  • Everything is bad, except this podcast

    Thank you for providing the information I needed to adjust my hate of Phyllis Schlafly to the correct amount. I didn’t hate her nearly enough.

  • I’ve been going to the library like crazy from this podcast.

    It does feel like I snuck into gender studies without paying (as it should be) and each new episode references written work that gets me excited and interested in trying to read more of the feminist writers that helped pave the way we think about gender today. My delight when I checked out “right wing women” to find that Moira wrote the introduction on the version carried in my library was such a cherry on top! (My only sadness is I do have a big crush on Moira’s laugh )

    Thank you for all you do... more

  • Love, but…

    This is a really enjoyable podcast. For the most part it avoids being overly snarky and maintains a level of thoughtfulness I truly appreciate. However, I find at times a lack of specificity in some of the episodes that can be frustrating. For example, the Tech Vibe Shifts episode about AI was literally the generalized, vague convo I’ve heard from them. The kept saying things like “These companies..,” “These people..,” “These billboards” “Conservatives this or that” without any real info on who ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 128 -- Queer Women in Nazi Germany
Q: What was the landscape for queer visibility in Weimar Germany before the Nazi rise to power?
Weimar Germany was unusually open in big cities with flourishing queer movements, periodicals, and a temporary push to reform Paragraph 175, though it was not a utopia and prosecutions still occurred; openness varied by city and social class.
Episode 108 -- Live from San Francisco, It's Moral Panic Bingo Night!
Q: What makes a society less susceptible to moral panics?
Statistically informed analyses, broad-based awareness, and a tolerance for discomfort can help mitigate moral panics.
Episode 108 -- Live from San Francisco, It's Moral Panic Bingo Night!
Q: What does the anti-Semitism panic have in common with other moral panics?
The truth within them is often more complicated and threatens power, leading to distractions.
Episode 91 -- The Mailbag Episode, Part 1
Q: How did you discover your passion for this area of study or line of work?
The host discusses personal experiences of feeling disconnected from traditional femininity, leading to a deep interest in gender issues.
Episode 81: MLM Nation with Bridget Read
Q: How ingrained in American life are they? Do they exist everywhere or are they really more present in certain areas?
MLMs are everywhere and it's likely the true scope is unknown. There have been periods where one in eight Americans were involved in them, and they have expanded significantly overseas since the 1980s.
