  • Listen. Learn. Laugh.

    Absolutely fantastic. Funny, informative and absolutely vital. I recently discovered TGF and have powered through the last year - I only wish I’d found it sooner. My hubby is also a huge fan. Couldn’t recommend it more!

  • Thank you.

    I still rate this podcast five stars. However, it's not the same podcast it used to be. Ten years ago, I used to force my teenage sons to listen in the car with me. There's no way I would want young, impressionable people to listen to this confusing rhetoric.

    The pod started as a feminist fun comedy podcast and then became more inclusive of the disabled, LGB and then trans. Along the way, we all learnt a little or a lot, but always in a fun, safe environment. Race was always included throughout,... more

  • Hopeful and uplifting

    I listened to the 2 part episode featuring Zack Polanski and was absolutely blown away by the amazing questions and positive answers. This entire series on the road to Gilead has been brilliant. I recommend this completely.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

507. John Proctor is the Villain with Susan Wokoma
Q: How is it a different play now than perhaps it would have been in 2018?
The guests say the play feels more defiant and urgent amid what they see as regression and backlash. They emphasize the need to keep telling stories that create hope and challenge the tendency not to believe women.
507. John Proctor is the Villain with Susan Wokoma
Q: What drew you to the roles and the story?
The actors describe the script as fresh, unusually authentic in its portrayal of young women, and meaningful for audiences who experienced the Me Too movement. They valued its complex characters, friendship and refusal to mock teenage girls.
506. More than Medicine with Rachel Parris, Nnenna Kanu and Sam Jacobs
Q: What are the symptoms for secondary breast cancer?
Possible signs include a persistent cough, lower-back bone pain, and fatigue. Sam recommends learning the signs and symptoms through MetUp UK and seeking guidance.
506. More than Medicine with Rachel Parris, Nnenna Kanu and Sam Jacobs
Q: How successful so far have you been in finding similarities in families?
The team has completed much of the sequencing and is now analyzing the data to identify patterns in families affected by breast cancer.
504. Thelma and Louise with Callie Khouri, Rachel Tucker, Amy Lennox, Imogen Brodie and Nadia Fall
Q: What made you want to take this genius and classic film and turn it into a musical?
Khouri says the idea came from Scott Delman, and she initially thought it sounded unlikely. Her husband, T-Bone Burnett, suggested Neko Case for the music, and Khouri felt Case's poetic songwriting could do the story justice without making it a conventional musical.
