1) As It Should Be PodcastEpisode 16: “Critique the Stories that Shape Us with F.D Signifier (he/him)” - As It Should Be Podcast (September 2021)
Episode description:
We don’t take the critical eye to our film and tv as often and as deeply as is needed. The level of influence that they have on how we not only see ourselves but the stories we believe about other people, requires that we take a step back. In today’s episode, Thamarrah is joined by F.D Signifier (he/him). During our conversation I learned so much about Fiq’s upbringing and how that shaped him, but we also get into a conversation about how the portrayal of Black men specifically has impacted how WE as a society behave towards them, what we expect from them, and how THEY navigate the world as a result.

Episode description:
Today, BadBunny was watching F.D Signifier's video "Drake and the Death of Hip Hop" when he offered on twitter to hop on the stream and talk about it! What follows is a fantastic conversation about many topics: White supremacy's complex effects on black culture; the function and dysfunction of gatekeeping; the difficulty of trying to be an internet content creator with values and more!

Episode description:
In this week’s bad faith I spoke to YouTube video essay celebrity F.D Signifier about his most recent take on the MANOSPHERE. What time do online male spaces play in cultivating mass shooters? What does it teach is about the psychology of these people? What is the left doing wrong that makes Jordan Peterson an appealing outlet for lost youths? Also, we can talk Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, if we must. ;)
5) Bad Faith PodcastEpisode 181 - The Pewdiepie Pipeline (w/ F.D. Signifier) - Bad Faith Podcast (June 2, 2022)
Episode description:
The self-described "Black godfather of BreadTube" joins the podcast today to talk about his latest viral video on the mass shooter phenomenon and the role internet culture plays in radicalizing disaffected youth. F.D. Signifier wrote his master's thesis on mass shooters and also thought young boys -- many of whom took their own lives -- and brings a unique perspective as a very online elder millennial who has done his fair share of book-learning on the subject. The conversation expands to a critique of the left's own recruiting prowess -- especially when it comes to Black leftist. Be sure to check out F.D.'s latest, "Dissecting the Manosphere," as well as the other videos on his YouTube channel.
6) It’s Not Just In Your Head Pocast#107: The Manosphere (ft. F.D.Signifier) - It’s Not Just In Your Head Podcast (September 28, 2022)

It's a good one!Part 2 of this conversation is a patron only episode

21 min - Tribbling: Fun And Effective Trick To Play With Vocal Resonance
Hi there, and welcome to TRANSlating Everything. It's Tuesday, May 9, 2023, and I want to share with you one of the most playful and effective techniques to play with vocal resonance.
Today, I want you to forget about words, sentences, and phrases. You might be putting the transgender cart before the non-binary horse. I need you to take a step back.
We're going to instead explore a fun and effective vocal technique that will help you go back to so-called "words" with a deeper, more intuitive understanding of how to manipulate your vocal resonance.
This vocal resonance technique will also teach you a vital component of how to use your voice, too.
This vocal technique is called "tribbling."

6 min - John Wick Would Be TERRIBLE If Not For This One Scene
Since 2014, John Wick the character and franchise has taken the world by storm. The series recently released the fourth in the franchise, and while most franchises are on the way out, John Wick (and the Fast and Furious franchise wtf) prove that some movies get better with each sequel.
But none of that would be possible for the John Wick franchise without one particular scene.

5 min - A Brief Timeline Of Stephenie Magister
Folks, I’ve written a lot of memoir shorts over the last couple of years. I wrote so many of them that I collected them into an anthology. They’re basically a book. Except they’re available for free online — but only if you use that link.
Now from my perspective, the anthology means that all of you should already know who I am and how I got here, but the fact is — that’s a lot of reading! Even the shorter biographical articles I’ve written aren’t all that short and only cover certain parts of my life.
So I wanted to give everyone the fastest rundown of my life I’ve ever put down on paper. Or podcast. Or video. Or whatever way you found this.
This is also available as an article on Substack and Medium.

9 min - Ten Deep As Hell Women's Voices
Hold on, a deep voice doesn’t automatically make everyone think you’re a man?
It does not!
Just listen to the women in the below list. Many of them probably have deeper voices than you (quiet from the bass section, please). What’s undeniable, though, is that their voices sound like women.Go here for the written version of this article.

8 min - Is Biological Sex Outdated? Offensive? ...HARMFUL?
While the terms "male sex" and "female sex" have long held practical function and purpose in medical fields, they are increasingly just stupid and outdated.
They are holding us back.
When we look at the fleshy bits that make up a person's genitals, we really have no idea whether we are looking at a penis, a vagina, or something else entirely. Not until we talk to the person. The individual.
Just so, I am a woman. I have a woman's body. I have always had a woman's body. To tell me that any part of my body has ever been a man's is offensive. It is wrong. It is evil.
