For the UK: An Army of Lovers Dec 13, 2019

Show notes

I'm back! And I'm sending love to everyone facing the horrible election results in the UK, in the form of a rerun of the episode I ran right after Trump was elected. It's about why pleasure isn't optional, even in these worst of times - it's a key ingredient in both our humanity and our political resistance. Let historian Hanne Blank explain as she talks with Jaclyn about what she learned during the 80s AIDS crisis, the importance of marshmallows when the world is on fire, and why an old slogan from a 1960s French Art movement should be our mantra right now. (Rewind)

The Feeling of Safety Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

Sex! Danger! Rebellion! Underground lairs! It's all there and so much more in Safe Sex, the new comic book series from Unscrewed fave Tina Horn. What makes us feel safe, and how does it differ from what actually makes us safer? Why is bureaucracy a disproportionate tax on the poor? What are high heels good for? Go behind the scenes as Jaclyn and Tina get into it.

All Roads Lead to the Rapist Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

It's Part 2 of our live show at the PRX Podcast Garage! If you haven't listened to Part 1, go do that first: it's called When You Share Your Pain. This second half features filmmaker Nancy Schwartzman (Roll Red Roll) talking about why she turns her camera on rapists to pierce rape culture, and a great audience Q&A about how to sustain yourself while doing anti-rape work. Bonus: Jaclyn's been sick, so enjoy her extra-gravely voice in the intro and outro.
