This season, we’ve featured some of the many incredible women doing the work of protecting women in a hostile world. For our final episode of the season, we’re spotlighting one of our own: our fearless host and leader, Christian F. Nunes. Though her tenure as NOW National President is drawing to a close, her advocacy is far from over. In this episode, Christian and senior producer Bethany Brookshire sit down together to reflect on four seasons of this podcast, its many insightful guests, and what the future of feminist solidarity really looks like in the face of mounting anti-feminist backlash. We’re all in need of a little extra feminist inspiration right now, so why not check out some of our past episodes? We’ve linked the ones mentioned in today’s episode below, but be sure to check out all four seasons of Feminism NOW and get inspired by the incredible voices we’ve featured. Links: https://www.christianfnunes.com/ Links to previous episodes:Violence Against Black Women (with Dr. Brittany Lewis): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/violence-against-black-women-a-conversation-with/id1709383622?i=1000631747963Finding Missing Women (with Rep.

Now and Men Sandy Ruxton & Stephen Burrell What role can men play in achieving gender equality? Why is feminism good for men?How are rigid ideas about masculinity holding back our lives—and how are people around the world challenging them?These are the questions at the heart of Now and Men, a podcast hosted by social researchers Dr Stephen Burrell (Lecturer at the University of Melbourne, Australia) and Sandy Ruxton (Independent Researcher and Honorary Fellow at Durham University, UK).We explore masculinity and change in the lives of men and boys today, diving into issues such as gender-based violence, fatherhood, men’s health, politics and the environment. Grounded in feminist thinking, our conversations connect big ideas to everyday experiences—showing how gender shapes all of us, and how men can be part of building a more equal world.At a time when regressive versions of masculinity are resurging—amplified by political leaders, online influencers, even podcasters—we spotlight the people pushing back.

The Shift with Sam Baker sam baker The Shift is a podcast that aims to tell the truth about being a woman post-40, created and hosted by writer and broadcaster, Sam Baker. Did you ever wonder why you stop hearing so many women's voices once they pass 40? That's where The Shift comes in - a frank, funny, sometimes heartbreaking, always honest look at what it means to be a woman in midlife and beyond. Work, life, love, health, sex, money, identity, body image... What does it all mean when everything around you (and inside you...) is changing? Each week, award-winning author and journalist Sam Baker asks a different woman how she got here, where she's going - and how it feels to be where she is right now. Expect intimate conversation, big laughs, occasional tears and an awful lot of ripping up the rule book and stamping on it...
