Our take on The Defenders podcast

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, the nation plunged into unsettling headlines and distressing news. Amidst this turmoil, Samantha Bee, renowned for her wit on The Daily Show and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and Gloria Riviera, a seasoned ABC News correspondent, co-host The Defenders, a series focused on the battle for freedom in post-Roe America. The podcast sheds light on the movement of activists, healthcare workers, and everyday individuals championing reproductive rights. It's more than just storytelling; it's an empowering call to action, reassuring listeners that hope and resistance can thrive even in challenging times. The Defenders is a society & culture podcast by Lemonada Media.
