Many of us associate soup with comfort and cooler weather. However, soup is not immune to society's determination to gender everything. We dig into the history, the marketing and the arguments about why this is in this classic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fairy tales are as old as time, moralistic stories that have influenced our understanding of the world, and not always for the better. Amanda Leduc's 2020 novel Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space explores the power of fairy tales and their historically problematic depiction of disability.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I chat with cultural commentator Jasmine Melody after we connected over her viral TikTok unpacking Love Island UK. What started as conversations about Jasmine, Kavan and the villa quickly became a much bigger discussion about modern dating, feminism and the way we relate to one another outside reality TV. Together we explore why some men struggle to date a feminist, why women are often expected to prioritise empathy over accountability, how family upbringing and culture shape our beliefs about relationships, and what dating as feminists actually looks like in the real world. We also discuss emotional maturity, masculinity, online discourse, and why Love Island has become such a fascinating reflection of modern relationships. Whether you're a reality TV fan or simply navigating today's dating landscape, this conversation will challenge the assumptions you've been taught about love, gender and healthy relationships.

On this week’s Haaretz Podcast, guest host Joshua Leifer talks to Pnina Pfeuffer, a liberal, feminist ultra-Orthodox social activist. The Jerusalem-based Pfeuffer, CEO of the New Haredim, recently petitioned against a Knesset bill that would permit gender-segregated study tracks for master's and doctoral degrees in Israeli academic institutions. Pfeuffer represents a growing minority inside the Israeli ultra-Orthodox public that is interested in “full citizenship, with full obligations and rights” in the Jewish State. This is a public that wants the Israeli government to enforce the military draft on Haredim and teach math and English in Haredi schools, instead of continuing the de facto Haredi autonomy in which many Israeli rules and norms are absent. According to Pfeuffer, the Haredi community reflects Israel as a whole, and younger Haredim - like their secular and religious Zionist counterparts - are radicalizing, and are more right wing than their parents. Some, as Leifer notes, are part of a “far-right Haredi street movement that is in the Ben-Gvir camp or even more right wing.” Addressing the American Jewish community, Pfeuffer asks that those giving money to Israeli causes “educate themselves” about who they are supporting, “because a lot of liberal funding and good intentions” end up promoting gender segregation and far-right politics.

Feminists have been arguing about the politics of homemaking for a long time. In her 1963 feminist classic, The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan famously compared the suburban American home to a “comfortable concentration camp”, arguing that homemaking was not just a waste of a woman's talents, but a form of degradation.Maternal feminists reject this characterisation. But they also highlight the ways in which stay-at-home parents – mostly, but by no means exclusively, mothers – are made vulnerable, particularly financially. My guest today is focused on how public policy can best reduce this vulnerability.Ivana Greco is a homemaker and homeschooling mother of four. She has a degree from Harvard Law School and practiced law for ten years. She now writes about issues impacting homemakers, women, children and families. Hosted on Acast.

In 1957, a terrified 17-year-old girl lay on a Harlem kitchen table undergoing an illegal, backstreet abortion. Nearly dying from complications, she was rushed to a hospital ward where nurses badgered her and demanded to know what she had done. That teenager was Frances M. Beal.Long before she would write the seminal 1969 manifesto "Double Jeopardy: To Be Black and Female" or co-found the Third World Women's Alliance, Beal was navigating the violent realities of being young, Black and female in America. In this episode of Berkeley Talks, Ula Taylor, a UC Berkeley professor and chair of African American studies, presents her latest book project, which reconstructs Beal's political radicalization brick by brick. Blending first- and third-person narrative, Taylor explores how Beal's life — from the pressures and policing of her early years to unappreciated domestic labor and single motherhood — helped shape her pioneering work in social justice feminism.“Black feminism for Fran was not a politic that came from one experience or one moment in her life,” Taylor says. “It was a culmination of the brick of girlhood frustrations, the brick of early adolescent battles, the brick of teenage gendered expectation, the brick of abortions, the brick of sexual pleasure, the brick of housework and the brick of single motherhood. All and so many other theoretical and practical life bricks informed the construction of her Black feminist house grounded in social justice feminism.” Taylor's lecture, which took place on Feb. 19, was hosted by Berkeley's Social Science Matrix and co-sponsored by the Department of Gender and Women's Studies and the Department of African American Studies.Watch the lecture, listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-talks).Music by by HoliznaCC0.Photo by Howard Petrick/The Militant.

