What's a wasteman? In this podcast, we explore 'wastemanism' and what it means to different people through honest conversation. Gender norms, toxic masculinity and patriarchal structures are a thread throughout the episodes. You can expect honest stories, personal anecdotes, entertainment but also food for reflective thought.

    This week, Angie and I discuss my thesis about how women perceive the male-dominated porn industry and what positive and negative influences it has on society. We also try to make sense out of the taboo around female porn consumption, the double standard around sex and why the billion-dollar sex industry is so heavily judged by the people that are the reason it actually exists. As I spent a year of studying on this topic, this episode is especially close to my heart! If you want to read my thesis on the female perception of porn in a patriarchal society, hit me up on Instagram @letterstowastemen!
