Full Episode
When you drop a stone into water, it makes a tiny splash. But then the ripple begins. Waves radiate outwards, reaching places the stone never intended to touch. A spark ignites a wildfire. A snowflake triggers an avalanche. And one bold statement becomes a movement. That's the power of the ripple effect.
In 2024, a TikTok user made her waves when she posted a video stating, I'm not a feminist. I can actually cook. And women everywhere heard it and responded. Social media was flooded with videos of women showcasing their talents that extended far beyond the kitchen. Building, designing, leading, performing, teaching, and inventing. And from that moment, Watch Her Cook was born.
Watch Her Cook, derived from the phrase Let Them Cook, is a podcast that celebrates women who've defied the odds, shattered expectations, disrupted the status quo, and changed the world. These women didn't just break barriers, they rewrote the script. And in an unexpected plot twist, became the masterminds, not just the victims, in tales of crime and intrigue.
Empowered women empower the world, and there is no better time than now to share the stories of the women of our past to inspire the women of our present. We'll be releasing new episodes every Wednesday. Welcome to Watch Her Cook.
Hello, everyone. I'm Cassie. And I'm Danielle. You may know us from National Park After Dark, a podcast that explores the true crime tales of the outdoors, which, don't worry, is not going anywhere.
But we want to officially welcome you to Watch Her Cook, a podcast dedicated to sharing the incredible lives of women who have taken their power back throughout history.
Yes, and this podcast has been a long time coming because if you are coming over here from National Park After Dark, you know that we tell a lot of stories about different people throughout history, but we surround it with national parks and national forests and all that good stuff.
And during our research, we kept coming across stories specifically of women that we were so interested in telling but never quite fit the narrative of these outdoor wild spaces and that we know and love. But these stories just felt so important that we were almost pulling our hair out of, how do we tell this on National Park After Dark?
And we kind of came to this conclusion that we can't tell it on National Park After Dark. It doesn't fit. And that this actually deserves its own podcast. And thus, Watch Her Cook has been Born, and you are here for the very first episode.
