    The Witch Trials Were Never Really About Witches with Lucianne Tonti

    Most of us were taught the witch trials were mass hysteria. Author Lucianne Tonti argues they were about land, labor, and control, and the word “gossip” is where it starts to unravel. In this conversation, Denise Love Hewett and Lucianne Tonti trace how the witch hunts reshaped women’s power, our relationship to nature, and the economy we’re still living in. Lucianne is the author of Good Witch: In Search of Our Lost Feminine Power, and she researched the witch hunts across Europe and North America. Her argument is that the witch hunts did more than persecute women. They helped clear the way for a world where the land, and women’s work, could be exploited. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why the witch hunts targeted women, and why Lucianne says it was about control, not magic How the enclosure of the commons pushed people off shared land and into wage work How care work became unpaid, and how Lucianne links that to today’s childcare, eldercare, and affordability crises What “gossip,” “spinster,” and “nymph” originally meant, and how each word was twisted Why Rapunzel is actually a radish, and what the story’s witch has to do with gardening Why Lucianne says the scientific revolution’s limits matter for climate and ecosystems What Lucianne means by “re-enchantment as resistance,” and how to practice it day to day Lucianne’s claim that today’s politics echoes King James’s witch-hunt playbook (her argument, and she makes it plainly) A new paradigm Denise and Lucianne name together: Enchantalism This conversation is for anyone curious about the real history behind the witch trials, the rise of modern witchcraft, feminine power, and what a different way of living might look like.

    Why the Cornell 7 Case Hits So Hard with Dr. Caroline Heldman

    Why has the Cornell 7 case hit women in a way other cases haven't? Dr. Caroline Heldman says it isn't the crime itself, it's what the group chat let women see about the culture behind it. ⚠️ Content note: this episode discusses sexual violence, including the Cornell case. If it's too much for you, take care of yourself and come back when you're ready. In this episode of Too Much with Denise Love Hewett, political scientist and survivor advocate Dr. Caroline Heldman joins Denise to unpack the Cornell group chat, rape culture, and why she believes the largest gender justice movement of our lifetimes stalled. What You'll Learn: Why Heldman says Me Too raised awareness but never built accountability What "hegemonic masculinity" means, and why she calls it a performance policed by other men Why she argues consent is not an education problem Why she thinks banning fraternities misses the point, and what anthropologist Peggy Sanday concluded in 1983 The concrete steps she proposes: federal evidence reform, a national database of expelled students, zero-tolerance policies, and changing how boys are raised What the 4B movement in South Korea is, and why Heldman says choice feminism left women without the language to critique patriarchy Where the two disagree: Heldman is pessimistic that men will give up power, while Denise argues they stand to gain more than they lose Statistics in this episode are cited by Dr. Heldman.

    How to Stay Human in the Age of AI with Marco Palou

    Marco Palou had AI paint half of his book cover, and on a phone screen he liked it better. So why does he say it can't even begin to compete with the half a human painted? In this conversation, artist and author Marco Palou (Baby Yors) joins Denise Love Hewett to talk about creativity in the age of AI, an internet filling up with AI slop, and why the friction of making things may be the part worth protecting. What You'll Learn: Why Marco says art is communication and a dialogue with yourself, not a product or a metric How he used AI on an album cover and why that process, with a photographer friend, still felt human to him Why Denise and Marco both think skipping the hard part of creating means missing the point of art Why working artists are pushed to be a "machine gun of content", and what that costs your creative process Marco's hope that deepfakes will get so good that people leave social media The "cathedral method", Marco's way of keeping many long-term projects connected How he redefines success, including what his 94-year-old neighbor taught him You can find Marco @marcopalou and @babyyors.

    Matriarchy Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means with Dr. Heide Göttner-Abendroth

    What if everything you've been taught about matriarchy is wrong? Dr. Heide Göttner-Abendroth — a two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and the founder of modern matriarchal studies — spent 40+ years researching societies that still exist today with no rulers, no hierarchy, and no one person in charge. In this episode, we go deep on what real matriarchal societies actually look like (hint: it's not women ruling over men), how consensus decision making works at village and regional scale, why a gift economy might function better than capitalism, and what a realistic path toward degrowth could look like as late-stage patriarchy and societal collapse accelerate around us. We also get into the uncomfortable question of why the world's billionaires are quietly building bunkers instead of building better communities — and what the rest of us can do instead, starting tomorrow. If you've been feeling the specific exhaustion I call millennial malaise — where you did everything right and the promised payoff never showed up — this conversation offers a genuinely different blueprint, not just another critique of the one we have. We cover: the real definition of matriarchy, how mother-led clan councils reach unanimous consensus, why the Iroquois and the Minangkabau are still living proof it works, gift economy vs. money economy, degrowth and regional self-governance, and two concrete things you can start doing today to bring matriarchal patterns into your own life. New episodes of Too Much drop every week, breaking down new blueprints for how we actually live now.

    The Beauty Standard Is a Patriarchal Tool with Dr. Allycin Powell-Hicks

    Dr. Allycin Powell-Hicks says the beauty standard was never really about beauty — it's about control. In this episode, she and Denise pull apart exactly how patriarchy and racism built the rules for who counts as "attractive," and why the people chasing those rules the hardest are the ones getting hurt by them most. Dr. Ally (psycho-futurist, PhD, and author of The Problem With Pretty) breaks down the psychology behind pretty privilege, why looksmaxxing culture is a trap for young men, and how self-esteem gets rewired before you're even old enough to question it — including the wild stat that by age 8, kids' self-worth is already half tied to their looks. They also get into the "ick" phenomenon, why your brain doesn't even perceive skin tone objectively, glamour vs. beauty, the four B movement, and why diversifying your self-esteem is the actual way out. In this episode, you'll learn: Why beauty standards function as a tool of patriarchy — and who actually benefits The real psychology behind pretty privilege and why it doesn't guarantee love or longevity in relationships Why looksmaxxing and the manosphere are chasing the wrong thing entirely How racism is embedded in perception itself (the face-race lightness illusion) What "diversifying your self-esteem" means and how to actually start doing it Why your self-worth stats were basically set before you turned 12 If you've ever felt like you're losing a game with rules that keep changing, this conversation will change how you see beauty, attraction, and your own reflection.
