Julie is the co-creator and host of the Wonder Media Network podcast, White Picket Fence, a show that interrogates the structures of inequity affecting women since America’s founding and unpacks how white womanhood and the conception of the nuclear family affect our culture, politics, and policies in ways that hurt all of us.

 

Season Four Out Now!

On our newest season, host Julie Kohler investigates mothers as a political force—how motherhood has been used for political gain and why the identity of "mother" remains so politically potent. Join us in exploring where we have fallen short and what we can do to create a better future.

In honor of Women's History Month, we launched a special crossover season of White Picket Fence, in partnership with our sister podcast, Women Belong in the House. Join Jenny Kaplan and me to learn more about the legislative champions who are working to make publicly supported child care, universal preK, paid family and medical leave, and the expanded child tax credit a reality.

 
 

Season Two examined the care crisis and the ideologies -- about race, gender, families, the economy, and yes, white women -- that have led us to a point where so many of us are cracking...and why it doesn't have to be this way.

 
 

Season One examined the fractured—and often frustrating—politics of white women and the role we all can play in building a more just and equitable nation.
