you read comic fifteen of 106 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: the Marvel Star Wars run And You're like, no, what 107 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: does that mean? So it's just kind of neat to 108 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: see to be on your side of it for what 109 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: actually really enjoyed it. Yeah, it's great learning things and 110 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: I didn't have to do that. Yeah, and I just 111 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: love hearing that passion people have about fictional characters, So 112 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: that was really cool. My last one is probably surprised 113 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: some people, but it's Setene Creeze. We covered her in 114 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: the beginning of like my whole Star Wars run through 115 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: in April May June, however many months. She's definitely not 116 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: my favorite character, but I really like talking about her 117 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: because I think, like politically and philosophically, she's a fascinating 118 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: character because she was kind of the pacifist ruler of 119 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: the Mandalorians who got assassinated, and it's just a really 120 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: albi one Canobi and her were in love um and she. 121 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: They're like the opposite of what happened with Anakin and 122 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: pad May Wear and Satine died and Opi one was 123 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: able to not become Darth Vader, so I she's It 124 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: was just like one of those things where it was 125 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: very fascinating in terms of the lore and the because 126 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: Stars does a lot with philosophy, so it was interesting 127 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: in the politics of it, and then the fallout of 128 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: that character and how divisive she is because some people 129 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: don't hate her um some people ever. But it was 130 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: fun to like try to explain Mandalorian culture in a 131 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: very short episode. Yes you did, Yes, you know what 132 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: we did? Overlap and because I also said America Chavez 133 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: as well, because I knew nothing of our care her 134 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: except for the movie and the one movie that I 135 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: really didn't love, but this character was great, so, but 136 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: I didn't have the in depth information and Joey coming 137 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: on and doing that episode was phenomenal. I also love 138 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: that Joey is so passionate that they made like, let 139 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: me do this episode. Is it okay if I do this, 140 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: let me just write it, And then they're like, even 141 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: if you can, you can, you can do it. I 142 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: just want you to do it, and we're like, no, Joey, 143 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: come on. And they were so great. They did an 144 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: amazing job, a wonderful way to have them being a 145 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: part of an episode. So I was so phenomenal to 146 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: see that. And then the watching the two of you 147 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: geek out about Marvel was another perspective of this that 148 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: I haven't had. So it's really fun to watch the 149 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: two of you going back and forth and talking about 150 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: this fact and that fact, and I'm like, I don't 151 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: know what's happening, but amazing, great, great, UM, just with 152 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: all the questions that I had that the two of 153 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: you together can tell me all about UM and the 154 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: fact that the y'all love something that you grew up 155 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: with seeing it come to screen and talking about the 156 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: realities of the disappoint as well as the excitement of 157 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: it all. So it's kind of it was really fun 158 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: for that episode having a third person coming in, Hey, yeah, 159 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: so that y'all can banter instead of me just going 160 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: uh huh, okay what But I will say, and I 161 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: don't think these were all in two but things that 162 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: you love watching you explain it is always fun, always fun. 163 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: So when you do anything with the Last of Us, 164 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: anything with Star Wars that you have been dying to do, 165 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: always a fun thing to watch. So I'll put that 166 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: in the top bariances as well. UM. And of course 167 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: with that, I'm going to talk about the activists that 168 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: we've talked about in two UM, and one of those 169 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: kind of cheating but I don't think it's cheating on 170 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: my top three and it was talking about the Olympics 171 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,479 Speaker 1: when we were talking about the women of the specific 172 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: sports or competitions. I love it because we had a 173 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: lot of people writing in telling us what's going on 174 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: in their area. So I love that hearing things that 175 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: if we may have missed, because we missed a lot. 176 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: Obviously we can't talk too much about a full Olympic competition, 177 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: um within a fifteen minutes space, maybe ten minutes, maybe 178 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: twenty UM. But doing all of those, covering the different 179 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: sports which I typically don't watch, but seeing people break records, 180 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: women or those who identify as women break these records 181 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: is phenomenal and I loved every bit of it. People participating, 182 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: there's something that is the commandarie of it all. And 183 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: just being able to celebrate with other countries about what 184 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: is happening, and the people who are so young or 185 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: so like in the problem of their age. You know, 186 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: all of these things. I love it so anything with 187 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: I said that Winter Olympics specifically, but when we talked 188 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: about the Winter Olympics, when we talked about the Paralympics, 189 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: and just celebrating all of those. Of course you watched 190 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: it a lot more than I do. But being able 191 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: to read about it and coming back into it and 192 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: having a history of it because we've talked about women 193 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: in Olympics before and seeing it grow is a beauty, 194 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: a full thing. And then also seeing women challenging the 195 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: systems when they're wrong. So I had to put that 196 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: as one of my faves. I'm sorry. The other one 197 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: I love because it was historical for the United States. UH, 198 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: seeing the confirmation of the Supreme Court Justice Judge Katangi 199 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: Brown Jackson, who became the first black woman to sit 200 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: on the bench. Already, Like, there's so much happening, and 201 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: we know it's an ugly controversy, but it was such 202 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: a light to talk about, especially with some of the 203 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: arguments that she's been able to make. Um, it's been beautiful. 