Hello Crampers! I have MISSED you!!
I am back from a 2 month…break, I guess? Existential stewing period? Uncomfortable attempt to rest? There were stretches of MINUTES, even HOURS in there where I was relaxed. It’s a skill I’m working on.
CRAMPED IS COMING BACK!
In Season 1.5, starting in the next two weeks, we’ll have 12 episodes that get into all the corners of period pain that I didn’t get to in the first season. All in a more casual production style that feels like hanging out at a bar with your friend (me) who just so happens to have done hundreds of hours of research. Then in the fall, we’ll have a Season 2 with a focus on a new topic in women’s health that I’m SO excited about!!
Is the grant money we made Season 1 with all gone? OH YEAH.
Is the media landscape getting more friendly to taboo topics in women’s health? NOPE.
Am I about to ask you to subscribe to a Patreon to keep CRAMPED going? YOU GOT IT!!
This is a big leap, but I think we can make a real difference. I was floored by the messages I got from crampers all over the world (literally!!) who found our little indie podcast and got crucial information they’d never gotten anywhere else, or suddenly realized they’re not alone, or learned about a condition that fit their symptoms exactly that their doctors had just never mentioned to them.
A small sampling of what people are saying about CRAMPED:
I have BIG plans for the future of CRAMPED, including patient advocacy, building funds to make treatment more accessible, and even a book idea that I’ll probably be trying out on you soon. But first things first, we need to make this podcast self-sustaining.
So please, click through to Patreon and support the podcast at any level you’re able. Thank you!!
