We're kicking off our first-ever book report episode—and yes, we're calling it that on purpose. Because books have always been part of our whole life. I'm joined by my favorite reading partner: my husband, Matt. Together, we dive into stories that make us laugh, think, and ugly-cry in public. We talk about what we're reading (Margot's Got Money Troubles and Atmosphere, spoiler-free, promise). We also chat about how books shape our worldview, challenge our biases, and sometimes leave us sobbing on a treadmill—or doing laundry while quietly falling apart. Whether you read with your partner or solo, whether you love audiobooks or prefer paperbacks, this episode is an invitation to think differently about fiction—and how the right story at the right time can shift everything. 0:00 | Why We're Talking About Books 1:15 | Fiction That Surprises and Stretches Us 4:30 | Letting Go of Judgment (Even the Quiet Kind) 6:45 | Systems, Safety, and How We Care for Others 8:30 | How and Why We Read (Audiobooks, Shared Credits & Book Clubs) 11:30 | An Author We Love (and Why She's More Than “Chick Lit”) 13:00 | Space, Sexism, and Historical Power 17:00 | What Draws Us Into a Story (Even When It's Not Our Thing) 19:15 | Identity, Safety, and Belonging 21:45 | Choosing Between Love and Purpose 23:30 | Emotional Payoff (Without Spoilers) 25:00 | When a Book Wrecks You—in the Best Way 27:00 | Crafting Characters That Actually Matter 30:00 | Layers of Family, Friendship, and Social Pressure 33:00 | Villains, Compassion, and Personal Growth 35:00 | What We're Reading Now 41:00 | Our Love Story, Told in Audiobooks 43:00 | What's Next on Our Reading List Find Stacy: ⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠ ⁠⁠missionmakersart.com Learn more about your ad choices.

A troubling lawsuit highlights a church's alleged coercion and abuse protection, unpacking how religious institutions, acting as counselors, can demand victims stay in abusive relationships. This discussion explores their disregard for mandatory reporting laws and legal regulations, exposing the dangers when dogma overrides personal autonomy and human well-being. It reveals how such practices can lead to severe psychological harm, especially for children, and calls for secular principles to prevail where vulnerable individuals are concerned.News Source: Woman Sues John MacArthur's Church By Hemant Mehta for The Friendly Atheist July 14, 2025

Disaster and survival movies don't have the best track record when it comes to their treatment of women. From who deserves to die, consumption of female bodies, to ice queens who, gasp, don't want kids, what are these movies saying about who deserves redemption and who deserves to die? In this classic, we look into two examples - Jurassic World and Deep Blue Sea.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Around the world, women and girls of African Descent continue to face the double burden of racism and sexism, often navigating systemic barriers that hinder their development and violate their rights, according to the UN reproductive health agency, UNFPA.Last year, the UN General Assembly voted to recognise 25 July as the International Day for Women and Girls of African Descent as they continue to face multiple and overlapping forms of discrimination, manifesting in higher rates of poverty, barriers to education, limited access to quality healthcare, and underrepresentation in decision-making.UNFPA's “Leave No One Behind" commitment focuses on dismantling systemic barriers and ensuring equal access to rights, services, and health outcomes for all women and girls.UN News's Emma Trager-Lewis sat down with Patricia DaSilva, UNFPA Senior Programme Adviser and Global Coordinator for “Leave No One Behind” to discuss how the agency is working to uplift women and girls across the African diaspora. 

Teenage boys have always had a certain reputation for rowdiness, but there's something different going on in our schools. Fuelled by toxic influencers, misogynistic behaviour is getting worse. So, how bad is it, and how do we stop it?

This week, writer and activist Laura Bates joins Ellen and Alona to discuss her latest book The New Age of Sexism. Best known for founding the Everyday Sexism project in 2012, Laura has spent more than a decade documenting the realities of gender-based discrimination. In her new book, she turns her attention to the digital world—where artificial intelligence is giving rise to disturbing new forms of misogyny. Laura explains how technologies like deepfakes and AI chatbots are being weaponised against women, what her experiences of raising awareness in schools have taught her about how parents and teachers can better protect children, and why governments and tech companies are failing to act. Plus, Ellen and Alona discuss this week's “banger” or “dud”. This episode contains material that some listeners may find upsetting. ‘The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny' is out now. Hosted on Acast.

My guest today is Jyotsna Singh, Professor Emerita of English at Michigan State University. She has written numerous books including Colonial Narratives/Cultural Dialogues: “Discovery” of India in the Language of Colonialism (Routledge), and The Weyward Sisters: Shakespeare and Feminist Politics (Blackwell), which is co-authored with Dympna Callaghan and Lorraine Helms. She has also edited A Companion to the Global Renaissance: Literature and Culture in the Era of Expansion, 1500-1700 (Wiley-Blackwell), which has gone through two editions. She was among a handful of early scholars who illuminated Shakespeare's works within non-western, non-canonical contexts. One such example is her early essay about Shakespeare in India, “Different Shakespeares,” originally published in Theatre Journal in 1989, and then expanded on and reprinted in Colonial Narratives/Cultural Dialogues. Shakespeare and Postcolonial Theory (Bloomsbury, 2019) tells the story of the academic study of the cultural legacy of European colonialism, showing how the literature of former colonial powers represented and often distorted colonial history and how, in turn, colonized peoples articulated and reclaimed their identity and history by interrogating European culture and history. Singh's book shows how our reading of Shakespeare's plays such as ‘The Tempest,' ‘Hamlet,' and ‘Othello' has been forever changed by theater practitioners and scholars alike, while making a a persuasive case that postcoloniality continues to have a unique, still-unfolding relevance on how we read. In part, Singh's book also memorializes the struggle of scholars for legitimacy within a sometimes-hostile field. Author of the article on The Tempest mentioned at around 35:40 is as follows: Leininger, Lorie Jerrell. "The Miranda trap: Sexism and racism in Shakespeare's The Tempest." The Tempest.

