Real conversations. Big sister energy. Serious topics, without the doom scroll. HASSL’d is a podcast about women’s safety - and what it will actually take to make things better. We’re taking the conversations women have been having for years out of the group chat and bringing everyone into them, especially men. Through honest conversations, lived experiences, influential guests and some funny moments too, we look at all the issues that sit under the umbrella of women’s safety - from harassment, relationships and dating to masculinity, misogyny, allyship and the culture that shapes how we treat each other. This isn’t another podcast telling women what to avoid, where not to go or how to keep themselves safe. We want to shift the conversation towards understanding the problem, questioning what we’ve come to accept as normal and helping more people, especially men, recognise the role they can play in changing it. Expect red flags, listener dilemmas, surprising research, different perspectives, good news, bad news and plenty of laughs along the way. Because women’s safety isn’t just a women’s issue - and change needs everyone in the conversation. Come for the conversation. Leave seeing something differently.

    Women’s safety, politics and the stories we’re sold | Femi Oluwole

    “If it’s not about keeping women safe… what are you actually here for?” What happens when women’s safety becomes part of a much bigger political argument – and how do you actually get through to someone when you completely disagree? This week, Natasha and Carla are joined by Femi Oluwole (@femi_sorry ) – political activist, creator and street interviewer, known for taking some of the biggest political arguments off the internet and talking them through face-to-face. We get into the political narratives that form around women’s safety, how to challenge someone without immediately shutting down the conversation, and what Femi has learnt from speaking to people whose politics are worlds apart from his own. We also talk about algorithms rewarding outrage over nuance, media literacy, why what men say when they’re around other men matters, and Femi’s own experiences – including how power and physical safety can completely change the way the same experience is understood. PLUS: what’s been winding us up (from the heavy to the light stuff), Green Light, Red Light on politics, cats, terrible repliers and people who clap when the plane lands (!), and Femi’s big sibling advice. Note: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse, sexual harassment and violence. From 24:24-28:03, Femi discusses his experiences of abuse and safety in sexual situations. HASSL’d contains mature content, including occasional strong language and conversations around harassment, misogyny and violence. HASSL’d is sponsored by Pod.

    Why women’s safety can’t be women’s responsibility | Amy Watson

    “We so often put the responsibility on the people most affected by that issue to solve it.” Why are women still being taught how to stay safe instead of everyone else being taught how to make the world safer? For our very first episode of HASSL’d, Natasha and Carla are joined by the woman who started it all: HASSL founder Amy Watson. We get into how HASSL began, why prevention and education have always been at the heart of the mission, and why men have to be part of the conversation if anything is actually going to change. We also talk about the things we were taught to accept as girls, what men can do when women aren’t in the room, the tiny ways misogyny shows up in everyday life, and why inviting men into the conversation doesn’t mean making it all about them. PLUS: what’s been winding us up (there's always something), our first Green Light, Red Light, some fairly horrifying Gen Z statistics in Guess Again, and Amy’s big sibling advice. Note: This episode includes discussion of stalking, harassment and sexual violence. We’ll always give you a warning before the heavier sections so you can protect your peace if you need to. Natasha’s experience of being stalked is discussed from 12:17–13:51. HASSL’d contains mature content, including occasional strong language and conversations around harassment, misogyny and violence. --- HASSL’d is sponsored by Pod.