Ellen Moore, host of The Slut Show with Ellen Moore, is back on the podcast! She opens up about a recent breakup that resulted in a nine page letter detailing how toxic masculinity had given her partner a misconception of what a relationship should be. The women go into how misogyny has created a culture around dating that allows for men to have their privilege leak over into our romantic lives. They talk about the emotional labor women take on within relationships, how toxic masculinity contributes to gender norms in relationships, and urge listeners to remember that everyone should feel cared for and seen during a romantic partnership.How to Support TATMITB:Want more TATMITB content?

Stacey Copeland, Assistant Professor of Cultural Heritage and Identity at the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies at the University of Groningen, joins Jana Byars to talk about⁠ Lavender Sounds: From Lesbian Radio to Queer Feminist Soundwork⁠ (University of Michigan Press, 2026) delves into lesbian radio history and its evolution into queer feminist podcasting today, exploring the politics, aesthetics, and cultural activism embedded in queer feminist soundwork. Through deeply personal and archival explorations, Stacey Copeland traces the emergence of queer feminist soundwork—a unique blend of community-led storytelling, political resistance, and creative expression rooted in feminist and LGBTQ+ activism. At the heart of the book lies a powerful idea: sound is not just heard but felt, connecting generations through shared voices and struggles. In conversation with award-winning and cutting-edge queer and feminist podcast producers from across Canada and the U.S., Lavender Sounds invites us to turn a feminist embodied ear to the past to uncover the ways gender, race, and sexual orientations are embedded in our everyday media listening practices. From pioneering Canadian radio shows like Vancouver's The Lesbian Show and Montreal's Dykes on Mykes to today's queer chumcasts and audio documentary, Lavender Sounds is a journey through auditory landscapes where joy, protest, intimacy, and identity intersect. This book opens a vibrant conversation about how radio and podcasting are vital tools for marginalized communities to connect, create, and claim space in the media world.

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of “The Odyssey” has been drawing a lot of attention but not necessarily for good reasons.Actress Lupita Nyong'o, set to play Helen of Troy in the film, complained in an interview that Homer didn't include enough women in his play.

The modern script for women seems to contemplate exclusively two options: either the feminist and childless virago, or the homemaker and mother of as many children as possible. While neither path may be “wrong”, and while we won't tell anyone how to live their lives! - a real problem may lie in the way both conservatives and progressives understand women more broadly. As important as motherhood may be, does women's generative nature “define” them? Are children a woman's “job”? If so, for how long? Even more radically, to what extent are men and women “different”?Biology provides some answers without a doubt. It is only with the help of lady philosophy, however, that both men and women can appreciate what to do with their differences and how to understand their common human nature. In this episode, we discuss these issues with Dr. Angela Knobel, professor of Philosophy at the University of Dallas. Dr. Knobel's forthcoming book deals precisely with these questions, and with the unexplored territory of Aristotle and Aquinas' ethical naturalism applied to motherhood.

On the night that 18-year-old Joan Gelfand moved to Berkeley in 1972, she experienced her first riot, as protesters infuriated by President Nixon's re-election raged down Telegraph Avenue. That was the beginning of a wild ride that soon found Gelfand immersed in a radical scene of lesbian musicians and poets, hippie drag queens, and acid freaks. After suffering the trauma of her father's death back in New York City, Gelfand found everything she was seeking here in the Bay Area: excitement, refuge, and a tight-knit group of friends and collaborators.  Her memoir “Outside Voices: A Memoir of the Berkeley Revolution” captures the vibrancy and promise of a radical feminist movement that Gelfand came here to join. It also shares the pain and disillusionment she felt as the scene fractured and consumed itself. Listen to the new episode to hear Gelfand share stories of cheap rent, militant poetry, and women's empowerment.

In this very special episode of Thank You, Mama, Ana speaks with Isabel Allende, one of the most widely read authors in the world. Isabel is the beloved Chilean author of more than thirty books, including The House of the Spirits, Eva Luna, Paula, Daughter of Fortune, and The Soul of a Woman. Her work has sold more than 80 million copies worldwide, been translated into more than 40 languages, and appeared on bestseller lists around the world. In this intimate conversation, Isabel reflects on her mother, Panchita — a talented painter who never fully developed her gifts because she was raised to depend on men. From watching Panchita's life, Isabel learned some of her most important life-lessons: to protect her independence, to be able to support herself, to put real effort behind her talents, to love her children unconditionally, and to fill life with elegance, beauty, and refinement. Isabel also talks about motherhood, parenting, feminism, raising feminists, women's rights, manners, her lifelong love of work, and how writing letters to her mother helped make her a writer. She reflects on mothers and daughters, the wisdom women pass across generations, and the surprising ingredient needed for love and relationship in later life.
