Is It Time To Reclaim 'Karen'?
Two topics have enraged Amanda and Anita recently: Pronatalism, and the idea of a 'Karen'. In this episode they unpack both. The former is a belief that reproductive rates need to be increased, and the latter is the generic brand the internet uses to describe entitled middle aged women. What kind of paths could Pronatalism lead to? Is calling someone a 'Karen' just another way of silencing women's voices? Much to think about in this episode...

To Gossip or Not To Gossip
TikTok rabbit holes can lead to strange, and sometimes insightful places. This week Amanda shares one particular video that got her thinking about gossip. It has become a dirty word - but should we give it more credit? Can it be positive and even productive? Or should a coin be put in a jar every time we talk about someone else?
Where does that line get drawn...

The Push And Pull Of Progress
This week Amanda and Anita unpack a confronting speech made at a graduation ceremony that lit up the internet because of its brazen misogyny. They share their personal reactions to the video, the grammatically incorrect rants in the comments section defending the speaker, and the schoolteacher who proved that sometimes a bit of tasteful ridicule can provide a small joy when tensions are running high in debates such as these.

Customer Reviews
Two impressive women with wonderful perspectives and insight.
Love the podcast A squared! Just listened to the ‘Upstream’ episode and while it’s truly awful to keep hearing about the terrible violence perpetrated against women, it was heartening to hear Anita’s deep insights into what can and should be done to support change. You’re both such impressive women with a beautiful friendship. Thank you for sharing some of that with us. I also loved the glimmer about Logan - I could picture the scene and can understand how Anita felt that way - delightful! I also shared with a colleague that working with her is my ongoing ‘glimmer’ as it’s such a positive, lovely sentiment. Thanks, gals!
Feedback on funeral episode
Amanda asked for feedback regarding funerals. Please listen to So, I quit my day job. Cathrine Mahoney interviewing Bill Edgar aka The Coffin Confessor, how he carries out deeds for the dead. It is AMAZING, funny, you’ll have audible intake of breath.
