The Feminist Buzzkills are out on a summer break, but we know your earholes need a pro-abobo fix – so we GOTCHU!    GUEST ROLL CALL: Remember the story of the Indiana OB-GYN who, just days after Roe v. Wade was overturned, performed a LIFE-SAVING abortion on a 10-year-old CHILD who was turned away for care by the state of Ohio back in 2022? WELL, your Buzzkills brought in that AMAZING provider who stays fighting the good fight in and around the Hoosier State. Dr. Caitlin Bernard, Indiana-based OB-GYN and Assistant Professor at Indiana University Medical School, joins the Buzzkills to yap about the growing-up-in-a-hippie-commune to becoming-a-doctor pipeline and the devastating impact of USAID cuts. She also gets real about the exodus of OB-GYNs and med students from states with bans and shares what it means to provide abortion care in a state with a near-total abortion ban where anti-abobo cuntservatives are coming for providers. Sometimes hope looks like a doctor who refuses to quit and instead keeps fighting like hell. PLUS!

    No Lube, So Rude With Peaches & Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari

    Another week, another weekly dose of your fav podcast, and international abortion hellscapes are just where it starts! Your Buzzkills explore the fatberg of shitty reactions to Massachusetts expanding abortion access, plus a short trip to the land of magical anti-abortion thinking, AKA a place where people (mostly white dudes) ask questions no one wanted answered, like: What if we decriminalized rape so people could get fewer abortions, since states only allow abortions in “exceptions” like rape? PLUS! We’ll sprinkle on a sliver of good news, update you on the surrogate story from hell, and unpack questions people ACTUALLY want answered like, “What the actual fuck iz “Operation Pangea?”    GUEST ROLL CALL: What happens when an OB-GYN from the Beaver State gets an RV? Reproductive healthcare hits the road. Portland’s Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari — board-certified OB-GYN and certified badass — is bringing care to rural Oregon and the Pacific Northwest with FemForward Health, her mobile clinic. She joins the Buzzkills to talk Massachusetts ditching its gestational abortion ban, healthcare reform, and her must-read memoir, Labor: One Woman’s Work.   PLUSSSSS! SOUND THE ALARM AND HOLD ONTO YOUR STRAP! The one and only PEACHES is back on the pod! The badass musician and artist returns to blab with the Buzzkills about her No Lube So Rude tour that benefits abortion access, rocking the fuck out of menopause, and taking her rage, joy, voting power, and sex-positive energy on tour at 60!   Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all.

PLUS! Hold onto your cafecito because Carmen Morales is here to hilariously unpack hormones, narcissistic parents, and being an I-grew-up-in-Florida survivor. The FUNNY AF comedian and podcaster swings by to yap about her podcast, being "chemically in a weird place" (thanks, PCOS – yes we are still using its deadname), getting radicalized by her aunties, and the beautiful art of dragging the Sunshine State.    Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all.

    Jimothy Has More Rizz Than Andrew Tate With Ericka Hart & Heb Murphy

    Yer Buzzkills break down the facts about Trump’s silent but deadly CDC nominee. Sure, she gleefully promoted surveillance on abortion seekers, but it’s what she DIDN’T say in her confirmation hearings that could be worse than a Jesse Watters stag party at a Taco Bell. All that and a lawsuit win comes out of South Dakota, updates drop on the Texas midwife story we’ve been following, and Josh Hawley throws a tantrum over Plan C Pills’ website.    GUEST ROLL CALL: What does it mean to build a world where sex education is rooted in pleasure, consent, and liberation? The dopest sex educator we know is HERE! Author and activist, Ericka Hart, who combines her lived experiences as a Queer, Black, Femme with her expertise as a sex educator for her book Nasty Work.

The comedian and digital creator delivers the serotonin as she joins the Buzzkills to talk about writing jingles that we can all somehow relate hard to, why touching grass is deeply therapeutic, and what Bill Nye and Ken Ham have to do with her going from conservative AF to queer AF by the age of 22.   Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all.
