Way Back Like Lawn Chairs with Bridget Todd

Welcoming Bridget Todd to The Pod Club! Jo and OG podcaster Bridget go way back, like lawn chairs. In this week’s episode the two of them ask the question we've all been wondering: why every podcaster tries to impersonate Ira Glass when they first get started (themselves included). Bridget has been making groundbreaking podcasts since 2008. She describes her current show, There Are No Women On The Internet, as a “tech show if a tech show were hosted by Lizzo'' where each week she tells the story of technology through the voices of marginalized people. Bridget pushes boundaries and buttons in audio and on the Internet and she's not afraid to use her platform to push for social change in a deeply entertaining way.
