December 28, 2024 S6 E4 Christmas Helpdesk at Bureau de WAM
If your Christmas feels very far from a Richard Curtis movie, Bureau de WAM is here to assist.

We're not addressing the devastating housing crisis here. Nor the way many people in our society are terrified of where their next meal might be coming from, or how to live with the black mould their landlord refuses to tackle. We're also not talking about the climate catastrophe, or the lives lost due to conflict this year.

We're going interpersonal, micro. The shit which - in its own insidiously powerful way - ruins lives, tears families apart and breaks hearts.

If Christmas has done a number on you, or you just need to feel a bit less alone, WAM is your woman.

December 06, 2024 S6 E2 Dear WAM with Salima and Jen: 'Benign' Sexism
Today, we're thinking about what it feels like when the men in our lives - however 'nice' they are - just can't fully get what it is to have been born into our bodies. And what it's been to navigate the world in these bodies. From childhood, through to steering our way through a sexist universe. Even just a 'benignly' sexist universe. Whatever the hell THAT means...

November 29, 2024 S5 E26 Season Finale - WAM x Repros Fight Back in Washington DC
In this season finale special, Jen caught up with Jennie Wetter in Washington DC. Jennie has headed up the Repros Fight Back initiative at the Population Institute for over 15 years, where she fights daily for reproductive health and rights. Today, our Jen invites her to share her feelings about where we are now, on the eve of a second Trump administration.

November 26, 2024 S5 E25 Kate Mosse on fighting for equality
When you're sunk in despondence and despair, is there anything both more comforting and more motivating than an internationally-lauded author dispensing pearls of gold?

Kate Mosse's practical and sage approach towards the quest for equality is just the antidote for these bleak times. Tune in for robust and dynamic inspiration to galvanise your own sense of activism.

Kate's latest book, The Map of Bones, is the last in her Huguenot quartet, and celebrates courageous women fighting for survival in a hostile land. Perfect role models for the current climate...

November 19, 2024 S5 E23 Constance Zimmer on Where We Go From Here
How is everyone feeling?

The US election results are in, and WAM HQ has lit up like a furnace. Who better to ask for her views than Constance Zimmer, on the cusp of launching her own Midlife Monologues project, and on hotline from LA.

You'll know Constance from her work in Entourage, House of Cards and Unreal. Meanwhile, in REAL life, you'll soon be getting to know her better through this groundbreaking docu-theatre experience, starring the likes of Elizabeth Banks, Sandra Oh and Eva Longoria and directed by Vagina Monologues' Abby Epstein.

This convo really offered us some light in the darkness. We hope it does the same for you.
