Dandelions: A podcast for women
Dandelions: A podcast for Women is a monthly podcast from writers, media personalities and friends Molly Snyder and Julie Davidson.

During the episodes, the Milwaukee-based women unearth the darkest of topics in the lightest, fluffiest and funniest ways possible. The show features local and national guests.
