Episodes

  1. Returning to podcasting

    I've been away, and the distance has made me miss discourse so much more. Here’s to a new season of my life, online

  2. The issue with Resource distribution - French, Learning Disability, God, Poverty, Communism

    Season 3, Episode 1: Somehow me thinking about why I love learning French when I’ve historically hated language learning leads me to discussing ADA, unfair resource distribution in South Africa, why God is not at fault for poverty and the shortcomings of communism as an alternative to capitalism....

  3. Alton Mason needs to be immortalized artistically

    Season 3, Episode 10 He is simultaneously regal, angelic, masculine and a gender fusion. He was perhaps designed to be painted.

  6. I dislike Arizona Robbin and I’m taking a break

    Fictional character from Grey’s Anatomy plus quick explanation on break. This doesn’t count as a full episode.

  7. Amazon Prime Video’s Swarm: No more sympathy for murders?

    Season 3 Episode 4: Had to just release my thoughts on the show. It’s brilliant, not what I was expecting and it got me thinking. Something I didn’t say but I was on the edge of describing is the ways in which misogynoir may make the audience stop sympathizing and start stereotyping and that...

  12. A Convoluted Spiel on Feminism - Dec 26,2022

    Season 2 Episode 33 - Season Finale that I forgot to release, or was unable to, or scared to, but will now be doing so anyways (without relistening). Partially to archive a moment in my life and partially so that the episode that I record after this can be compared and contrasted with my previous...

  13. Murder For Feminism: The Woman King Spoiler-Free Review

    Season 2 Episode 32 This is a topic I am still thinking about the nuts and bolts. To be clear, fictional murder, aka death as a significant storytelling tool and violence as a symbolic device in fiction, is what intrigues me, more so because of the project I am working on but also in general.…

    more

  14. Evangelical Christianity: It's role in Modern Conservatism and the Fears that push the movement

    Season 2, Episode 31: As a current Christian, I chose to refer to God as the Christian God in order to respect other people's beliefs.

  17. What I wish I saw in WLW media as a MLM and WLW fan - a spontaneous recording on Nov 1st 2022.

    I recorded this a while back and then just didn't post it. It was when I first arrived back in my dorm from covid isolation so the First of November 2022 (Nov 1). Fun Fact about me: sometimes I can't decide how I want to write out the date so in my diary, it will be written out in multiple ways…

  18. Bodies Bodies Bodies, Scream and the fears of relating across generations

    Season 2, Episode 27: This one is a little disorganized and a little personal. I am mostly thinking through things in the movement.

  23. Why Modern Day Feminism is Useless - An Ongoing Discussion

    S2 E22 Please note: Policing language should not be a cause to invalidate the point. The creator's main point is facts. Modern Day White feminism is ineffective because of choice feminism and undedicated united feminist action. Depp vs Heard should have sparked more feminist outrage. Shein and...

  24. Queen Elizabeth is Dead but Racial Capitilism is Not

    Season 2 Episode 21: Hey Everyone! First Episode in America! I promise that in my next episode I will do less repetition of what I have already said in class.

  30. Depp vs Heard: Misogyny is Okay Again - The consequences of this trial and society’s lack of priorities

    Episode 15 of Season 2. This trial served as a precursor to the Overturning of Roe v Wade. It's scary seeing how quickly we abandon women and work to protect male abusers. Scary but not surprising. Go listen to The Lavender Menace's "defending Amber heard against the insane Johnny Depp fans"...

    For perhaps my most extended episode yet, I talk about nightmares, the horror genre, not taking opportunities and my (concerning??? anti-capitalist???) relationship with resting. Then how annoying it is when people peer pressure you into drinking and how to respond using clips from Shallon…

    more

  34. Young Royal and Roe vs Wade

    E11: I review the Netflix Show Young Royals and rant about Roe v Wade. A point I didn't add but just remembered: Conservative people understand that the right to bodily autonomy supersedes other people's right to life when it comes down to masks, yet not when it comes down to abortion. Yet the...

  35. Heartstopper has captured my heart

    Ep 10: WATCH HEARTSTOPPER NOW. I rant about how good it is and how it's my new comfort show while sharing all my thoughts and knowledge on the cast, the writer of comic book and webcomic series (who also worked closely on adapting it) and how more positive queer rep is need.

  36. Homosexuality is Natural, The Nature of Love and Comphet - A Lesbian perspective

    Season 2, Episode 9 The title describes everything discussed. Additional explanation on the white boy of the month discussion may also be influenced by my internalised white supremacy.

  38. 56 minutes and 56 seconds of me just babbling

    A tiny bit about Ukraine, a third about Will Smith slapping and a quarter about my girlfriend.

I also hope to diversify my content with interviews, discussions on gender, media analysis,...

  39. Ukraine, War and Racism in Media - P.S Fear and Concern does NOT justify your Bigotry

    Trigger warning: Racism (It's pretty overt this time and video clips and messages are often repeated). Drink your favourite liquid, mine is Rooibos tea, it calms me and listen to me partially rant, partially dissect/analyse and partially provide a history lesson. Honestly, I think the repetition…

  46. Dear Homophobes: Corrective Rape Actually Makes No Sense

    I had a lot of thoughts in my brain lately on this topic, here is my attempt to give voice to them.

  47. FW De Klerk has died, and honestly I had no idea he was still alive

    FW De Klerk has died, and as a black South African I feel... conflicted. His legacy is a controversial one. He is often sanctified and idolised but hardly held accountable for the war crimes he committed. Is it fair to expect people of colour in South Africa to "sing kumbaya now" and forget about...
