We are loving this.
“LadyWatch with Ryan and Jason” is a popular weekly podcast. Co-hosted by Ryan O’Connor and Jason Powell, the two pop culture pundits report on current events related to over eight hundred fascinating women in pop culture over the age of Celine Dion. It is the mission of LadyWatch to celebrate the lives, successes and accomplishments of these fascinating women.
