    The Right to an Abortion Doesn't Actually Pay for An Abortion

    In this solo episode of B*tch, Listen, Imani Gandy asks what it means to protect abortion rights on paper when people can't afford to use them in practice. Her theory: Funding is the first thing a coalition gives up, because funding for abortion can be capped and watered down in a way a constitutional amendment can't. Most states in the nonpartisan Reproductive Freedom Alliance coalition now cover abortion through Medicaid—but Michigan shows how fast that coverage gets negotiable when the votes are tight.

    ‘Daily Show’ Co-Creator Talks ‘Anger Fluffing’ and Making Abortion Funny on Purpose

    In this episode of B*tch, Listen, Imani Gandy tests her theory that the best political humor doesn’t win arguments—but instead changes what people think deserves to be taken seriously in the first place—with Lizz Winstead, co-creator of The Daily Show and founder of Abortion Access Front. Winstead agrees with most of Gandy’s theory, but complicates it: Is the point of political comedy to build an audience, or to build a movement? And what happens to all that comedy-fueled outrage when it has nowhere left to go? Winstead has a name for that: anger fluffing. And she finds it pointless. Expert Repro Journalism That Inspires.

    (Classic) Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine

    In this classic episode part two of her series on true crime and disability, Imani Gandy interviews Dateline correspondent Josh Mankiewicz about true crime as a machine that decides whose stories get told—and whose don’t. From missing Black women, to missing and murdered Indigenous people, to the near invisibility of disabled victims, they talk about what true crime shows—and what it leaves out. Because attention itself is a form of power. (And yes, there’s a Bill Hader moment.)     Expert Repro Journalism That Inspires.

    (Classic) In Mercy's Shadow: The Mercy Narrative in True Crime

    True crime is everywhere—but crimes against disabled people are rarely treated as “true crime” at all. In this classic episode, Imani Gandy talks with disability justice advocate Vilissa Thompson about why disabled victims are erased from true crime, how ableism shapes which stories get told, and what ethical storytelling requires when disability is involved.

    Why Are We Taking These Conservative Freaks Seriously?

    In this solo episode of B*tch, Listen, Imani Gandy argues that the best political humor doesn’t just get laughs—it changes what people think deserves respect. From The Daily Show to Abortion Access Front’s campaign against Anthony Comstock to Tim Walz calling Republicans weird, Gandy explores how satire can strip bad-faith politics of the seriousness it never deserved. Because sometimes the point isn’t to win the argument. Sometimes the point is to ask why we were treating these freaks like serious people in the first place. Expert Repro Journalism That Inspires.

    (Classic) The Constitution: A Scam by Rich White Men, for Rich White Men

    The Constitution isn’t sacred—it’s a sham that pretends to be about equality but actually only benefits white men in power. In this classic episode, Imani Gandy talks with best-selling author Elie Mystal about why the Constitution has never worked for Black people, how the Supreme Court weaponizes it to strip people of their rights, and what it would look like to scrap it and start over.

    Elizabeth Booker Houston: Just a Bitch with a Phone and Thoughts About Abortion Rights

    In the last episode of B*tch, Listen, Imani Gandy laid out her theory that the reproductive rights movement made a critical mistake in running public health and legal strategies around abortion access on parallel tracks.  In this episode, Gandy talks through her theory with Elizabeth Booker Houston—a seasoned legal and public health expert, and educator. Booker Houston and Gandy break down how race played into that decision and why losing the Chevron deference standard was also the repro rights movement’s fault. Expert Repro Journalism That Inspires.
