Kiki interviews Charlie, a woman with over 20 years in the gaming industry, about the overlap between gaming and heavy metal communities and the underrepresentation of women in these spaces. Charlie shares her background transitioning from music journalism to roles in gaming localization, art, academia, and business development. Her passion for music fueled her diverse career path. They discuss the importance of women supporting each other rather than competing, and Charlie's experiences as a young, "cheeky" music journalist trying to access bands she loved. Charlie's research now focuses on using games to preserve cultural heritage, languages, and traditions in an engaging way. They emphasize the importance of preserving endangered languages and cultures. 00:07:13 - Preserving Cultural Heritage Through Game Design 00:12:04 - Losing Indigenous Languages: A Personal Perspective 00:25:55 - Overcoming Toxicity in Gaming Communities 00:30:13 - Overcoming Sexism in Gaming Through Empathy and Inclusivity 00:38:34 - The Diversity and Agility of the Indie Game Space 00:44:33 - Breaking Down Barriers in the Game Industry Recorded on September 19th, 2024.

Pia and Kiki discuss the historical use of provocative symbols in heavy metal, such as the upside-down cross and pentagram, as a means for bands to rebel against the mainstream. They acknowledge that while this tactic was effective in the past, it has become less shocking in today's desensitized society, where even tragic events like school shootings elicit less shock. The hosts also touch on the rise of right-wing extremism and the use of symbols to express those views, noting that art should aim to support the underprivileged rather than kick those below. 00:00:00 - The Evolving Role of Symbols in Heavy Metal 00:08:59 - Amplifying Marginalized Voices Through Conscious Consumerism 00:12:52 - Reclaiming Pagan Symbolism from Discrimination 00:16:44 - Misuse of Symbols and Holidays 00:18:24 - Balancing Artistic Expression and Social Impact 00:20:35 - Consent and Representation in Music Imagery 00:28:02 - The Impact of Symbols on Survivors of Sexual Abuse 00:31:44 - Reflecting on Festival Experiences and Sensitive Symbolism Recorded on September 5th, 2024.

Kiki and Pia delve into the intricate topic of motherhood through a feminist lens, particularly within the metal community. This episode offers a rich discussion on societal expectations, personal choices, and the evolving definitions of family and parenting. Kiki, who identifies as childfree by choice, and Pia, a mother of two, provide contrasting yet complementary perspectives that shed light on the complexities of motherhood. Both Kiki and Pia discuss how societal norms often dictate that women should aspire to become mothers. Kiki recalls being frequently asked about her future plans for children, while Pia shares her own experiences of being questioned about her desire to have children. They agree on the necessity of challenging these societal narratives and recognizing that happiness and fulfillment can exist outside of motherhood.

Racism is a topic we talk about a lot on this podcast - and it has a lot in common with misogyny. We discuss this while talking about the BABYMETAL collaboration with ELECTRIC CALLBOY. After that, we have an experiment: Since we asked ourselves how men see feminism and misogyny, we tried to get as close as possible by interviewing our only white team member Pia about racism. Turns out: Yes, there are struggles, but also a lot you can do and be vocal about as an unconcerned person. Before we dive into the topic, Suzana updates about the recent flood in Brazil. 02:16 flood in Brazil 08:42 Babymetal and Electric Callboy 18:33 racism Recorded on May 22nd, 2024.
