    On the Rag: Some cool tips on how to cope with the chaos

    It's our last podcast for a little while so crack open a bottle of something fizzy and join us as we undergo what is basically a group therapy session. We are one week into national lockdown and starting to settle into our new normal, and there is much to discuss. How does Covid-19 affect woman specifically? Is this going to be the end of the beauty industry? And why is everyone so horny? Beyond that, we'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been a part of the On the Rag community over the past five years. We've laughed together, we've cried together, we've raged together. It's not goodbye forever, just goodbye for now x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  3. On the Rag: Victories in the courts and dramas over shorts

    On the Rag: Victories in the courts and dramas over shorts

    The On the Rag team assemble to dissect the previous month in news, media and feminism.  It's somehow the end of February so we're here to look back at the month in Women's Stuff. Uniform shorts are sending young women into counselling sessions at a a local high school, but why? How the hell did anyone think Hannah Tamaki was going to make it onto Dancing With the Stars NZ without a fuss? And how crucial is the Weinstein verdict to the #MeToo movement? Beyond that, we have some news about the future of the podcast (it's not soooo bad), share our cool tips of the month and work through the horror of getting the ECP at the chemist. It's also Mercury Retrograde, so don't blame us for the chaotic energy, swear words and fumbled sentences that go nowhere. You have been warned.   Hosted on Acast.

    On the Rag: Vagina candles, climate angst and the power of Lizzo

    The On the Rag team assemble to dissect what feels like the longest month in human history.  We're back for another year to yarn about all things to do with women in the news and media, along with some other things that have nothing to do with anything. The first month of 2020 has come to a close and we already feel like we have lived a million lives. How can you focus on your 2020 resolutions when the sky is orange? Why do people not want to talk about Kobe's past? And why is Gwyneth selling vagina candles? Beyond that, we recommend our favourite holiday reads and TV shows, go down the sad rabbit-hole of Stefan Molyneux's Twitter, check in with the horror of the Weinstein trial and share our favourite tips of the month. Oh, and Michéle interviewed Margaret Atwood for The Project, so she's basically one of us now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

  6. On the Rag: Sometimes the best self-care is just having a big rage

    On the Rag: Sometimes the best self-care is just having a big rage

    Alex Casey, Leonie Hayden and Michèle A’Court tackle the past month in women, with thanks to our friends at The Women’s Bookshop.  As Christmas breathes down our necks and summer threatens us with bikini waxing, it's time to have a bit of a rage. November was a rough month for women in New Zealand. The Grace Millane trial was dragged through the media in excruciating detail, and the public examination of her sex life reminded us that women just can't win either way. We reflect on how it all played out, and look at some ways to help out of all the sadness. We also talk about how to get ready for summer (you don't actually need to do anything) and how self-care might all be a crock of shit. Also: TI is a terrible man, male birth control is here if he can stomach a shot to the nuts, and you simply have to read this bonkers story about an influencer and her ghost writer. Make sure you head to our Facebook page for a chance to win The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls and enjoy their bestseller list for November: 1. Olive, Again – Elizabeth Strout 2. WomanKind: New Zealand Women Making a Difference – Margie Thomson 3. Girl, Woman, Other – Bernadine Evaristo 4. The Testaments – Margaret Atwood 5. The Dutch House – Ann Patchett 6.

    On the Rag meets Gloria Steinem

    In this special episode of On the Rag, we are joined by author, activist and feminist hero Gloria Steinem ahead of the launch of her new book "The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off".

  8. On the Rag: Scrambled brains, bad cartoons and the Freddy Krueger in the room

    On the Rag: Scrambled brains, bad cartoons and the Freddy Krueger in the room

    Alex Casey, Leonie Hayden, Michèle A’Court tackle the past month in women, with thanks to our friends at The Women’s Bookshop.  Boo! We witches are back for a scary Halloween podcast, after a month where Freddy Krueger (Harvey Weinstein) showed his face in public and was courageously confronted by two women in Los Angeles. There's also been a terrifyingly bad cartoon drawn about nasty mothers and their beloved phones, and Ernst and Young have issued a 55 page briefing for their female staff that is so shocking it could wake the dead. There's also the problem with Lonely lingerie, a mansplain to end all mansplains and an absurd interaction during a facial. All of that, plus also the things we’ve been watching and reading this month – including Big Mouth on Netflix, Jenny Slate's comedy special, and this phenomenal piece about beauty influencers. Make sure you head to our Facebook page for a chance to win Scented by Laurence Fearnley (and perfume!) and enjoy their bestseller list for October: The Dutch House by Ann Patchett The Testaments by Margaret Atwood Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong Year of the Monkey by Patti Smith The Strength of Eggshells by Kirsty Powell Lost in the Spanish Quarter by Heddi Goodrich Bruny by Heather Rose No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference by Greta Thunberg Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo Learn more about your ad choices.
