Bonus Episode: A Sentimental Education
What’s that? Another bonus episode??? Kind of! On September 22 (I say October in the episode and I’m too lazy to go back and fix it, but it was September) I launched my new book, A Sentimental Education, at Iron Dog Books. The launch took the form of a conversation between me, Minelle Mahtani (Associate … Continue reading Bonus Episode: A Sentimental Education

For no other reason than I felt like it, here’s a bonus episode. This is an audio version of the essay “Burning Out” that I published in 2020, in the Hair issue of Room Magazine.

Episode 4.29 Saying No! Again! Forever!
It’s here! The final minisode of season four (and frankly, probably, all?) of Secret Feminist Agenda! Ending this podcast series, in its current form at least, is a way of saying no to one thing so that other things will be possible. So join me for one last exploration of the feminist power of refusal. … Continue reading Episode 4.29 Saying No! Again! Forever!

Brace yourself for the lively energy of an interviewer who has been pandemic-isolated for too long and an interviewee who really just wants to talk about reality television.

Episode 4.27 Asking For Help (Again)
This week we’re revisiting one of my all-time favourite conversations: asking for help! I’m asking some of the Big Questions(TM) that have been keeping me awake lately, such as: why do I find it so much harder to ask a colleague for help than a friend? What is the relationship between asking for help and … Continue reading Episode 4.27 Asking For Help (Again)
Klantrecensies
Great
Just so happy that I took the time to listen to some of these podcasts. It took me a bit to get used to the format but I really like it now and learn so much of it. And it feels very intimate and cosy to be part of this listening community.
Hannah McGregor is a feminist icon
This is my favorite podcast of all time. Hannah's treatment of important topics such as feminism, fatness, queerness, pain and academia have been insightful in ways that no book, article, or class ever has. I especially appreciate Hannah's vulnerability and openness in discussing her own experiences with these topics. Not only that, but she has inspired me to accept and explore my own vulnerability as well. As a chronically ill, disabled gay man, this podcast has been hugely influential in developing my thinking about my illness and disability through a feminist lens. On top of that, Hannah subverts traditional models of academic instruction by using this podcast as a legitimate scholarly platform. Finally, although I don't know her personally, Hannah truly feels like a friend, and listening to her podcasts feels like a warm hug. I can't wait to learn more from her and her amazing guests.
This podcast helps you to become a better person
To be honest, I don't think I can even properly express how this podcast has enriched my life. Hannah has helped to develop my critical and feminist thinking better. You gain new knowledge about important topics and learn (at least for me) how to approach the world with an inclusive, open and critical mind. Every episode is a joy and gives you something to think about. Seriously, learn and become a better person through this podcast. Thank you Hannah for all the energy and labour you put into this podcast!
