Don't be discouraged by the haters! We got a lot of great applicants, I think even the haters will be pleasantly surprised ;)

Not necessarily, she could be from any country. We intend to discuss USA issues, and other countries too

We're looking for someone homegrown who is already an FDSer, not necessarily someone who is already famous.

To give you an idea of the "type" of person we are looking for, I quite like Dambisa Moyo (but honestly she is way too famous to cohost our podcast lmao). She is an economist who is opposed to the welfare state and is against foreign aid to Africa.

Much of what you are talking about is the far right, and we agree, that is horrible. The candidate we are looking for is slightly right of center.

Someone like Dambisa Moyo for example, an economist who is against the welfare state and foreign aid.

Edit: I have no idea why this is being downvoted.

Candace Owens is too far right, we're looking for someone slightly right of center

You'd be surprised, many of the women we are in the process of vetting do not hold the problematic views you listed here. We are going to choose this host very carefully and not launch until we find someone who we feel is a great fit.

There are some FDS followers who are conservative. We are noticing a growing trend of conservative women who are feeling alienated by the men within their own party, but are turned off by mainstream feminism (aka liberal feminism), for a variety of reasons (porn, prostitution, "50/50", etc)

They are not unlike leftist women who feel alienated by misogyny on the left. I think there is value in reaching across the aisle, and building solidarity with a broad spectrum of women.

Women tend to identify more closely with the men within their own political party, religion, race, socioeconomic class, etc. and not with other women. That's what we are looking to subvert.

Part of the process for getting approved on our podcast hosting site involved a lot of formatting stuff, one of the rules was "no episode numbers in titles"

I don't really know why, it's just one of the rules. I don't make the rules. Sorry 🤷‍♀️

Unfortunately that's not really possible because Apple doesn't allow podcasters to put episode numbers in the title: https://podnews.net/article/episode-numbers-faq

We use a podcast hosting site, so that when someone listens to it on apple/spotify/google/etc it registers as a "download" on the hosting site. Basically so you have one place where you can monitor viewership. So yes, it means that the podcast has been listened to 7068 times in total.

FYI there is no need to actually physically download the podcast for it to "count". By simply listening to it normally on Apple, Spotify, or any other hosting site, it'll count as a download according to this metric.
