[1 Listener Feedback] Steph, listening to PorcTherapy… and just to correct something…

Before you… as female hosts there was Julia, Melissa, Jennifer, “Pixie” (my feminist ex-gf), Jackie (Ian’s Ex-GF who still occasionally rarely calls), and also occasionally Amber… and I think there may have been a couple of other female hosts.

In fact, “She Talk Live”, is not the first time FTL was hosted by all women, and the initial group that did so also renamed the show based on gender, calling it “Girl Talk Live”

Fun historical facts from FTL pre-syndication days. Oh boy did WTMY suck.

Aside from your thoughts on religion, thought I post anyway. I listen to several Pagan podcasts and in this community many of the podkin promote each others shows with various bumpers. It’s a great way to find out about other shows. Usually the podcaster will record a short promo and send it out to others to include in their shows.

Porc Therapy 110: Giggling

January 11, 2011

Been loving the podcast. Don’t stop giggling Stephanie. It is my favorite part of the show. You don’t giggle as much as you do on SheTalkLive though. Why do women giggle more when they are together?

Hey, here’s a question. I was listening to the Complete Liberty podcast* about gender roles. How does the learned attribute of acquiescing in women relate to their propensity to giggle?

* Actually, Stephanie was discussing this with Wes and Brett on School Sucks Podcast (http://www.schoolsucksproject.com/podcasts/77).

Hi Stephanie & Mike!

Something that’s been bugging me lately came up in a conversation earlier tonight, and I thought it might make for good PT fodder… I have a hard time meeting & maintaining relationships with women. (I’m a straight lady myself.) Well, initially meeting them is not the issue. I’m friendly and easy to talk to, but I never seem to be able to get past the acquaintance stage with new females in my life. I have several good childhood female friends, but honestly, I haven’t made a “best girl friend” in many years. I know I’m not completely socially awkward, because I have lots of male friends with whom I get along really well. Part of it, I think, is that I have NO clue what other women are thinking much of the time! I think this intimidates me. (Is this how men feel?!)

To give an example of this whole issue… I have a part time job where over 90% of the staff is female. I’ve been here for about 4 or 5 months and while I’m friendLY with my coworkers, I wouldn’t say I’m friends with any of the women here (or the men, but they’re the bosses, and a good deal older.) I try to talk to everyone and be open, yet I can’t make a connection. I crack jokes and no one laughs. **sad violin**

But I’m a happy gal, in general. I’m not even really looking to make a change. I’m curious to hear what you (and maybe a peanut or two) have to say about this topic, as I know I’m not the only one.

Thanks, guys! I love the show. It always leaves me smiling!

PS – let me know if I need to clarify anything; it’s 3:30 AM aka way past my bedtime!

1) Clarification of the “state” cuss word

2) [Listener feedback] Dear MICHAEL and Stephanie :)

Thank you. Although I felt bad about my sleepy word salad about Grafton Gulch, I enjoyed the rest of the episode. :) :) :)

I didn’t expect you two to be able to do therapy on me by remote control from one e-mail. However good ideas are where you find ‘em.

I am digging into Branden’s online program thanks to your recommendation.

3) Grafton Gulch Update

4) [Question] Is it true that when most men hear someone talk about a problem they start to try to fix it, but when women hear someone talk about a problem they prefer to empathize and sympathize and listen and be compassionate?

Antigone joins Stephanie and Mike as they make boobs of themselves talking about breasts. We discuss a recent act of civil disobedience in Keene, NH and some public reaction to public toplessness (by men and women).
