First, we need to share some news. This may be our last episode.

We are so grateful to the funding we have received for this podcast over the past four years. But our largest grant is ending soon. So for now, we are saying goodbye. We truly hope to be back in your feed someday.

To commemorate HERO, we are doing one last “follow-up” episode. This was an idea from you, our listeners. You suggested talking to past interviewees and seeing what they are doing now.

For today’s show, we’re doing a “reporters’ roundtable” where we look back and look ahead at some of our most impactful stories of the past eight seasons. Host Reena Ninan talks to Kenya-based reporters Sharon Kiburi and Eunice Maina as well as South-Africa based journalist Elna Schutz.

If you are new to the show, you may want to go back and listen to the stories that Kiburi, Maina, and Schutz talk about on this episode:

• 
  What Works in Defeating Workplace Sexual Harassment (Sharon Kiburi)


• 
  How Men Are Trying to End Gender-Based Violence in South Africa (Elna Schutz)


• 
  The Hidden Economics of Female Genital Mutilation (Eunice Maina)


• 
  The Economics of Period Poverty (Elna Schutz)


•
