Danushi and Sam use their giant brains and pop-culture knowledge to connect our passions for women’s (and nbs) rights and women’s wrongs. It’s gender studies, philosophy and academia, but also not gender studies, philosophy and academia at all. Each episode we share some bite sized introductory feminist theory and also deliver a huge serving of some sweet sweet pop culture knowledge. Who says that being smart is mutually exclusive with being a Gemma Collins stan? Not us!
TW (discussion of eating disorders, fatphobia, diet culture) begins 15:30, but we’d like to say here, as Sam said in the recording, that if you do have a history of eating disorders we encourage you to listen, there is no explicitly triggering content in the podcast (e.g. we do not describe behaviour explicitly and there is no discussion of numbers [i.e. weight or calories]).
20:00 Sam knows that it's 500 pounds a year but Sam at this moment decided to try adjusting for inflation on the fly and apparently this was close ish to the 2014 figure of what 500 pounds in 1929 would be, according to this.
26:10 The Maintenance Phase (Sam’s favourite podcast that has been very important to their recovery)
28:00
- The Obesity Epidemic episode of TMP
29:40
- Our Met Gala Video episode xoxooxo
51:54 - 52:30 EXTRA TW: Sam mentions something they did when they were in their ED, not numbers but a sad and real thing
55:30 - Sam is continuing to own the statement that they have pretty privilege. They know this might come across weirdly, but like no it’s true, don’t @ me.

We don't talk about that movie but this is our grand podcast return where we discuss so many things. Sam thinks the episode is funny. We hope you agree. We did zero editing. You're getting raw, uncut content.
This week Danushi has done some intense reading on Spivak's subaltern in preparation for our discussion about whether Bridgerton gets the bestie tick of approval!

This week we're talking about But I'm A Cheerleader and Sam and Danushi's lesbianisms.
This week Sam and Danushi talk about cinema, if the female gaze exists, and why the male gaze is not just 'men looking at things'. We then go what we've been waiting for our whole life. Its Gilmore Girls deep dive time.
Notes:
9:21 Sam would like to acknowledge that unfortunately “seminal” comes from the same root as “semen” and the use of this word may perhaps be in itself contributing to the phallocentric order; perhaps “germinal” would’ve been a better word to use here.

This week, Danushi tells Sam about the history of hysteria, and what it's become in modern medicine.
Correction: we refer to "CPTSD" as childhood post-traumatic stress disorder, when in fact it is more accurately known as complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
In this episode Sam tells Danushi about Linguistic Misogyny and Linguistic prejudice, and then we have a chat about what this all means in relation to Julia Fox and her now infamous appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
