[NPR's Short Wave @NPRShortWave]

We come with tough news. The layoffs at NPR are impacting our show. Moving forward, we'll be in your feed 3 days a week.

Please show our #NPRShortWave team the same love you always have. We'll still be making the same nerdy, newsy science show you know and count on.

[Louder Than A Riot @LouderThanARiot]

Even though NPR has decided to discontinue the Louder Than A Riot pod after this season and lay off our production team, our team members have graciously agreed to finish out this season for now. Cause, like us, they believe these stories are way too important not to be told.

[Rodney Carmichael @rodneyology]

Last season, we freed a man from prison. In this week’s ep, we tell the stories of 3 badass women who found themselves imprisoned by the male gaze — and shook those shackles off.

[Invisibilia @NPRinvisibilia]

It's been over 60 years since the FDA first approved the birth control pill. But did you know that women in Puerto Rico were instrumental in its creation?

The first large-scale human trials of the pill were conducted on over 1,500 Puerto Rican women, and it came at a cost. 🧵
