Wit Twin Cities's Podcast

This is an Anna and Jessica-only episode with two articles that talk about the origins of the “born for it” mythos of men and computing as our starting point (“Women built the tech industry. Then they were pushed out.” by Emma Goldberg, and “Born for it” by Birgitta Bockeler). We take aim at stock photography that seems to never give women leaders sensible shoes, belief in aptitude vs. learned skills, and reliance on biased data sets. We question how to push back against stereotypes, how to talk about tech as more than “just coding,” and what we are doing to change the narrative.
