Just wanted to drop everyone a quick note to let you know that we’re hard at work on Season 4 of Ladyland and plan to start releasing episodes this summer. In the meantime, we’ve got some exciting bonus news for you… we made VIDEOS! We invited some Ladyland guests to find out what a day in their life is all about.

You’ll find the videos on our official site at ladyland.show and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Patreon.
