Pod Squad 

New Members Welcome!

Join us for lively conversation and connection with other women from September through May. We meet on Zoom at 1:00 PM on the third Monday of each month.


Each month, a volunteer selects a podcast and guides the discussion. Check out the list of past podcasts here. While listening ahead is encouraged, everyone is welcome - even if you haven't heard the podcast. Our meetings also include a brief check-in, giving us time to connect and support one another.


Open to all Women's Connection members. Nonmembers are welcome to attend a couple of meetings before joining. Podcast selections and Zoom links are emailed in advance.


If you are interested in participating or want to be on our contact list, 1) add yourself to the Pod Squad group or 2) Contact Jane Harens or Linda Grant using the Member Directory (choose Minneapolis/St Paul Chapter). If not a Member, please contact us with any questions you may have.


Event Information: April
On Monday, April 20th at 1:00 pm, Judy Punyko will lead our discussion based on “Running While Fat”, the 9/11/24 episode of the Weight For It podcast; 35 minutes.


Overview: In a conversation with fat marathon runner Martinus Evans, host Ronald Young Jr discusses how running can be exclusionary for fat folks and ways that Martinus overcame that.
