Olivia Wilde is hosting a feminist and politically minded podcast, and we’re adding it to the rotation

Actress Olivia Wilde is getting into the podcast game, and from what we’ve heard about it so far, it might need to join your rotation. The Harper’s Bazaar-produced podcast is called “Dare I Say,” and it will feature Wilde interviewing a wide range of feminist and politically active women.
Some of her upcoming guests include Leana Wen (the new president of Planned Parenthood), Patrisse Cullors (cofounder of Black Lives Matter), Rosario Dawson, Laverne Cox, Sarah Weddington (one of the two lawyers who represented Jane Roe in Roe v. Wade), model Precious Lee, and Jane Fonda.
Apparently the idea came about when Harper‘s interviewed most of the women for a “Women Who Dare” issue, but found that a live conversation—rather than print—would be a better medium to tell their stories.
“It was impossible to translate their fire, passion and drive onto the printed page; so the medium of a podcast felt like an obvious and natural fit for the future of this franchise, Olivia Fleming, senior digital features editor for Harper's Bazaar told Women's Wear Daily. “Open conversations between women unafraid to challenge the status quo are conversations that our readers would otherwise not be privy to. Listening to their sometimes heated, sometimes vulnerable, and always animated dialogues on pressing issues that our readers care deeply about is incredibly moving and motivating.
For her part, Wilde called her new venture “the podcast we need right now.”
“The revolution can’t happen now without understanding of the past," Wilde added. "I’ve personally learned the most from listening to smart women speak to one another. We reach another level of wisdom when we compare our experience with others.
If the podcast is a success, each season will feature a new host. “Dare I Say” launches Friday, March 8th, and you can listen to the trailer at HarpersBazaar.com.
