    This podcast gets me thinking. She covers topics that aren’t mainstream, but in a sensitive, comprehensive and balanced way. It’s definitely the podcast that gets me and keeps me thinking, and I love discussing it with my partner!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trad Wives, Momfluencers & Sex After Kids with Jo Piazza
Q: Plug your book, girl. Where can listeners find it and what's it about?
Jo promotes The Parisian Heist, a sexy all-woman art heist set in Paris, and also highlights her previous works, inviting listeners to explore her broader bibliography, including The Parisian Heist as a current summer read.
The Louis C.K. Comeback & What Accountability Do We Actually Want After Sexual Misconduct? with Tess Barker
Q: How do we define the actual harm in Louis C.K.'s case and what counts as accountability?
Harm is framed through power dynamics, coercion, and the impact on victims, with emphasis on acknowledgement, transparent steps for treatment, safety measures in workplaces, and a shift toward humane separation when necessary.
Who Owns a Baby? Sophie Lewis on Ethical Surrogacy & the Future of Pregnancy
Q: What is ethical surrogacy look like if that's even possible?
Ethical surrogacy requires recognizing that surrogacy is already embedded in unequal global labor patterns, and the focus should be on reforming care systems, ensuring consent, fair compensation, and broader social support to reduce coercive dynamics.
Who Owns a Baby? Sophie Lewis on Ethical Surrogacy & the Future of Pregnancy
Q: But how do you think about unpacking parenthood and our ideas about ownership, like in terms of gestation and biology, versus how you think about it?
Genetics isn't a property deed; embryos are emotionally and socially entangled beings, and the notion that a baby is a direct extension of the gestator or genetic contributor is an oversimplification that ignores the broader mutual dependencies and social relations involved.
Who Owns a Baby? Sophie Lewis on Ethical Surrogacy & the Future of Pregnancy
Q: So can you talk to us a little bit about these risks and why they're often underplayed, even in feminist contexts?
The discussion reframes pregnancy morbidity as a real, physical cost and argues that highlighting these risks isn't anti-child but a necessary part of understanding the labor involved and the structural pressures in which pregnancy occurs.
