À propos de ce contenu audio

Femme & Furious is a feminist pop culture podcast for women and LGBTQIA+ folks who want a feminist spin on beloved TV, books, and blockbuster franchises.

If you devour BookTok romances, spiral over Emily Henry releases, and still show up for Marvel while side-eyeing the gender politics...welcome. You’re in the right space, babe!

We ask the big questions:

  • Is this empowering?
  • Why are we still rewarding emotionally unavailable men?
  • Just how many women have to get fridged before we change the trope?
  • Why do stories that mean so much to women and queer folks get dismissed?
  • Why do female characters have to earn complexity while male characters are handed it?
  • And why are we absolutely feral for certain fictional men anyway? (somewhat rhetorical)

If you want smarter pop culture conversations, feminist book discussions, and a space where your obsession makes sense…

Press play.
