Another week fighting the post-Roe apocalypse, another hourlong pod with your beloved, fury-filled Feminist Buzzkills! The Buzzkills are Buzzkillin’ it up and serving this week’s latest steaming hot abobo tea for y’all and all the uteri out there. WHEW, What a week! Brittney Griner was freed and reunited with her wife, Herschel Walker was reunited with Texas, and the tech bros are uniting with the abobo world…? Yeah, we aren’t too sure how we feel about that one just yet. 

From poppin’ off about the tech bros to dragging the delirious anti-abortion woman on a mission to end r*pe exceptions, we’re covering it all, including news that the demand for vasectomies is in fact increasing post-Roe. No, we will not be snapping or clapping for these cis men taking responsibility for once, but we do love that news!

As per usual, we’ve got another top tier lineup to bless your earholes, starting with Dr. Melissa Madera, AKA the “abortion diarist”! This versatile activist hero is dropping some major research knowledge and gabbing to us about telehealth, fighting abortion stigma, and her work with The Abortion Diary (spoiler alert: it’s the universe’s ONLY audio archive of abortion stories). PLUS! Blair Imani is in the house! The queer best-selling author, educator, and creator of the viral web series “Smarter in Seconds” dishes about how she empowers people through information, being on the board at Muslims for Progressive Values, what it’s like to be an educational influencer, her dope story of how she became co-owner of Fempower Beauty, and SO. MUCH. MORE.

Times are heavy, but WE GOT YOU.
