Feminist Frequency Radio

In episode four of FFR, just like Riker holding down the bridge for Picard, Carolyn takes over hosting duties while Anita flies back from Europe! (Don't worry, Anita shall return next week!) We finally meet Ashley, the mysterious fourth member of the Feminist Frequency team, who sheds some light on her role in the organization. We rave about the joyous and touching new Pixar film Coco, which centers Mexican characters and Mexican culture, and in the wake of the Infinity War trailer, we return to one of our favorite topics: superheroes, cultural notions of masculinity, and dudes punching each other in the face. Ashley reveals her feelings about both dogs and peanut butter--AND ONE OF THOSE STATEMENTS MAY SHOCK YOU! All this and much more here on Feminist Frequency Radio! A huge thank-you to Alex at Cards Against Humanity for helping Ashley participate from the Windy City.

We're back with Episode Three of Feminist Frequency Radio! This week, we dive into the latest entertainment news and share our excitement for Ava DuVernay’s upcoming film adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time. We then discuss comedian Hari Kondabolu’s thought-provoking new documentary The Problem With Apu, which looks at the harm done by Apu of The Simpsons, perhaps the single most enduring racial stereotype of a character in American pop culture history. We also return to Hawkins, Indiana circa 1984 to share our reactions to the second season of Stranger Things and Anita explains that, like Eleven, she too used to get nosebleeds a lot (but unfortunately she doesn’t divulge the nature of her telekinetic powers). Finally, Carolyn admits that International Men’s Day put her in a reflective mood and made her reconsider some things she said on last week’s show.

Buckle up as Anita tries to explain what prompted her to sit through a recent Twilight marathon; Caro eyes Amazon's new Middle-earth tourism initiative with suspicion; and the team explores their mutual love of The Good Place.
