Fierce

175

The stories we tell about the past matter. But what happens when an entire category of changemakers is overlooked? Fierce, a new podcast from iHeartRadio and Tribeca Studios, will shed much-needed light on the fierce women that history has undervalued. In each episode, award-winning journalist and best-selling author Jo Piazza will tell the story of one historical figure's life while connecting her legacy to a modern woman standing on her formidable shoulders today.

    This Podcast Makes Me Proud to be a Woman
    So good I can’t describe—every man and woman should listen to this and hear women roar.

    Fierce is fierce!
    Most were stories I never knew. I learned so much and enjoyed the juxtaposition of older historical figures vs more current. Thanks for putting this together. It actually got me listening to podcasts again.

    Fantastic podcast! Well researched and produced.
  • Tonazzi
    Informative and uplifting
    Fierce gives a very original take on women trailblazers from the past and from today going away from the trend to highlight celebrities in order to enlighten us on who are the women who were and are revolutionary. Thank you!

    Just woah.
    This podcast has not only renewed my sense of feminism but also given me the feel of empowerment. Thank you so much for blessing my podcast lists with this incredible view into the women who made AMERICA!

    Good podcast!
    I like learning about the complexities of these woman and their stories. I also like that it focuses on woman of all colors, in the past and in the modern woman it highlights.

    Informative!
    I’ve been trying to dive into the history of women more. So much is lost and not spoken of. This podcast gives a voice to this almost lost and mostly forgotten history. The way the stories are told keep you interested and give life to these women and their tales.

    Love this podcast
    I’m loving this podcast! The timing of the release is perfect, I’ve been looking for a new show!

    Just great
    I heard about this podcast via another podcast (What was her name again?), and thought I’d check it out. I’m glad I did. It’s great! I love the history and then subsequent interview and discussions with a contemporary of the remarkable woman featured. I’m inspired, entertained and educated with each episode. Keep it up!

    Adding more women to history
    I love that this podcast is rewriting history, adding these incredible womens' perspectives and contributions. I've tried listening to other podcasts that highlight forgotten women in history and they're not nearly as interesting as this one, with an engaging story format and connection to present-day women. As a software engineer, I especially loved learning about Grace Hopper. I hope this podcast continues for a long time, and please keep including marginalized women!

    Conflicted
    Well written, amazing content, inspiring stories of pioneering women I’ve never heard of... But I am finding the voice talent less than inspiring. Hoping that gets better bc I’m loving the stories.
  • SophieVaughn
    Brilliant
    These women are so inspiring and I just adore Jo Piazza.

    What an incredible story
    I am very impressed so far with this podcast. Cheng I Sao was straight up insane. Brilliant. Powerful. Ruthless. Kind. I loved that episode. I can’t wait to see what is in store :)

    “You can’t be what you can’t see.”
    While these stories are stories that I listen to late at night like a good book I can’t put down, they are also stories I want every young girl to listen to, especially my own daughters. Marian Wright Edelman famously said, “You can’t be what you can’t see.” Jo Piazza and her podcast, Fierce, has painted pictures of strong, impressive women for our young girls to see and hopefully emulate one day. Thank you, Jo!

    Fierce!
    This podcast is exceptional! I really love this host’s other work, too, and this one does not disappoint. Highly recommend, especially now when we are home and looking for ways to connect with the world.

    Great Sneak Peak
    Caught the sneak peak of this at Tribeca and it blew me away. Fabulous stories about such cool women.
  • HoneyFig808
    Can't wait to hear more
    Listened to the trailer and hadn't heard of ANY of the women mentioned! Really looking forward to this one!
  • Scarlotti the Blue
    Very excited about this one!
    I've been a Jo Piazza fan since i started listening to committed last year. Glad to see this one coming together to celebrate these largely forgotten stories that NEED to be told! Go Fierce!
  • JCP8598
    So excited!
    Based off the live preview of this show at the TriBeca Film Festival I couldn’t be more excited. These are exactly the kinds of story telling shows we need to see more of. I can’t wait for Clementine Paddleford’s episode.
