Finally this is podcasted, this special chat with the TRANSMEDIA and POP-Culture professional about all things Nerdie and about women and girls in the Genre Worlds.

So how do females feel connected to and within geek culture? What experiences have we had as geek women ? And what can we do about transforming ourselves to be Equal? Misogyny? Sexism? Feminism? Sci-Fi ?….and WHO or WHAT inspires Dr Beddows?
There is ONLY one way to FIND OUT all this and more….and that is to LISTEN to this PODCAST !
“…you want to feel connected…you want to feel relevant to the things around you..that you are a participant in the goings ons, in the activities around you, and that is precisely what you are..:
