The Thing About That: A Modern Woman's Guide to Getting Married

I feel like I’ve been invited into a conversation with friends I’ve known for a long time, and it is obvious that these ladies care for and respect each other. I am older than our hosts, but count myself among their same generation- one of women actively breaking the cycle of society’s teachings that we should not ask for what we want nor should we take up space. Those changes start at the individual level by honoring what is right for us regardless of how it may misalign with someone else. Ladies, I wish you everything that makes you happy, and I hope you’ll keeping taking us along for the ride!

This podcast has brought moments of joy into my life. I have listened to and loved all the episodes! One of my faves was the surname one bc even though I am nowhere near marriage, I love imagining that decision and what it means on a personal, political and beaurocraric level. Additionally, I hope that the hosts will consider acknowledging more that they are simply three cis white, millennial, financially secure women in the UK and there are a lot of radical ways to be modern in the world. This is said with love from a young feminist who shares most of those identities but who is surrounded by people who don’t and don’t have the privileges that come with them. And the depth of meaningfulness by having ppl with a platform (no matter the size) even recognize their privilege means a lot to me and shows real intention. So I hope that they even incorporate it even more into the podcast in the future or even consider having guests who are intersectional feminists, queer folx, immigrants, BIPOC or differently abled to also weight in on these wonderful topics. I hope that the hosts genuinely hear these comments as loving suggestions and not criticism. Love the show! Can’t wait for the next ep! -a 19 year old, sincere, femenist witch

Insightful conversations about the roles proposals, engagements, weddings and marriage have to play in modern society, from a trio of hilariously self-deprecating and charming ladies. Absolutely loved it!
