Unscripted conversations with Toni Cowan-Brown and Sorcha Rochford about current affairs, pop culture, life, and how we got here. We are fiercely opinionated, unapologetically honest and we don’t always agree. Join us weekly for a deep dive into honest conversations where empathy and vulnerability, and facts take center stage.

  1. Does negativity sell as much as sex?

    Does negativity sell as much as sex?

    From this conversation, we came to the realisation that we may also be romanticising an era of journalism that no longer exists. In an ever-globalised world, we are continuously aware of what's happening but our media may not be equipped to cover the complexities of such events as the uprising that we are witnessing in Iran. As we continue to be in the 24h news cycle, what is the line between a journalist and a celebrity pundit?  And who do we trust to bring us to deliver the news impartially and factually?

  2. The "now that I have your attention" era of politics

    The "now that I have your attention" era of politics

    We took some time to look at what the data can tell us about these mid-term elections and what we can expect moving forward. Stay tuned for part two next week where we discuss election integrity.

  3. Leadership for rent

    Leadership for rent

    As two women who identify as the left side of the political aisle, we question why the UK Conservative party has a track record of putting women forward to be elected (unlike the Labour party) and yet these women are constantly set up for failure. When we're in the conversation about women in leadership, we identify that the failings are present in all industries - from politics to porn. ps: please excuse me for calling Megan Markle, Magle.

  4. The gulf between royals and reality

    The gulf between royals and reality

    We can acknowledge the magnitude of her leadership and her role as a woman over nine decades - from Winston to Truss. No other leader, let alone a woman has lived through. that tenure. With that said, we cannot overlook the violent colonization by the British Empire of African, Asian and Caribbean nations. A bitter reminder to many of the decades of suffering, and economic and social devastation to many Black, POC, and Irish communities... just to name a few. Now more than ever, the role of the royal family is in question.

  5. Every Tweet has its Truth

    10/03/2022

    Every Tweet has its Truth

    It is a very slippery slope to have two separate platforms - one for each ideology (i.e. Twitter and Truth) - whereby we can pretend that the 'other' isn't present and actively so. What does it look like (and take) to be able to listen to the other side? If only to remain informed vs. the very human desire we have to change minds.

  6. How do you know the earth is round?

    How do you know the earth is round?

    Most recently a man by the name of Andrew Tate took the internet by storm mostly because of his falsehoods and our desire for polarizing content. There is an inherent complexity in discussing the likes of Andrew Tate but are there pieces we can all agree with? The reality is that we often don't have the tools or even channels/spaces to have an informed discussion on the topic. E-mail: hello@unapologeticwomen.co  www.unapologeticwomen.co

  7. Why does my vagina bother you?

    Why does my vagina bother you?

    For our first episode back we started our conversation on the recent media outrage targeted at Finnish Prime Minister, Sanna Marin for being a woman that ‘had the audacity’ to go out on a night out with friends. This story hit a nerve with both of us for many reasons but at its core, it was the double standard. E-mail: hello@unapologeticwomen.co  www.unapologeticwomen.co

  8. Shut up and perform

    Shut up and perform

    We acknowledge that this is not a zero-sum game and that it is not a 'male' problem but rather a societal issue. We live in a society that has isolated women to be objects and performers rather than people. This is not a man vs. woman problem - we all have to change the way we think, act, and react.
