"Girls go out and have your fun, then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it." What does it mean to view Taylor Swift's music through a feminist lens? On this week's show and tell episode, we look at three songs from the lens of Feminist Theory—"Mean," "Nothing New," and "Mirrorball"—to examine how they critique patriarchal expectations, the limitations placed on women, and the struggle for self-definition. From the societal obsession with youth and likability to the emotional labor of constantly adjusting to fit in, this discussion unpacks the deeper layers of feminist literary criticism embedded in Swift's songwriting.

We sat down with the brilliant and hilarious Catherine Reitman, the mastermind behind the massive hit series "Workin' Moms." Catherine opened up about her journey from acting to becoming a writer, director, and showrunner, and how her real-life experiences as a working mom inspired the show's raw, hilarious, and often emotional stories. We talked about the challenges of balancing motherhood with a demanding career and how she weaves that authenticity into her writing. Catherine also shared some behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the set, the importance of representing complex, even "unlikable" women on screen, the power of an all-female writer's room, and reflecting on coming from a family of talented filmmakers. It was an honest, insightful, and empowering conversation that working moms–and anyone juggling multiple roles–will relate to deeply. Learn more about your ad choices.

This time out, you're listening to the BookXXChange podcast... get it? We're focused on characters bearing the XX chromosome in Episode 63, wherein Jude and John choose their most memorable FEMALE characters in fiction. It's quite a diverse list as we cover everything from literary classics to Westerns, fantasy epics, immigrant stories, and even strange Japanese tales in which women fall in love with actual brick-and-mortar stores (yes, you read that right). Some of these characters are beloved around the world, others much less known... but all have something fascinating to teach about that common pursuit we all share: being human. Hope you enjoy listening to this unique discussion even half as much as we enjoyed having it!

It's the end of an era! To celebrate, the girls are joined by representatives from the Pod Squad to discuss the truly epic highs and lows - this episode we're covering our favourite female characters of the era (top five beatdown style) You can find KJ on Supernatural Opinions, Beth on Raising Perdition, and both Beth & Sarah on Raising Winchesters Find Driver Picks The Podcast   and Thief Steals The Podcast

Buckle up for a roller-coaster ride as we embark on an excavation of the latest Indiana Jones adventure – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. With a treasure map in one hand and a sense of humor in the other, we scrutinize the controversy surrounding the digital de-aging of Harrison Ford, marvel at the plot twists, and contemplate the wisdom of the movie's third act.  But we're not stopping there! We're burrowing deeper into the franchise's cinematic labyrinth, revisiting previous installments like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, while posing some uncomfortable questions about the Hollywood system and its impact on film production. And of course, no Indiana Jones review would be complete without addressing the perennial villains of the franchise - the Nazis.

On this episode of Complicated Conversations, we welcome Anna Bogutskaya to discuss her non-fiction debut, UNLIKEABLE FEMALE CHARACTERS: The Women Pop Culture Wants You To Hate. The book traces the evolution of highly memorable female characters, examining what exactly makes them popular, how audiences have reacted to them, and the ways in which pop culture is finally allowing us to celebrate the complexities of being a woman. Sounds right up our alley here at PFW! We chat with Anna about our shared mission of examining women as three-dimensional, fully-fledged human beings and discuss some of our favorite, ie most relatable, of the “unlikeable” female archetypes: the bitch, the angry woman, the trainwreck, and the shrew. We discuss some fan favorite characters like Shiv Roy, Fleabag, Skyler White and Amy Dunne! Unlikeable Female Characters is out now! Buy it, read it, share it, and listen to our fascinating discussion wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From K-pop superhits to Netflix shows and Oscar-winning films, South Korea has established itself as a global cultural powerhouse. “Squid Game,” “The Glory,” “Parasite” and BTS are only some of the names that make K-culture a multibillion dollar industry, with fans in the hundreds of millions. But how did the so-called Korean wave come to be, and what does it tell us about the small country's changing role on the world stage? Asia Matters' Andrew Peaple takes a close look at the phenomenon with his guests, Rosalie Kim at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and Ramon Pacheco Pardo from the Center for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy at the Brussels School of Governance.

We're (finally) finishing with Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae and all I can say is: I'm sorry. Please stay tuned for Friday's conversation episode, it helps immensely. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content! CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Ever since I read Onestar's Confession, I've wanted to feature it on my podcast. But not in a boring way! What better way to do it then to try to explain Onestar's confusing, mind-boggling, baffling love triangle, AND to talk about the problem with the female characters in this book? This was quite an interesting episode to record, but I enjoyed doing it. I think that Onestar and Smoke definitely should have stayed together. What about you?
