Spring Listening
Thunderstorms, puddles, birds singing, spring is finally upon us (yay)!
This week we're bringing you our spring podcast picks (feminist comms edition) so you have something to listen to on all those long pandemic walks you can finally take again! From ethical storytelling to representation to cyber safety, we've got you covered.
1. Bechdel Cast: A podcast about the portrayal of women in movies, hosted by Caitlin Durante and Jamie Loftus. So much fun!
2. There Are No Girls On The Internet: An essential listen amplifying the marginalized voices who shape the internet while exploring the experience of being a woman online.
3. Feminist Digital Futures: A Bot-Populi podcast exploring feminist imaginations of social media with scholars, activists and leaders from the Global South.
4. The Feminist Internet Podcast: Artists and designers explore the theme of Recoding Spaces, both online and offline, with the aim of diversifying internet spaces metaphorically, physically and digitally, intercepting homogenous zones and breaking the filter bubble.
5. Switchblade Sisters: Every week, film critic and screenwriter April Wolfe sits down with a woman film-maker to slice-and-dice a classic genre movie—horror, exploitation, sci-fi and many others!
6. Deep Energy Podcast: Take time to rest. Rainstorms, streams, sunsets, drums, and ocean waves, all set to an ethereal, new-age backdrop. Not only do these sounds help with meditation, but can help you fall asleep faster.
7. Code Switch: Hosted by journalists of colour, Code Switch tackles the subject of race head-on. how it impacts every part of society — from politics & pop culture to history, sports and everything in between.
