Listen "Let the Women Do the Work: A Conversation with Podcast Legend Gillian Pensavalle"
Episode Synopsis
This week, podcast royalty herself, Gillian Pensavalle, joins me for one of the most expansive, hilarious, and honest conversations we’ve ever had on Choose the Bear. We talk about her decade-long run with The Hamilcast, building a true-crime empire with @TrueCrimeObsessedPodcast , why women do all the emotional (and investigative) labor in true crime, and how podcasting becomes a business—not just a hobby.We also go deep into being joyfully child-free, shedding the guilt women are taught to carry, navigating misogyny in public spaces, and what we both think true crime can teach women about safety, boundaries, autonomy, and choosing yourself.If you’ve ever loved a podcast, questioned a documentary, considered a background check on a first date (please do), or wondered how women keep holding the world together—this episode is for you.Want to share your story?
