Rat Girls
In Rat Girls, a comedy podcast, host Abigail Jensen discusses the good, the bad, and the ugly of all things girlhood. This Podcast is for all the girlies scurrying through life who don’t have it all together but know it’s ok to not be perfect. Because perfect is boring, being feral is way more fun. Each week, Abigail covers a different topic, sometimes joined by guests, and dives into issues facing women every day. Nothing is off-limits. When the impossible expectations of being a girl seem too much, Abigail is here to navigate it with you and encourage you to embrace your inner rat.
