The Bad Feminists

The Bad Feminists - Episode 8 (Women’s AFL, Body Hair Removal, Racism, Far Right Politics in Australia)

We reference: Bork Bork, ALP Spicy Meme Stash and Innovative and Agile Memes

We discuss International Women’s Day, Beyonce, JK Rowling, online trolling, and more. Next week - The US Campaign Trail!

We talk about recent incidents of sexism both on and offline, Australia and abroad. Featuring Richard Dawkins, Chris Gayle, Jamie Briggs and more!

We chat about Amy’s research in Bangladesh, challenges, opportunities and cultural difference. The audio is slightly patchy due to connectivity issues, but we hope the content overcomes those limitations.

This week we talk a little bit about the sociology of new years resolutions. We talk about our body improvement projects (30 Day Shred and Kayla Itsines Bikini Body) and with references to Oprah’s new Weight Watchers commercial and we chat about the books we should be reading. This is a short and chatty episode and less Star Wars heavy. We’ll be back next week with a podcast from Amy in Bangladesh!

In this podcast we discuss Christmas feels and food. We have a very spoilery chat about Star Wars, we check in with Naomi’s homework from last week - Fight Club, discuss black Hermione and as always discuss our bad feminist moments of the week. pic.twitter.com/9MlgorTNSP — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) December 22, 2015 Alanna Bennett’s article on Hermione here. Our theme music by ‘The Joy Drops’ via FMA here.   You can now write to us at thebadfeminists@gmail.com!

In this episode Amy and I (Naomi) introduce ourselves, talk about Grey’s Anatomy, Fight Club, climate change and our bad feminist moments of the week. We’re new the this whole pod casting thing so forgive the slightly scratchy audio. Here is a link to our theme song, the gorgeous fair trade bags Amy talks about can be found here and here. And, some news about the poor economic outlook for Adani’s Queensland project.
