    Finding Your Voice In Rooms That Want To Shut You Up
    Dec 24 2025
    Meet the lovely Alaina Shearer! Alaina launched a nationwide network for women in tech, founded a marketing agency, somehow raised kids while doing all this, and oh yeah ran for Congress that one time?? Along the way she learned to navigate and push back in male dominated fields — including as a radio host, and working for a Don Draper-level sexist stripped of anything that resembles charming. Officially the most grown-up adult we’ve ever interviewed, Alaina has wonderful insights to share as someone who gets it.

    Male Photographers Moaning at Models, Beauty Standard Bullshit, and ~*Just Girlie Things*~
    Dec 8 2025
    Corrin and Alison chat about the kind of experience teenage models are likely to have when shooting with older male photographers. SPOILER -- it goes kind of exactly how you expect! The conversation strays into other fun topics like: street harassment, pervy bosses, age inappropriate bfs, and shame-centric body standards. Yy..ayyy.

  • Episode 100! Interviewing the Lady that Sparked the Free Britney Movement!

    Episode 100! Interviewing the Lady that Sparked the Free Britney Movement!
    Oct 18 2025
    This week we talk to Babs Gray (ig: @babs_gray), whose podcast ignited the Free Britney movement! It was of course a team effort as thousands of people became motivated to help the pop princess find freedom. But Babs and her co-host Tess, with the help of a whistleblower close to the situation, took a risk in making this story public. Using their podcast platform for reach, Babs and Tess invested significant time, money, and energy - and IT WORKED.

    So tune in for a behind-the-scenes peak on how Free Britney finally Freed Britney.

    A new episode, a new episode, it’s a new episode yay! And it’s not even paywalled you lucky duck!

Instead, Alison the Pedant has a bone to pick with the evolution of this word and its meaning over the last 90-ish years. And just so she’ll finally stop bitching about it, Friend of the Pod Prabha joins the pod to talk it all out, explain it all out, and hopefully you enjoy it along the way.

  • 96: On Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    96: On Buffy the Vampire Slayer
    Aug 2 2025
    Featuring Joe of the “Boys Watching Buffy” podcast to answer all our deep dive questions! First we break down the overall plot and characters, then explore the ~feminist themes~ found in Sunnyvale. The damsel in distress trope is subverted. The Bechdel Test, consistently slayed. The patriarchy sits on a council wearing tweed. Buffy and Willow find their agency, Warren gets his orbs crushed, and wtf is wrong with Joss Whedon! If you’ve never seen Buffy, now you can hold your own in a conversation as if you had (basically). And if you love Buffy already, learn even more from someone who has done their damn homework!

  • 95: On Some Kind of Bitch and Matriarchal Musings

    95: On Some Kind of Bitch and Matriarchal Musings
    Jul 25 2025
    A rich conversation with filmmaker & poetess Effie Spence about feminine wisdom and the power of recentering matriarchal values. Effie shares her period-stained poetry ‘A Bloody Mess’ and docuseries ‘Motherland’, which follows her journey to ancestral roots to rediscover herself through the women who came before. We talk tarot, menarche malarkey, cycle syncing, and more. Includes a question for all about how to turn this sadgap.podcast into a practical community of care. (Bonus toward the end, and a big topic: what if the antithesis of patriarchy isn’t the smashing we’ve heard about, but something softer and more intimate instead.)
