15 Rocking the Boat on the JoCo Cruise with Special Guest Wil Wheaton!

Welcome to our very first live episode of Feminist Frequency Radio! Recorded at sea aboard the JoCo Cruise, this episode finds Anita and Femfreq friend and board member Felix Kramer in conversation with actor and writer Wil Wheaton! The conversation reaches far and wide, with talk of Wolfenstein II, our shifting relationship to sci-fi in our increasingly dystopian present, confronting your privilege and being an effective ally, exploring ancient Egypt with the help of Assassin’s Creed Origins’ Discovery Tour mode, and much more. So take your Dramamine and hop aboard, we’ve got so much fun stuff to talk about!
