Today is National Podcast Day, and we invited our producer Freddy Cruz to talk about the stories behind Let's Talk About Your Breasts.

• You’ll hear about how we started, and why telling your story in your own words matters.
• We'll share moments that have moved us, changed us, and maybe even changed the people listening.
• And we’ll talk about the power of community support and what it means to be your own advocate.
