    The Cool Mom

    The Cool Mom

    It's not like a regular podcast episode. It's a cool episode. Right, Regina? Andi Mitchell and Sabrina Kohlberg from Pop Culture Moms take us on a pop cultural tour of The Cool Mom, from Mean Girls to Euphoria, and her defining qualities on screen. But as we also learn from her disregard for boundaries, the Cool Mom isn't all trope and no substance. Highlights include: Munchausen by proxy, Peg Bundy, cool dads and whether The Cool Mom is just The Cool Girl with kids.

Cristen ragesplains how this anti-abortionist legal buffoonery happened, the fetal personhood of it all and why “save IVF” is a bait and switch.

    A Football League of Their Own

    A Football League of Their Own

    In 1974, what had started as a sexist gimmick became the first and only (so far) professional women's football league in US history. It wasn't a feminist stunt, either. Sports writer Frankie de la Cretaz tells us the incredible - and incredibly queer - story of the National Women's Football League, the hundreds of women who played and how it changed their lives. Highlights include: breast padding, "Harlem Globetrotters with rip-away skirts," Dallas lesbian bars and your new favorite Linda.
    Frankie is the co-author of Hail Mary: The Rise and Fall of the National Women's Football League.

    Is new Jezebel doomed to flop?

    Is new Jezebel doomed to flop?

    The feminist blogosphere era officially ended last November when Jezebel, website and water cooler of millennial feminism, was shut down by its media overlords. But even though Jezebel was swiftly put on life support by Paste magazine, its long-term survival remains unclear partly due to the same, old "business problems" of feminist media. First, senior lecturer Melanie Waters shares what happened 50 years ago when Ms. magazine launched with a million-dollar investment but never turned a profit. Then, New York Times reporter Emma Goldberg explains how the feminist blogosphere's success help put it out of business and how Gen Z feminists are navigating today's fractured feminist internet.

    Small Dick Energy

    Small Dick Energy

    Why is penis size and performance the go-to butt of the joke, especially when we're talking about shitty men? Is it punching up at misogyny, or just recycling bad material? Writer Mikala Jameson (Body Type) introduces America's Small Dick Joke Problem, interrogates the instinct to hit misogyny where it hurts and recalls an infamous "hot dog down a hallway." Then, Robin Taylor, Your Trans Friend You Didn't Know You Needed, takes us deeper into the simultaneous objectification and erasure wrapped up in their punchlines. Highlights include Ben Shap***, gym bros, Sydney Sweeney's flop romcom, truck nuts, everyday transphobia and the "normal" trap.

LOVE IT

I have a request for advice: my mom is someone who believes in not letting anyone monopolize your body and dress codes are stupid… but today I wear a crop top to school and suddenly it was unacceptable. Advice? how do I make her say that she’s being hypocritical? - Charlie

Female Empowerment!

I LOVE LOVE this podcast- one of the few that I can listen to each and every episode. So well thought out, great dialogue, and super educational. Please keep this going!

One-sided at times

Usually I like the podcast, but I have noticed that some of the episodes are one sided. For example, the life coach episode. It does tell one side of the coaching industry and its pitfalls. It doesn’t talk about the side where people are certified through ICF (for example) over a 9-12 month period with classes every week. Where they need 100 hrs of coaching for the first level of certification. Where they are told the difference btwn therapy and coaching, and that any signs of needing therapy should require the coach to refer client to a therapist.
