That Other F Word episodes
- You’re Canceled!
What is cancel culture and how do we cancel Mitch, immediately? We talk about this modern day phenomenon that has affected lots of celebrities, but many people out of the limelight as well. Are cancel culture and public shaming effective or are they bad for our society? You will not rue the day you listened to this episode!
Theme music is “Get Happy Now” by Podington Bear.
1 hr 2 min - Bye Bye Bedford

- Going Gray!
We chat with Katrina’s friend Karina (you read that right) all the way from her home in Miami. Karina has been told she is brave for going gray, but is going gray totally beside the point when it comes to what makes her a badass? Why is covering your gray hair such an established expectation for women? When did aging become a cardinal sin?

Rynn Young and Katrina Vargas take back the word "Feminism" one episode at a time. Feminism isn't a bad word! It just means people shouldn't be treated differently because of genetics. Using current…
events and personal experience we analyze the perceptions of feminism. We even get male perspective from our producer, Mitch Wheeler for optimal transparency.
