What The F

After the hottest-girl summer ever, the What the F Podcast is back for season two- and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you! The team has a bunch of new members making their podcast debut. Payton, Aayana and Lucy from Season 1 are joined by Grace, Suhani, Shelby and Mak!

This episode, we share some of our dating horror stories in honor of Halloween season, explore the dark web (Tinder), and learn about sensual footsies and Tumblr's lesbian master doc. 

As always, feel free to check out our blog, give us feedback, or submit an anonymous 6-Word First Time Story. 

Stay fresh, funny, fearless, feminist, FUCK!

For our Season 1 Finale, Claire, Payton and Aayana discuss eating disorders and their prevalence on college campuses. What differentiates eating disorders from disordered eating, and why is eating disorder culture so normalized in young adults? How can we navigate stereotypes and stigma surrounding common eating disorders? More importantly, our hosts dish out advice on recovery: what has and hasn't worked for them, and how to support yourself and your friends while navigating college life. 

The What the F Podcast is going on summer vacation, but no worries- we'll be back in Ann Arbor for the fall semester. Until then, stay fresh, funny, fearless, feminist, fuck!

Trigger warning: discussions of eating disorders, restrictive eating, and mental health struggles.

In this episode, Aayana and Payton break down everything to do with double standards – but who better to center this conversation around then Taylor Swift herself? One of the most iconic singer/songwriters of all time, Ms. Swift has been subjected to gendered dynamics in both her career and personal life – dynamics that apply to many of us in our own lives. Tune in as we dissect prevailing ideas on working and motherhood, creatorship, and theorize about the “folklore” love triangle.

TW/CW: Sexual assault, sexual predation, institutional violence against survivors, language  

From knishes to Paris to protecting predators, Mark Schlissel has been the talk of UofM's campus as of late. On today's episode, we discuss the issues surrounding his termination and interim replacement, the Board of Regents' decision to release 118 pages of emails, and the larger patterns of sexual abuse and obscurement at the University of Michigan. Tune in for Payton's research, stay for Aayana's fanfic reenactment, and learn a lot in between.
