Latest Episodes:

1:30 Bad Robots Jun 09, 2018

Show notes

So many questions about Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Does she owe the sisterhood any help? How does her sex impact our perception of her character? And where does she feel things? PLUS, Jordan "Incel-Daddy" Peterson is the Obe-Wan of baby-men… but should we be calling him "dangerous"?

1:29 The Thin White Line Jun 01, 2018

Show notes

Katie and Ronit's blood rushes from their brains to their fists as they take down folksy racists like Roseanne, Jeff Sessions, and the NFL. Plus, Ireland quenches our thirst for good news and Malian superhero Mamoudou Gassama gets French citizenship as a reward, which makes us wonder "What makes a good immigrant?"

1:28 Can We Come Back Yet? May 26, 2018

Show notes

Katie and Ronit celebrate Georgia's Stacey Abrams, the first ever black woman to win a nomination for governor! And McDonalds and Walmart get their minimum wage arses handed to them by #TimesUp and Fight for $15. And our very first Dirtbag check-in: Where are they Now? Featuring Louis CK and R Kelly.

Advice to everyone: unless they're specifically requested, put those penises away!

1:27 Choose the Future? May 17, 2018

Show notes

So many chances to choose the future instead of the past lately… we're throwing a benefit, should we pick Bill Clinton or Monica Lewinsky? Georgina Chapman is alive, should we punish her for her past or let her get on with her life? Kristen Stewart is walking into the future barefoot because she is not here for old-ass dress codes at Cannes, and in the Lena showdown we are Team Waithe (#FutureLena), not Dunham (#PastLena).

Um, and it's Laurel.

1:26 We Need a Hero May 11, 2018

Show notes

New York AG Eric Schneiderman was a progressive superhero… until an explosive New Yorker article outed him as a serial violent abuser. We pull apart what this means for progressive politics & whether Schneiderman's exit is evidence of Democratic doom… or a union struggling to evolve.

PLUS, a new hero emerges in Stella Nyanzi, a Ugandan activist and bona fide X-Woman, and we talk about This Is America and how we can engage with black art while staying in our nice white lady lane.

YOU MUST FOLLOW Dr. Stella Nyanzi on Twitter: @drstellanyanzi

1:25 Kanye West & the Other C-Word May 04, 2018

Show notes

Adana Protonentis returns to the podcast to continue the conversation about racism and mental health.

We owe you all an apology about the Kanye disaster. This is all on us. He was like, "Nice discussion of the intersection of racism and ableism last week, guys. But it wasn't as topical as it could have been. Here, hold my beer."

Ronit, Katie, and Adana discuss Kanye's recent "free thinking," alternatives to calling things crazy, bananas, or nuts, and why on Earth Charlie Rose really can't keep it in his pants.

It's Gonna Be MAY May 01, 2018

Show notes

In a very special May Day episode, Ronit and Katie review the new Amy Schumer movie, "I Feel Pretty" and wonder what makes a great first lady. PLUS, after K&R talk about incels (aka Angry White Men), they self-medicate by imagining being cradled in The Rock's arms. JOIN THEM. He'll make you feel so safe...

1:24 #TimesUp Bill Cosby, #TimesUp Ablesim Apr 28, 2018

Katie and Ronit welcome Adana Protonentis to dish on Cosby, the Loving Generation, Black Girl Magic, and why social justice can't be achieved by baby steps. #ThatIshIsHolisticYall

1:23 COME ON, STARBUCKS Apr 20, 2018

Show notes

Sometimes it feels like racism and double standards are everywhere. Oh wait, they are! On this episode of Mouthy/Messy/Mandatory Katie and Ronit talk Starbuck's not-terrible apology, how real change will take more than a one-day workshop, (Tammie Jo Shults and her nerves of steel), and why football players apparently can't be trusted around women.
