Produced by Pearson and Storythings, Nevertheless describes itself as "a podcast celebrating the women transforming teaching and learning through technology."

To go along with its roughly 30-minute podcast episodes, Nevertheless has also shared a series of short videos featuring young women in STEM fields and discussions with women who work in educational technology, as well as bonus content such as downloadable posters of STEM role models, background reading lists, and written articles.
