  • Not really a feminist

    I just want all the women who think that Deborah fun fab and empowering to realise that she is actually men’s rights activist. Just think! Feminism isn’t about us very comfortable, privileged women, it’s about all women including the very vulnerable, the ones who have tough lives, who have to live in poor conditions and communities surrounded by parolees and other violent and disturbed people we may never have contact with.

    I have learnt so much about myself and the world by hearing open conversations about our culture and society leavened with comedy. So good!

  • Deb!

    Found you for the AJLT recaps, stayed for the really insightful catalogue of episodes. Pumped you had Laura Bates on! Love her work. I also think your AJLT/Carrie voiceover rewrites deserve a Peabody 😂

  • Great episode on the EHRC Bathroom Ban

    Thank you so much for getting the word out about the terrible bathroom ban that the EHRC are trying to bring in. You really helped explain what is really going on and what this will mean for trans people. For anyone who has a feminist ally, like me, have a look as well for the “Not In Our Name” petition to support the trans community! Really looking forward to listening to more episodes of this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Roadkill with Professor Dame Henrietta Moore
Q: Can you tell us what the problem is with electric cars? And why do we think that they represent a panacea?
Electric cars are not a complete solution; while they are better than traditional cars, their environmental impact can still be negative, especially in relation to lithium extraction and the true costs associated with car culture.
Roadkill with Professor Dame Henrietta Moore
Q: Could you tell us what the big issue is with cars? What does this book expose?
The book explores the conversations we have around cars and challenges the narrative that cars are simply symbols of freedom, suggesting instead they may limit freedoms for others.
455. The Road to Gilead with Neil Datta
Q: Do you think there are some feminists who are gender critical who know that this is being engineered by the far Christian right in America?
Some feminists are aware that the Christian right is involved, but may not fully understand its broader implications and alliances.
455. The Road to Gilead with Neil Datta
Q: Neil, what are your fears about how the anti-gender movement is going?
The anti-gender movement has evolved rapidly, especially in Europe, posing real risks to women's rights and democracy through far-right political parties.
453. Money and Feminism with Corinne Low
Q: How can women improve their negotiation skills?
By focusing on developing skills rather than changing their inherent traits, and learning to value their worth in the workplace more confidently.
