    Ageism vs The Gerontocracy | Semi-Woke #21

    Pranav and Sheria talk about whether it's ageist and ableist to make fun of Dianne Feinstein, Mitch McConnell, Joe Biden, and the other elderly oligarchs who control our lives while the skin melts off their bones. We also cancel Ice Spice for having a child twerk in her video and Sheria spreads misinformation about this week's Problematic Fave, Carlee Russell.

    Is Barbie woke enough? | Semi-Woke #20

    Pranav and Sheria saw the Barbie movie and they can't stop talking about it. Is it woke enough to warrant all this discourse? Is Greta Gerwig this generation's Valerie Solanas? Or is it yassified Wayne's World? Also, where was Theresa? Barbie movie spoilers abound for the three people who haven't seen it.

    Insecure men and toxic vulnerability | Semi-Woke #18

    Pranav and Sheria talk about the spate of insecure men being exposed or exposing themselves all over the internet, in particular Jonah Hill, Keke Palmer's baby daddy, Lightskin Keisha's fiance, and Chloe Bailey's Z-list twitch streamer/ failed rapper boyfriend. Are these men controlling or are they setting boundaries and being vulnerable? Does society groom women to accept control and abuse in exchange for male companionship? What does Keke Palmer's baby daddy actually do? We find the answers to these questions and read a listener's Problematic Fave. DM the Semi-Woke Instagram and maybe we'll read yours on the show.
