Femme Fag and Negress Podcast

We return on Episode 13 to discuss the recent controversy surrounding RuPaul's Emmy acceptance speech and the issue of diversity, or lack thereof, in Hollywood.

We then broaden the conversation to discuss issues surrounding gender and drag and call into question whether Rupaul is gatekeeping what drag is and who should participate.

We then move on to discuss Greta Thurnberg and the recent beef she had with the UN in relation to the impeding apocalypse before closing the episode with some light chat surrounding astrology and the degree to which it informs the way in which we navigate the world.

Enjoy the episode and be sure to let us know what you think!

In Episode 12, we shift the tone of the podcast and address the pressing situation in Sudan during our usual Deconstruct the Look segment, providing insight in to the situation as well as offering up avenues to help out. We decided to wear blue and change the backdrop of the logo to act as a visual reminder of what is happening and express solidarity with the Sudanese people.

We would stress, however, the importance of extending all of our support beyond simply raising awareness and donating to one of the avenues detailed below for those in a position to do so. #BlueForSudan Here are the links to the avenues that we discuss in the episode:

We then move on to discuss dystopian window into post-Brexit Britain: ‘Years and Years’ for Matthew’s contribution to What’s Popping before tangenting on to Black Mirror in typical FFN style before Sekai chimes in with her two cents on the ending of Game of Thrones.

We introduce new segment: ‘We are not heterophobic, but…”, a segment in which we discuss heterosexuals and their contribution to the impeding apocalypse before comparing star signs to shoes in our Reading the Signs segment. Moving forward, we are looking to get guests on the podcast to add further dimensions and perspectives to the discussion. Feel free to submit proposals expressing interest and potential discussion points if you are keen to join the conversation.

A few months ago we were asked to be involved in the BBC Listening Project.

The Listening Project is a partnership between BBC Radio 4, BBC local and

national radio stations, and the British Library. The Listening Project

aims to ‘capture the nation in conversation’

Since 2012 they have been collecting intimate conversations between friends

or relatives, to build a unique picture of our lives today. They have

collected over a thousand so far, and most will be broadcast across BBC

radio, while all are archived by the British Library, preserving them for

future generations.

Our recording will be aired shortly on BBC Radio 4! #listeningproject

We’re back bitches!!!

After quite the hiatus Femme Fag and Negress are back with a new season of

FFN Podcast UK.

A MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS EPISODE BTW!!

In Episode 11, we discuss Netflix having an obsession with murderers and

paedophiles. We discuss the ‘Surviving R. Kelly documentary, ‘Leaving

Neverland’ and discus Gerry and Kate Mccan's new book: "Sun, Sex and

Suspicious Parenting"

We also discuss: The fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, Solange’s new album and

try to briefly discuss Beychella without the entire episode becoming an

entire Beyonce-related tangent. We somewhat fail.

In Episode 10, we discuss gentrification in Dundee with the recent attacks on The Reading Rooms with the authorities, threatening to shut it down.

Rooms has been a longstanding institution for Underground music in Dundee, for 17 years they have provided an alternative space for Dundee’s club scene.

We also discuss the monarchy for some reason and how they keep themselves in power. Repeatedly confusing William and Harry because who cares really.

Its Scorpio Season and this is our Halloween episode so prepare to get spooky and sexy with us as we discuss exciting topics such as Azaelia Banks and Lana Del Rey’s online Twitter feud, Which start signs are more likely to be serial killers and tell ghost stories while sipping on that Moët!!

In Episode 8, we discuss Lindsay Lohan and why you shouldn’t abduct children, travel back to 1999 with Charli XCX and boogey with Brock Hampton. We also continue to not like Rita Ora and unpack the way that repression and creativity intersect.

We talk about the Women of The World Festival in Perth which will be happening on the 29th of September, The Flint Water Crisis, The dreaded Brexit and the wonderful Serena Williams. We also take down those well-balanced and endlessly nice Libras.. it was tough.

We talk about a lot this episode! Its just one big long tangent in which we discuss the cameos in Childish Gambino’s ‘Feels like Summer’ video, gendered advertising and not liking Start Wars all while drinking the illusive 38% elixir of life.

Also in our Reading the Stars segment we give praise and thanks to the Universe for Virgos and as we recorded on her birthday we celebrate the best Virgo in the world The one and only Beyonce Giselle Knowles Carter, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons.

We talk about the upcoming M.I.A documentary and review Nicki Minaj's new album 'Queen'. More examples of Queer erasure in Hollywood is touching our hair and we take down those Virgos.
