Homebrewed Feminism

It's our season finale! We would like to thank all of our listeners for supporting us through another season. This episode is dedicated to you. We're having some fun with this topic: women and swearing. There seems to be a lot of shame directed at women when they swear. Let's break this down. Join us as we feature the Vocal Fries Podcast and drink delicious craft beer from Beavertown Brewery. For show notes and a full list of references, please visit our website.

THE PENULTIMATE EPISODE or if you're basic like Amanda the second to last episode of Season 2 is here! We're drinking some delicious beer from Brew York and Harviestoun. We get some life updates from Amanda & Becki, but most importantly for the first time on Homebrewed Feminism, we have an episode specifically to help the White People. Even if you are the most Anti-racist of the Anti-racists you probably have some blind spots. If you're thinking "I could definitely be doing more with my Anti-racism" then you're like us! Featuring the Facing Ourselves Podcast this week we learn what kinds of racism there are so we can start identifying it and doing the work. There are some awesome recommendations at the end of this one so don't miss it! For show notes and a full list of references, please visit our website.

This week, join Amanda and Becki as they circle back to masculinity. Toxic masculinity is popular in the media and mainstream feminism, however, it's time to consider 'mindful masculinity' and what that means.

Episode 3 is here and we are not playing around this time. We're discussing the recent anti-trans bills hitting US state legislatures.

For our first episode back we are going straight for the beer industry. Join Amanda and Becki as they discuss the recent Me Too Movement currently rocking craft beer and hear some fun recommendations at the end.

Join Amanda and Becki as they speak with the one and (soon to be famous) Harris Eddie Hill. Harris was nice enough to have us on their podcast back at the beginning of 2021 so here's us hosting Harris. Harris is a 30-something-year-old non-binary person from Hertfordshire, UK. Harris realised they were trans/nonbinary in their mid-twenties and have since made the commitment to becoming the advocate they needed, but never had. Harris is the advocate we all needed and never had. We discuss emotional intelligence, listen to a clip from Harris' own podcast Transection Podcast and we really hate on some FARTs. Join us to stay open and keep learning!

Join Amanda and Becki as they speak with the R&D Brewer for Bellfield Brewery Sally MacGarry. Sally was kind enough to come on the pod and chat about their fantastic efforts for International Women's Day. We had such a great time talking beer, feminism and their Rational Creatures IPA. This IPA was made by the women of Bellfield for Intentional Women's Day and it is perfection. The best beer to kick off the winter porters and bring on the summer sun.

This week is our Season 1 finale. I know, we cannot believe it either. After throwing back to their first love Hamilton, Amanda and Becki discuss Women and Government. Specifically, women running (or standing) for office. They'll talk about the violence women deal with to represent their constituency (or district) and how that should not be a deterrent. Also, we hear a Member of the Scottish Parliament's experience in this, Kate Forbes MSP is fantastic. To run for office you need to be an advocate for your constituency (or district). So for this week's Brewery of the week, we chose Vault City Brewing and Alchemy Brewing because when we were searching for our Woman Brewers these all men brewing teams pointed us in a direction away from them. Our final Thank a Feminist of Season 1 is no other than The Squad; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib. For the last time this season, let's dig in and learn!
