ROCHESTER — After a monthslong hiatus, a local women’s health podcast is back — and expanding.
Pelvis Party, a video podcast series from
launched its third season at the beginning of January with a renewed focus on engaging listeners in Rochester and beyond.
“The vision that I’ve had for it is really for it to stand on its own,” said Britt Marschall, marketing and business relations manager at OMC, “so it doesn’t feel like you have to live here in Rochester, in Southeast Minnesota or Minnesota, in general, to relate to the content.”
debuted in December 2022, after Marschall,
Rochester Local’s Becky Montpetit
and OMC’s Dr. Melissa Richards met up for coffee. They were discussing, Marschall said, OMC’s video outreach efforts during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As we were sitting there, we were sharing our own personal stories,” Marschall said. “We all kind of had the ‘aha’ moment that this is what it should look like — it should just be really natural, open conversations.”
Over the next two years, the team published 34 episodes, all around 15 minutes in length, covering topics from pelvic pain and incontinence to Cesarean sections and surrogate pregnancy.
During 2025, Marschall said the team took a pause to evaluate Pelvis Party’s performance and what its future would be. That future includes an audio-only spin-off show, After Clinic Hours, and Pelvis Party’s own
channels.
“It’s its own brand that will continue to evolve and become something that any woman, anybody — even husbands, right, who have wives going through menopause,” Marschall said. “I hope that they listen to the show, can tune into the content without feeling like they have to be attached to a brand.”
Pelvis Party’s hiatus ended on Jan. 6, with Marschall, Montpetit and Richards appearing in the first episode of the podcast’s third season. The three hosts took viewers’ health questions, with Richards, an OB-GYN and division chair of hospital and surgical services at OMC, supplying answers.
“One of the biggest barriers to education is access and trust,” Richards said. “Pelvis Party is a powerful platform for breaking down those barriers and creating space for honest, approachable conversations.”
A few days later, the first episode of After Clinic Hours, hosted by Marschall,
Spotify and Apple Podcasts. For Marschall, the spin-off show allows her to produce more content without the extra resources required for video editing and filming.
“After Clinic Hours,” she said, “also gives me flexibility in content, and I do plan to diversity it with other providers who don’t necessarily fit in that traditional women’s health bucket.”
In all, Marschall said she hopes that the episodes continue to help patients learn and talk about their health concerns.
“We’ve had patients come into the clinic and say, ‘I saw this episode, and it finally gave me the confidence to come in and talk about it,'” Marschall said. “I just love that.”
