A podcast hosted by three pairs of sisters who create a funny, accessible and deeply personal conversation about shit women deal with on the daily. We are the Left Ovaries and we want to be your BFF (Best Feminist Friend)!

 Our mission is to shed light on women’s experiences, and to bring power to our own unique female perspective. We believe that women’s voices aren’t given recognition and taken seriously in the mainstream media, and we want to create a platform to speak our truth, and to inspire others to speak theirs. Topics of interest include friendship as activism, the silencing of women's voices, and general ways to be gender outlaws. Follow us on twitter and instagram @theleftovaries if you like what you hear!

Thanks to Michael Rosen and Yianni Anastos-Prastacos for helping record, edit and produce, to Mika Hyden, who will not be featured in the podcasts but is still very much a sister and Left O, and to a true friend, Ciara White, for promoting and supporting our mission. Lastly, thanks to all of our early listeners and supporters! Much love.

Lena Dunham hosts this podcast miniseries about friendship, love, work, bodies and more.

Sisters Leah and Chloe Smith founded Rising Appalachia on their back porch in Georgia, playing simple fiddle and banjo melodies and leaning into their families rich musical traditions. It has since become a globally recognized Americana and world folk ensemble, celebrating a unique blend of Southern-rooted music, storytelling, and community. The band features David Brown (bass, guitar), Duncan Wickel (fiddle, cello), and Biko Casini (percussion), and infuses music with a unique tapestry of Appalachian, Irish and traditional influence but stays connected to simple songwriting. Rising Appalachia has captivated audiences for nearly 2 decades, from busking in New Orleans to touring Europe, and has been featured at prestigious venues like Red Rocks, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Woodford Folk Fest. Their performances at NPR's Tiny Desk and Preservation Jazz Hall have solidified their status in the folk music scene. Breaking industry norms, the band's approach to music is as much an artistic statement as it is a movement, culminating in their newest album, 'Folk and Anchor' a carefully curated collection of cover songs. This project includes remakes from Bob Dylan to James Blake, Erykah Badu to Beyonce and showcases their eclectic style, inviting listeners into a rich musical journey.
