Hello, it's Andrea. I'm on vacation and I hope you are too. But I'm not gonna leave you lonely in the feed. So today we are re-airing the first episode of our four-part series on the Jessica Jones case out of Texas. This is a dramatic case that stuck with me for many reasons. And I think it's a good one to revisit in this moment as we're talking about the persistent media narrative about doctors and the courts rushing to judgment in abuse cases. Because, well, you'll see if you listen. As I mentioned, this is the first in a four-part series on this case. So you can find the other three episodes in our show notes. And that includes my conversation with the father of the victim, Derek, who is lovely and has been active in educating folks about this abuse.
As always, if you want more, you can join us by subscribing on Apple and Patreon, where you get two bonus episodes a month. This month you can listen in to hear Dr. Bex and I reflecting on the Kowalski appeal and a bunch of other 2025 craziness. Happy holidays to you all. Here's my conversation with Detective Mike Weber. I love audiobooks for the same reason I love podcasts. They can go everywhere with me. The car, the garden, on a walk. And with the mother next door, I got to bring all my worlds together as I narrate one of my own books for the very first time. You can find the mother next door wherever you get audiobooks. Here's a snippet. When the nurse who was administering the test briefly left the room, Hope turned to Amy and asked if she could take her daughter to the bathroom so that Sophia could have a meltdown.
It was bizarre. Amy explained to Hope that she could not allow her to be alone with Sophia. A short time later, the results of the sweat test came back. Negative. Sophia didn't have cystic fibrosis. For almost any parent in the world, the news that their child didn't have a terminal illness would have brought tears of relief. But upon hearing the test results, Hope broke down in tears for a very different reason. She'd been caught. Are you thinking about starting a podcast? I hope that you are, and here's why. Number one, most of you are women, and we really need more women in podcasting. This gender disparity is something our industry is grappling with right now. Uh I know, shocking that men are a little more assured that their voices matter.
Can't imagine why that is. Number two, I hear from a lot of you. So I know how smart, thoughtful, and interesting you all are. I am truly honored to have the audience I have. Your takes are consistently good, so go get them on the mic. Number three, podcasting is so much fun. My particular niche is challenging in many ways, but I really love this job. And while the podcasting industry is crazy, it is generally crazy in a pretty fun way. And there are so many people out there who are making exciting, wonderful, unique, weird stuff that finds a passionate audience in podcasting in a way that just wouldn't be possible in other mediums. Now I know it can be pretty daunting to dive in, but I am here to help with that.
I have a new podcasting app called PodcasterPro with Studio.com that can help you with everything. I built this extremely interactive app with the studio team, and it doesn't just tell you what to do, it also gives you feedback on everything from your show concept to your episode outlines, your budget, your episodes, all of it. It's going to help you not only launch your show but grow your audience and work towards monetizing. This is designed to help you with the creative and the business aspects of podcasting. Really, it's everything I wish I had when I was starting out. And I designed this coach to be a little Andrea in your pocket, helping you every step of the way. So if starting a podcast or growing and monetizing your existing podcast is on your list for 2026, there is no better time to sign up.
because Studio is running a site-wide holiday promo. Right now through January 2nd you will get 20% off your subscription. Amazing. A subscription would also make a great gift.
