In this special episode of Weatherford Daze, we welcome a very special guest—our daughter, Leya! Together, Leya and Rachel dive deep into what makes a truly great female protagonist. From Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games to Lucy Gray in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and even Hera from The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, we explore the qualities that make these characters compelling, relatable, and iconic.

But our discussion goes beyond individual characters. We examine the deeper question of defining the undefinable—how storytelling, like both art and science, often wrestles with concepts that resist easy explanation. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about strong heroines, narrative depth, and the magic that makes certain stories unforgettable!
