THE PODCAST

You Are Among Friends is a project that encourages and empowers girls of all ages. It began as a paper zine, then took the form of a free audio podcast, and (in extended form) is now in the shiny, tangible form of a beautiful little book.

Right-click the photo above to download the podcast, which is still free for listening and distribution.
