Homebrewed Feminism

We've been living our lives the past 7 months, but we are back! We're using the trailer as a quick catch-up so we can hit the ground running for Season 2 Episode 1! What have we been up to? What is different about season 2? Any news to share? Hear about it all in the trailer! 

Join Amanda and Becki as they speak with the one and (soon to be famous) Harris Eddie Hill. Harris was nice enough to have us on their podcast back at the beginning of 2021 so here's us hosting Harris. Harris is a 30-something-year-old non-binary person from Hertfordshire, UK. Harris realised they were trans/nonbinary in their mid-twenties and have since made the commitment to becoming the advocate they needed, but never had. Harris is the advocate we all needed and never had. We discuss emotional intelligence, listen to a clip from Harris' own podcast Transection Podcast and we really hate on some FARTs. 

Join us to stay open and keep learning! 

Join Amanda and Becki as they speak with the R&D Brewer for Bellfield Brewery Sally MacGarry. Sally was kind enough to come on the pod and chat about their fantastic efforts for International Women's Day. We had such a great time talking beer, feminism and their Rational Creatures IPA. This IPA was made by the women of Bellfield for Intentional Women’s Day and it is perfection. The best beer to kick off the winter porters and bring on the summer sun.

This week on the show, Amanda and Becki host Scottish filmmaker Bonnie MacRae. Join them as they discuss Bonnie's newest project 'Mind Yersel', a short film about male suicide. They'll talk about how damaging toxic masculinity is and how important it is to keep an eye out for the men in our lives.

Join Amanda and Becki as they host their first "interview" podcast with the craft beer aficionados Joanne and Tori of A Woman's Brew podcast. This collaboration episode combines both our podcasts. Not only will you hear more about the awesome Joanne and Tori. You'll hear a proper lesson on beer tasting while drinking the ever timely Impeach It Don't Bleach by Staggeringly Good Brewery. Then we listen to a clip from their Supermarket Beer episode and discuss the controversy. Let's dig in and learn!

This week is our Season 1 finale. I know, we cannot believe it either. After throwing back to their first love Hamilton, Amanda and Becki discuss Women and Government. Specifically, women running (or standing) for office. They'll talk about the violence women deal with to represent their constituency (or district) and how that should not be a deterrent. Also, we hear a Member of the Scottish Parliament’s experience in this, Kate Forbes MSP is fantastic. To run for office you need to be an advocate for your constituency (or district). So for this week’s Brewery of the week, we chose Vault City Brewing and Alchemy Brewing because when we were searching for our Woman Brewers these all men brewing teams pointed us in a direction away from them. Our final Thank a Feminist of Season 1 is no other than The Squad; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib. For the last time this season, let’s dig in and learn!

Join Amanda and Becki as they bring a topic that we should all be discussing more: pleasure. They'll talk about 'body count', mindful masturbation and how some people are reclaiming their sexuality. As always, they'll share this week's craft beer from Coul Brewing and toast the Feminist of the week, Sophia Wallace. Let's dig in and learn!
