    Ivy Insights

    The No Worries If Not podcast is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon after following Lilly O'Farrell's Instagram account, Vulga Drawings, for years. This podcast truly exceeded my expectations as it presented high quality content in an interesting and easy-to-listen-to format. Lilly fearlessly tackles messy and controversial topics that many people avoid, providing a refreshing perspective on these issues through her playful comics. Throughout the episodes, she brings in guests from diverse backgrounds and ensures that the discussions are well-informed by utilizing information from reliable sources. What sets this podcast apart is Lilly's ability to maintain a balanced approach even when discussing sensitive topics such as masculinity, never veering into man-hating territory.

    One of the best aspects of The No Worries If Not podcast is Lilly O'Farrell's considerate and optimistic interviewing style. Despite addressing serious and often disheartening subjects, she manages to infuse each episode with hope and provides listeners with valuable insights on how to navigate a world shaped by misogyny and toxic masculinity. The interviews are crafted with thoughtfulness and optimism, which leaves you feeling empowered rather than drained. Additionally, the unique format of the podcast adds to its appeal. By editing in snippets of interviews rather than presenting long, drawn-out conversations, Lilly keeps the material engaging and informative without sacrificing entertainment value.

    While I thoroughly enjoyed listening to The No Worries If Not podcast, there are no significant negatives that come to mind. However, if I were to nitpick, it would be that waiting for new episodes can sometimes be a bit difficult due to the podcast's release schedule. Nevertheless, considering the effort put into crafting each episode and the quality of content provided, it is well worth the wait.

    In conclusion, The No Worries If Not podcast could not have come at a better time for me personally. It served as a much-needed antidote to the negative spiral caused by exploring misogynistic content for a project. Lilly O'Farrell's ability to present well-researched and well-rounded discussions on pressing issues is commendable. If you are looking to learn more about how masculinity and misogyny shape the world around us and desire actionable solutions, this podcast is an absolute must-listen. Prepare to be educated, entertained, and inspired by Lilly's thoughtful approach to these important topics.
