Hatshepsut: Making the Episode
This episode was probably decades in the making if I am being honest. As a young kid, I was obsessed with Ancient Egypt. My dad worked as the executive chef at the St. Louis Art Museum for a time, and every time he brought me into work, I would dash off to the Egyptian wing,

Jill Wine-Banks: Making the Episode
For this week’s episode, I had to decide how I wanted to present all the information listeners would need to understand who Jill Wine-Banks was.

About Me
Hi, I’m Ana, host of the Rebel Women Podcast
This is a project five years in the making that I cannot wait to produce. I was fortunate enough when I was in elementary school to have a teacher that inspired me to not be dissuaded from succeeding in male-dominated STEM fields. The young woman whose first year teaching a bunch of fourth graders paved the way for me, (and hopefully a few of the other young women in my class) to believe that I could do anything. Through uncovering as many extraordinary women as possible, I hope to pass that inspiration forward. Both a labor of love, and a creative project, Rebel Women will hopefully become something that my listeners love as much as I do.

Brainstorming The First Trailer
I have been agonizing over how I want this first big trailer to sound. It’s the thing that is going to bring people in to listening to my podcast for the first time, so it feels like a big deal. Ultimately I plan on releasing a few trailers as get closer to the first episode,
