The Revisionist’s Almanac

Women's History Month - A Collaboration Special

This show is all about being inclusive and safe for all voices in the movie space to have the same level of value and importance. March is Women's History Month and I am so proud to have been a small part of this collaboration episode that was put together by 25+ extraordinary women podcasters and content creators. 
 
Over the course of this episode, you'll hear each contributor talk about the female-centric films that mean something to them, as well as celebrating the incredible women in film, television, writing, podcasting, and so much more. Enjoy!
