Today we’re joined by Dr. Jennifer Grandis! Dr. Grandis is a physician, surgeon, cancer researcher, and author of Harsh Medicine: Why Women Can’t Get Ahead in Science and Health Care. Women now make up the majority of medical school graduates, so you might think sexism in medicine has been solved. Nay. Dr. Grandis interviewed over 100 doctors & scientists about what actually happens post-graduation... we see job titles without real authority, unequal access to resources, harassment, stalled promotions, and institutions that claim meritocracy right up until a gal has the balls to ask for equal pay. Important to discuss because representation is not the same as power, and we love a woman in power :)

Shana Stein built a career in entertainment that spans drama, comedy, action, genre television, and features films. She's directed episodes of The Boys and The Testaments, produced for Monk (flashback to your mom knitting in the living room, maybe that’s just me), and brought hard-earned authority to rooms that don't always expect authority to look feminine. We're here to talk about taking up space and raising other women up along the way. Includes celebrity anecdotes and karaoke tangents for your listening pleasure.

Featuring smart friend Liz of the Multiverse School, here to add computer science expertise to the conversation. Pitch: if you hate AI, it could benefit you to learn exactly how it is bad and how we could make it better. If they pull the plug on ChatGPT (the kleenex of AI) there will still be some guy in his basement with a powerful enough open source copy (*that we cannot realistically erase from the world*) who can use it to compromise the security of everything that you do on the internet. Saying fuck AI slop is super valid but it will not stop the pentagon from developing autonomous drones. Equating personal use of an LLM with cataclysmic problems like networked state surveillance accomplishes nothing. Being aware of what is clickbait/misinformation vs what is actually dangerous, AND asking what do we do now that we are walking this path (which again, it is not technologically possible to stray from, unless we confiscate every basement dude’s computer)... well it just seems like a good thing, ya know.

Liz also runs an online academy! It’s designed to make tech education more accessible, aka less bro-coded, for people the industry has traditionally overlooked >> check it out at themultiverse.school

Today we’re joined by personal trainer and fitness creator Kate Havlicek! You may know her from the viral video commenting on Pete Hegseth’s ~questionable~ pull-up technique. Kate is a badass, and here to talk about the overlap of politics and fitness. This isn’t an episode about getting skinny or worshipping discipline. It's about movement as a benefit to our mental health, our autonomy, and how sexism makes it all the way to the gym or the tennis court. We hear great advice for people interested in training. And not so great stories of incels in the comment section. How surprising.

Today we’re joined by Lynn Harris, founder of Gold Comedy: a comedy school, professional network, and content studio built to support women as they grow their careers (and make funny stuff!). We talk about Lynn’s early realization — men are allowed to be sloppy and experimental, yet still be seen as promising, charming even. But if women are *too* messy, too much, it’ll never accepted. They're supposed to arrive ready, or they don't belong. This has never been an even playing field. And when the industry won’t make room for us to grow, there are places we can build that will.

Are you a fan of Frankenstein by author Mary Shelley published in 1818? Did you watch the 2025 adaptation? Are you a fan of horror and also of understanding the author behind the story? Well then have we got an episode for you. Mary Shelley lore, OG Frankenstein mythology, and discussion of Guillermo Del Toro’s recent attempt. With dear friend Nik here for another movie review!

Today we dive into gaming culture, joined by Alison’s dear friend Spenser! Who plays these video games anyway? And not just who plays them… who identifies as a "gamer”? We talk about player demographics, studies on the effects of violent video games, and the sexist/discriminatory practices of gaming companies. Then we get into GamerGate, and how its bullshit didn’t stay local to gaming, but bled into the rise of the alt-right movement as well. Turns out it was never really about video games in the first place.

Casual interview with rockstar Lzzy Hale of the band Halestorm (!!). SO thrilled to have her on the podcast to talk about what it's like to be an unapologetic woman in a male dominated field — in this case the music industry and especially the rock genre! We get into how rewarding it is to lead by example and empower women as they find their voice, the courage that comes after facing fear, and plenty more along the way. We are here to lift each other up, to show what's possible, and, as always, are stronger together.

Today we are joined by Danny of the "Am I The A**hole Podcast"! Danny pre-selected a few queries relevant to our SADGAP interests to read and assess: attractive salesperson, body hair, and landlord transactions. We deliver final rulings, that are certainly free of personal bias and leave no room for arguement. It's a fun time! Best case scenario, you like it too.

@misandristmemes is joined by @meme.phistopheles (aka Sean) for a solid yap sesh. Topics include: unlearning emotional repression, toxic masculinity as a perversion of stoicism, how to unironically use the word ally in the context of feminism, and like 45 other tangents. Patriarchy hurts everyone. Gatekeeping protects the gate but can also block resources. Your bf should go to therapy. Societal conditioning sucks and everyone's tired ._.

Check out Sean’s book “Everything Will Be Okay“, available pretty much everywhere!
