Hey everyone! It has been a long time since we recorded an episode, but we plan to upload much more frequently this summer! Devastatingly, the landmark case Roe v. Wade was overturned not too long ago. We wanted to dedicate this episode to discussing the very serious implications of the decision and inform you all about resources that you can use. More information can be found on posts on our Instagram page, and we strongly encourage everyone to do their own research. 

NOTE: The case was overturned in 2022, not 2020 (apologies for the confusion in the episode) 

Hi everyone! Because April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we wanted to dedicate this episode to talking about sexual assault. If you or someone you know is a victim of sexual assault, we strongly encourage you to seek help (the title of this episode is the National Sexual Assault Hotline). We hope that you learn something from listening and do your own research on the topic. 

TW: mentions of sexual assault and sexual harassment

Happy International Women's Day! In honor of the celebration, Sally, Maria, and Jess discuss a few women in history that broke social barriers. The women that are discussed in this episode include Ann Preston, Margaret Fuller, and Tcheng Yu-hsiu. On behalf of the RTS Board, we hope that you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for the next one with Neeka, Ava, and Dahlia!🤍

Hey everyone! In this episode, Ava, Jess, and Dahlia dive deeper into sexism in Speech and Debate clubs. There are mentions of sensitive topics such as sexual harassment and body image, so please listen carefully to the content warnings that are provided. This episode starts out with some statistics, then moves onto personal experiences, and finally there are stories told from the Instagram account @speechanddebatestories. Although there are instances of gender discrimination and prejudice within the Speech and Debate world, we still completely encourage more people to join their school's Speech and Debate Club (if you have one) to fight this stigma. Hope everyone enjoys this episode!🤍

P.S. Some parts of the audio will cut out, so we apologize for the inconvenience 

Welcome back to our podcast! Sorry for the hiatus, the last couple weeks were super busy for us. That being said, we plan to follow the regular podcast schedule moving forward--uploading every other week. For this week's episode, Maria, Neeka, and Sally talk about gender stereotypes and how society perpetuates them through gender-related insults ("like a girl"). We hope that you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for our next one where Ava, Dahlia, and Jess will talk about gender inequality in speech and debate clubs!

Hey everyone! Welcome to the RTS Podcast! For our first episode, we just want you listeners to get to know us (the board) a little better. For future episodes, we plan to create a mixture of educational research and personal experience. We hope that you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed creating it, and stay tuned for upcoming episodes. 🤍

P.S. Bear in mind that this is our first episode, so the audio might be a bit off in some parts haha
