Abstract

This paper explores the episodes of Sozinha de Si Podcast, idealized and produced by Mayra Abbondanza, illuminated by the discussions on listening and gender issues. Between April and October 2024, 30 women were heard, so their history would be told in those episodes. Most of these women had never talked about how they had been torn apart in their hearts, forced to live that pain alone. They were listening to through the cellphone and the ghostwriting practice, and that has called attention to the lowliness which those women had to face, overloading their burden to hold on to themselves and other under their care. The existence of the podcast, as a communicational product, has allowed the existence of a network that, throughout those stories, has strength a community of those who have experienced the worst of our patriarchy system. This paper also brings up some numbers concerning the institutions that were supposed to help to welcome those women.
