  • amazing podcast!

    moira donegan is such an intelligent and insightful thinker, especially when it comes to topics relating to gender or misogyny. I read quite a lot of feminist and queer theory but I'm still amazed by her observations all the time. Thank you!

  • great pod except for the comments on people's looks

    overall a thought-provoking podcast with many sharp insights! the one thing that gives me pause is the frequent jabs at people's appearances - i know that they're often talking about horrible people, but just on principle it leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. i'm sure plenty of good people also have and can't help the same features they make digs at, and it just seems unnecessary to make that the target of cruelty when there is plenty of legiminate material for moral complaint.

  • Really enjoyable

    The nerdier, the better—I really loved the natural law episode and the Wagner episodes! Project 1933 was a highlight last year as well.

    I really wish the bonus episodes were available on Apple Podcasts and not just through Patreon though. Why not make them available via subscription here too?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 145 -- Third Anniversary Mailbag Spectacular
Q: Is Freud washed? Should we still study Freudian theory in gender and cultural analysis?
Freud remains useful as a framework for identifying patterns and asking questions about the unconscious, but his theories lack empirical measurability; the dialogue emphasizes how Freud can illuminate contradictions in culture even as parts of his claims are contested.
Episode 145 -- Third Anniversary Mailbag Spectacular
Q: How have your students and colleagues reacted to your podcast, and how many listen?
Undergrads have occasionally listened and found hearing the hosts in real life strange, but overall colleagues largely do not listen; some listeners later recognize voices during office hours, which can be awkward yet endearing.
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!
