Tasmania’s own Hannah Gadsby stopped stand-up comedy in its tracks with her multi award winning show, Nanette, which played to sold out houses in Australia, the UK and New York. Its launch on Netflix, and subsequent Emmy win, took Nanette (and Hannah) to the world. Hannah’s difficult second album (which was also her eleventh solo show) was named Douglas after her dog. Hannah walked Douglas around the world, selling out the Royal Festival Hall in London, the Opera House in Sydney and the Kennedy Center in DC, a sit down run in New York and shows across the US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.  Douglas was an Emmy nominated smash hit, moving beyond the trauma at the centre of Nanette and instead letting the world see the view from Hannah’s brain – one that sees the world differently but with breathtaking clarity. The show covered Hannah’s autism diagnosis, cleared up some confusion regarding a penguin, lectured some great masters, and saw the patriarchy needled with various levels of vigour. Douglas is available throughout the world on Netflix, recorded in Los Angeles. Hannah has done plenty of other things over the course of more than a decade in comedy, but that will do for now.

On Broadway she appeared in the Tony nominated play Sweat by Lynn Nottage. On film and television she’s taken on roles and projects like Dr. Dre’s mother, Verna, in Straight Outta Compton (Dir. F. Gary Gray)  True to the Game 1 & 2 (Dirs. Preston Whitmore & Jamal Hill); Baselines (Dir Nate Parker) XX (Dir. Karyn Kusama); and Her (Dir.

This week it's Avalon's turn to nerd out, this time over the TV show Supernatural.  This episode is jam packed with shipping, fangirling, and ends with a very elegant game of FMK.  Along the way we also recap all the good Coheed and Cambria happenings, the reason why Avalon has been having sex dreams about Matt Mercer, and how Diana can always find a way to relate anything to the TV show Charmed.  Strange changes in the audio this week were brought to you by Technical Malfunctions and Diana's Anxiety disorder.

In the very first homework episode, Avalon and Diana revisit some of the topics they've discussed and review the exploration they've done.  Avalon so bravely shares her own D&D creation while Diana reviews her first Toonami binge session.  There's so much more to learn and so much more to Femsplain, so don't fret  - this is only the beginning.  

Breitbart News has convinced concerned Christian families that Ontario's new child protection laws will bring forth a queer totalitarian state, where parents opposing or denying their children's gender identity will have them forcibly removed from their homes. After tweeting about almost being published in Teen Vogue on June 2, Toronto-based freelance writer, Roslyn Talusan's call-out of the magazine went viral and led to dozens of writers flooding her inbox with similar stories of being strung along after having successfully pitched personal stories and essays approved by editors of Conde Nast's supposedly progressive, feminist magazine. The Liberal government is moving forward with an amendment to the Criminal Code,  as a result of the Jian Ghomeshi case. The change will, for the first time, ensure that a complainant's text messages, e-mails and video recordings with sexual content or a sexual purpose can be kept out of trials. Freelance writer and editor at Femsplain, Roslyn Talusan joins Jesse.Support CANADALAND: https://canadaland.com/joinSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
