The Guilty Feminist, aka Deborah Frances-White, is on the show this week and we couldn’t be more excited! In this fascinating chat with the OG podcasting queen, we get into everything from whether feminism is currently on the defensive in mainstream culture and the eroding of women's rights, to the rise of the manosphere, ‘brocasters’ and her thoughts on Steven Bartlett. Plus: the threat of Christian nationalism, dating apps, identity politics and Deborah’s culture recs! 

You can buy Deborah’s book Six Conversations We're Scared to Have: How to Change Minds, Including Your Own here. Deborah's IG: @theguiltyfeminist
