7 feminist podcasts you need to listen to immediately
If there’s one thing we can’t get enough of, it’s podcasts. Useful, entertaining and full of juicy information (if you pick wisely), they’re a necessity for long commutes and lazy Sundays. And while we love a gritty crime podcast (hello, Serial), nothing beats a good, feminist, girl chat.
From anti-s*** shaming hit Guys We F*ed, to the hilarious 2 Dope Queens, here are seven feminist podcasts you need to listen to immediately.
Guys We F***ed
Feminist duo Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson are fiercely filthy in their widely popular anti-s*** shaming podcast series Guys We F*ed. The comedians candidly discuss their wildest sexual experiences and interview guys they’ve slept with to learn more about themselves while deconstructing the stigma often attached to sexual women. Heavier issues such as sexual assault and verbal abuse are also common topics of conversation later in the series.
2 Dope Queens
American BFFs Phoebe Robinson and Jessica Williams are a comedic power duo. Their podcast 2 Dope Queens is a hilarious discussion of everything from romance and race to natural hair journeys and life in New York. Their podcast was so popular that HBO picked it up last summer for a TV adaptation, which aired last month. The pair also host live comedy shows in Brooklyn.
The Guilty Feminist
Comedian Deborah Frances-White records her podcast with special guests and a live audience as she talks all things modern day feminism while opening up about their insecurities, hypocrisies, and fears that underlie their principles and values. All with a bundle of laughs, of course!
Women of the Hour
Lena Dunham’s 2015 podcast Women of the Hour is still a classic. Throughout the miniseries, the Girls star has had guest appearances from the likes of Gabourey Sidibe and Jamie Lee Curtis. She covers everything from friendship, and spirituality to body insecurities and, while championing other women in the process.
Stuff Mom Never Told You
Self-proclaimed podcast wives Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin discuss womanhood, gender and sex. With over 800 episodes, it’s safe to say they’ve covered every life drama in the book. Humour and perfectly timed one-liners are a bonus.
RuPaul: What's The Tee
If you’re as obsessed with RuPaul’s Drag Race as we are, you’ll love this one. In it, RuPaul and Michelle Visage discuss everything pop culture and give advice on all aspects of life.
Black Girls Talking
As the title may suggest, this popular podcast sees a group of four black women come together to talk all things pop culture, beauty, music and the struggles of daily life.