This report looks at public perceptions of discrimination and sexism across key areas of life, but because there is much to unpack, this episode is divided into two parts.Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the UWLP, is joined by Dr. April Townsend, one of the co-authors of the report and a UWLP research fellow.

Why do women turn on each other? This important question was posed in a recent Substack article, which addressed what Jodi has been wondering for a long time: Is it envy? Fear? Competition? Patriarchy? All of the above? Regardless of the underlying reasons, we might catch ourselves dismissively believing 'there's just something about her that bothers me' (which then allows us to avoid those underlying reasons and blame the other person). In this episode, Jodi and her friend, Brooke, talk more about all of this. They also discuss the documentary, Call Her Alex, and the aforementioned Substack article by Women Are The Medicine.  Show notes and resources: Music by JD Pendley Link to Jodi's website and additional resources Link to Call Her Daddy on Hulu Link to Substack article by Rachel Lawlan of Women Are The Medicine   Disclaimer: This podcast is shared for educational and informational purposes only.

Concerns about the rise and rapid development of artificial intelligence often tend to focus on AI's threat to jobs or its potential to influence politics and elections. But what about the very real threat that AI poses to women? In her new book, The New Age of Sexism, feminist writer Laura Bates explores how the ever-evolving world of technology has become a danger to women and how the expanding scope of what's possible online is “reinventing misogyny.” In this episode, Bates talks to Róisín Ingle about the real harm caused by pornographic deepfakes, the alarming rise of AI girlfriends, and her eye-opening visit to a cyber brothel in Berlin.But first Irish Times journalist Niamh Towey is here to talk about some of the biggest stories of the week including the new Women's Aid report showing the rise in domestic violence disclosures, the latest in the Annie McCarrick case and the furore over the Bezos wedding in Venice.

Karen Read was found not guilty of killing her cop boyfriend last week, but the online debate rages on. Did Karen do it, or was she framed by a group of police members and their families to cover for their crime? I say the latter. And it was only a mixture of classist and sexist stereotypes combined with out of control egos in the small town of Canton that ever led to her being charged to begin with.

To all our female listeners: have you ever been a victim of misogyny in the workplace? Sadly, the chances are you have, given that a 2022 survey by recruitment agency Randstad found that 72% of women have “encountered inappropriate behaviour from male colleagues”, while 67% had experienced some form of gender discrimination. But there are some simple everyday actions that can help us to counter sexism at work, and social media has recently been rife with discussion of these so-called micro-feminist acts. So the trend really began taking off when American producer and host Ashley Chaney posted a clip on Tiktok in late March 2024, talking about a couple of her own favourite examples of microfeminism. What kind of actions are we talking about? How did microfeminism come to be so popular on TikTok? What's the point of microfeminism? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The backlash against Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover supposedly satirising the male gaze has left us grappling with difficult questions, from how much moral responsibility Sabrina owes her young fans to whether this satire serves any greater purpose. Tying in with the release of Laura Bates's brilliant new book The New Age of Sexism, we debate everything from how messy female ‘empowerment' has become and what misogyny actually looks like in our terrifying age of AI. On theme, too, is our review of Alex Cooper's new documentary about her meteoric Call Her Daddy fame: how does her sexual agency compare to Sabrina's? And on a lighter note we start off with a juicy debrief on Dua Lipa's new British Vogue cover.

What happens when a woman names harm in her church community—and instead of support, she's met with silence, suspicion, or even exile?  Too often, the church's response to abuse and inequity reveals a painful truth: that protecting systems has taken precedence over protecting people. In this powerful and layered conversation, Dr. Andrew J. Bauman joins Dr. Dan Allender and Rachael Clinton Chen to confront the realities explored in Andrew's new book Safe Church: How to Guard Against Sexism and Abuse in Christian Communities.  Together, they discuss: The cost many women pay for speaking up: isolation, lost community, and spiritual disillusionment How even “progressive” churches can harbor subtle patterns of power and control The stark data that exposes ongoing gender inequity in ministry The personal stories that bring this reality to life—and why representation matters What a truly safe and equitable church could look like This is not just a conversation about what's broken—it's a call to build something better. A church where truth is welcomed, not silenced. Where policies protect the vulnerable. Where power is shared, not hoarded. And where the sacred image of God in women is honored, nurtured, and empowered. Whether you're a survivor, a leader, or someone wrestling with disillusionment, this episode offers a brave and hopeful vision of what the church can become—if we have the courage to tell the truth and move toward change.
