Bad B!tch Segment is a biweekly podcast where the hosts, Courtney and Kate, discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of history and pop culture’s Baddest B!tches with some leftist politics and current events thrown into the mix! What does that entail exactly? We cover subjects of all genders and demographics in all the shades of good, bad, and horrible. Tune in for stories of fame, infamy, activism, and rebellion; but if you think politics are “rude to talk about at the table,” then this podcast isn’t for you.

    Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Kittens

    Summer is coming to a close and with that comes a LOT of bitchery (if you’re not into cats skip the first… 10 minutes of the intro?). This week’s episode your hosts discuss the most recent addition to the Bad Bitch production team, cats, the TikTok rabbit hole of Kendra, the border wall being painted black (yet again), and finally - what it actually means when we are celebrating Labor Day! Workers fought for their rights with their blood, sweat, and tears since before the inception of this nation. You’ll hear brief overviews of the The Great Railroad Strike of 1877 and the Chicago Teamsters Strike of 1905, the Auto-Lite Strike of 1934, and the Flint sit down Strike of 1936. #feminist #podcast #union #unionstrong #resist #feministAF #protest #unite #laborday #strike #catlady Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/badbitchsegment The Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://sites.google.com/view/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork/home?fbclid=PAY2xjawIpurNleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABpnP0kkIbYCuc9m8IGqujv7kcIjEUwhs6BwgRV206Rp9AWlP2f-xwWj-iDA_aem_QRVQf4lc-xDjAe1IBJdHHg Podcast Art by: ⁠ https://lapromotionaldesign.photography/l-a-promotional-design-photography-1 https://www.instagram.com/miraya_lou?igsh=MWl0amx6cnM5YWx0dg== Music by: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Q3fDuVVQh3Bn8SVcIdqKw?si=qzdXrUoCRIanvApL6ctp0w Advocacy: Gaza Family Links https://www.codepink.org/ https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/ https://www.endthebacklog.org/ https://www.plannedparenthood.org/get-care https://www.aclu.org/ https://www.whatcanido.earth/ https://helpingpaws.org/ Episode Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day https://cwa-union.org/trumps-anti-worker-record https://www.nps.gov/subjects/womenshistory/women-in-the-labor-movement.htm https://www.jurist.org/commentary/2025/03/from-auto-lite-to-usadf-labor-resistance-tactics-for-todays-federal-workers/ https://historycollection.com/10-intense-historical-labor-demonstrations-whose-violent-turns-shocked-world/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D43Fpp7xRUk

    Compton's Cafeteria Riot

    Happy Pride! At this point we all know the story of Stonewall, but if you haven’t heard it please head to our episode! This Pride month we wanted to discuss another earlier riot, in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District one hot summer night in 1966. It was there the gays, theys, Queens, Dolls, and gender non-conforming people would gather to catch up and grab a cup of coffee after working on the streets or clubs of San Francisco. One night after years of harassment from the corrupt and thuggish police force once cup of coffee sparked a riot that finally gave them the freedom to be who they were in the now historic district of San Francisco. #podcast #sanfrancisco #transrights #tenderloindistrict #california #protectthedolls #feminist #feministAF #feminism #intersectionality #LGBTQIA+ #compton #resist #ACAB Episode Sources: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G-WASW9dRBU https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/jun/21/stonewall-san-francisco-riot-tenderloin-neighborhood-trans-women https://www.lapl.org/collections-resources/blogs/lapl/comptons-cafeteria-riot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenderloin,_San_Francisco Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/badbitchsegment The Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://sites.google.com/view/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork/home?fbclid=PAY2xjawIpurNleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABpnP0kkIbYCuc9m8IGqujv7kcIjEUwhs6BwgRV206Rp9AWlP2f-xwWj-iDA_aem_QRVQf4lc-xDjAe1IBJdHHg Podcast Art by: ⁠ https://lapromotionaldesign.photography/l-a-promotional-design-photography-1 https://www.instagram.com/miraya_lou?igsh=MWl0amx6cnM5YWx0dg== Music by: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Q3fDuVVQh3Bn8SVcIdqKw?si=qzdXrUoCRIanvApL6ctp0w Advocacy: Gaza Family Links https://www.codepink.org/ https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/ https://www.endthebacklog.org/ https://www.plannedparenthood.org/get-care https://www.aclu.org/ https://www.whatcanido.earth/

    The First Woman to Scale Mount Everest: Junko Tabei

    Episode 62 is dedicated to Mother Earth, we think the topic of this episode would like that. At 4’9” Junko Tabei, like many Japanese children in the 1940’s, was labeled frail as a child. But a fateful class trip as a ten-year-old girl to the mountains of Japan ignited a love for the mountainous landscapes. Junko faced set-backs and opposition when she devoted more time to mountaineering after college but she decided instead to be a woman of many firsts. She began the first mountaineering club for women in Japan, and soon found herself seeking the highest climbs, and like many mountaineers, Everest called to her. Junko Tabei would become the first woman to completely scale the summit of Everest, but the climb didn’t come easy. #podcast #Japan #MountEverest #JunkoTabei #mountaineering #Alpine #girlpower #feminism #feministAF #history #popculture #commentary #politics #rockclimbing #survival Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/badbitchsegment The Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://sites.google.com/view/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork/home?fbclid=PAY2xjawIpurNleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABpnP0kkIbYCuc9m8IGqujv7kcIjEUwhs6BwgRV206Rp9AWlP2f-xwWj-iDA_aem_QRVQf4lc-xDjAe1IBJdHHg Podcast Art by: ⁠ https://lapromotionaldesign.photography/l-a-promotional-design-photography-1 https://www.instagram.com/miraya_lou?igsh=MWl0amx6cnM5YWx0dg== Music by: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Q3fDuVVQh3Bn8SVcIdqKw?si=qzdXrUoCRIanvApL6ctp0w Advocacy: Gaza Family Links https://www.codepink.org/ https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/ https://www.endthebacklog.org/ https://www.plannedparenthood.org/get-care https://www.aclu.org/ https://www.whatcanido.earth/ Episode Sources: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/10/22/498971169/japanese-climber-junko-tabei-first-woman-to-conquer-mount-everest-dies-at-77 https://web.archive.org/web/20131007044949/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1008036/1/index.htm https://www.outsideonline.com/2131091/obituary-junko-tabei-first-woman-summit-everest