204 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: So I can't wait to see as she is the 205 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: one of the newest judges obviously, UM of our Supreme 206 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: Court of the United States Supreme Court, UH, beking change 207 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: or fighting for change because we know she's not going 208 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: to sit back. Um, none of the justices really sit back. 209 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: We have majority, so that's a problem. But UM, in 210 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: that conversation, I think it was a really important and 211 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: so being able to celebrate that, being able to celebrate 212 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: a big win for black women, it felt nice. So 213 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: I think that's one of my top three moments as well, 214 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: and then the other one. Uh and I think you'll 215 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: know why because I thought it was really really fun 216 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: when we were talking about bees Letty Pesh from the 217 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: Man environmental activists and talking about the source of bees 218 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: and how they are connected to the indigenous community and 219 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: why it's so important that we talked about the bees. 220 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: I know, you love bees, like I remember what I 221 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: was talking like we were. I was like, Hey, we're 222 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: gonna talk about this. You're like, yeah, because it is. 223 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: It's such a stainable part of our environment and why 224 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: they are important, and now it's kind of a little 225 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: more widely known. Don't bother these We need to protect 226 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: these bees, and they've known it for years, So being 227 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: able to talk about her and her work. Of course, 228 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: we love talking about all the native and indigenous activists 229 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: because they are the front and center when it comes 230 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: to climate change, um, environmental protection and all of that UM, 231 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: So we definitely want to talk about that as part 232 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: of the bigger conversation when it comes to climate change 233 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: and the impact it has on our world in general. 234 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: So in the ecological systems, we need to go back 235 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: and talk about the Amazon rainforest as they're being burned 236 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: down again. I guess it's continually happening. But you know, 237 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: talking about her, what she's done and the impact that 238 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: she did, I thought was one of the best fun, 239 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: fun part of the conversations that we've had. And I 240 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: felt like you and I you are really just enjoying it. 241 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: So it made me very happy to Yeah, I do. 242 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: I do love bees like I. That is one of 243 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: the things like if you are at a party and 244 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: you see me and I got a glass of wine 245 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: in hand, and you're like, I just need somebody to 246 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: take over the conversation. I'm tired, Go ask me about 247 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: bees and I will talk, talk and talk. Um, it's 248 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: like one of the it's one of like my I 249 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: would say ten things you could just ask me about. 250 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: Now I'm going go and go and you don't have 251 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: to worry about anything else. Um. Yeah, this was hard, 252 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: hard because you always bring so many people when you 253 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: were joking about like my bonuses. I did write down 254 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: several names, um, because it was hard for me to decide. 255 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: But I will pick one and it's a recent one. 256 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: Hindu Almaru Ibrahim, who was the cryptographer and digenous activists 257 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: all about environmentalism because I do think, as you said, 258 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: it's so important to us that we highlight the work 259 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: of indigenous activists that has continued been there forever, but 260 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: been so long ignored, and so I always love it 261 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: when we get to talk about that, and then I 262 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: things like climate change in our environment and the health 263 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: of our our planet and water and all of those 264 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: intersections of m racism and sexism and all of that 265 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: stuff that makes makes everything worse. That is one of 266 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: my biggest issues. That's one of the things I care 267 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: about the most is our environments. And so every time 268 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: we do one about people protecting it but also protecting 269 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: it in that kind of intersectional justice way that we 270 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: talked about with one of our book clubs, because you 271 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: can't ignore like the reality of who is hurting more 272 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: and and all of the things behind that um And 273 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: so I like when we get to focus on uh 274 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: an indigenous activist, especially or any marginalized activist who is 275 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: really doing the intersectional work of environmentalism. That's that's so 276 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: important to me. That is like one of the most 277 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: important things I think, and so I'm every time we 278 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: get to do that, whether it's bees. I also loved 279 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: our recent Emily Pinnon episode where all these things where 280 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: we can't I'm all for, like, yes, recycle more, but 281 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: it's just so much bigger than that, right. So I 282 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: like seeing these activists that you bring where they know 283 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: it's so much bigger than that, right. And yeah, I 284 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: love doing the ones the way we talked about the 285 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: record breaking women UM, which you kind of overlaped with 286 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: like mountaineers, and that that was a fun subject this year. Um, 287 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: there's so many things at women and marginalized community have 288 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: done that we do want to continue celebrating. And yes, 289 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: we will be doing that until the end of time 290 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: maybe I hope. So anyway, until the end of this series, 291 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, but doing we're gonna keep going with 292 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: all of that, and yes, we're gonna add hopefully more 293 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: organizations because we have talked about different organizations, especially as 294 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: we talk about reproductive rights around the world and different 295 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: nonprofits that have come together to work for the rights 296 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: of people. We've talked about iran um and the Iranian people, 297 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: and hopefully we can keep have a conversation about that 298 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: because we don't want to stop highlighting things for those 299 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: who are oppressed. We want to talk about the the 300 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: continued people are protesting in China, UM in Hong Kong. 301 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: We know there's a lot of things happening and we 302 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: need to have that conversation as well. UM. We don't 303 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: want to ignore all of the unfortunate darkness because we 304 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: don't because we're scared to talk about it. Because there 305 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: are people in those movements who are making an amazing change, 306 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: and that we need to speak up about UM continuously. 307 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: And that's what's something that we think is important. That 308 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: is something that we hope that we can use our 309 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: platform for UM and continue to speak up for those 310 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: who can't for themselves and for those who have just 311 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: damn smart getting done right. Do you want to make 312 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: sure we celebrate that as well? Because I'm always in 313 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: awe of the amazing work that people do because they 314 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: are committed for something bigger than themselves and that's amazing. 315 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: As for the future, Annie, I asked you this last year, 316 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: I want to ask you this this year.

I like 339 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: her as a character, but a lot of people hate her, 340 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: hate her, so I I'm excited to talk about her. 341 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: The SOCA shows coming out. We'll see what goes down 342 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: with that. Um.
