One name.
Endless stories.
The Hey, Heather! Podcast is a celebration of the people, paths, and wonderfully unexpected stories connected by one familiar name.
The mission
"Interviewing as many of the world's Heathers as humanly possible."
524,154U.S. girls were named Heather between 1926 and 2025, according to Social Security records. That's more than half a million stories—and only one country.
Every episode begins with the name Heather—but it never ends there. Host Heather Yesko Edwards sits down with fascinating Heathers from all over the world to talk about their lives, joys, work, obsessions, the wonderfully weird moments that made them who they are, and everything in between.
What starts as a shared name becomes a doorway into courage, reinvention, creativity, humor, and the stories that make each person entirely their own.
