Details

Welcome to Another Bloody Podcast, hosted by Heather O’Neill and Lisa Pierce Flores. We’re longtime friends who found ourselves constantly talking about women’s healthcare, thanks to the twists and turns of our own medical adventures. Here, we invite you to eavesdrop on conversations about everything from brain fog to vagina drama—and every taboo subject in between—examined from a different angle: one that draws on our decades of experience as journalists and our personal health journeys. Think of us as the friends who say out loud all the things your doctor should have mentioned—but somehow didn’t. Join us for a public conversation about our private parts.

The Truth Will Piss You Off: Gloria Steinem's Healthcare Legacy

Feminist icon Gloria Steinem, who died last month at 92, spent decades speaking and writing about previously taboo healthcare topics, including abortion, sexual assault, and what we know call medical gaslighting.
