Queer is the New Black

A Podcast of One's Own

play

08/06/13 • 72 min

Orange is the New Black is a really great show that we immediately start criticizing the worst parts. And then we criticize ourselves for being harder on women-made media. And then we criticize Francis Ha. We also talk about how sexy Laura Prepon's Alex is, and how we forget every other character's name. Lots and lots of discussion on queerness. Our Living As A Feminist Question Of The Week is "Does being in a hetero relationship mean you are hetero?" As always, we provide interesting wishy-washy answers.

Fan Art is Not Art

A Podcast of One's Own

play

07/10/13 • 72 min

This episode is dedicated to fan art, fan fiction, and fan culture! Is it feminist? Is it capitalist? Is it (metaphorically) colonialist? We have the answers (no we don't). We have a very special guest, Mel, offering us her mind-blowing insights into all things "fan" and uses the word "possibilities" a lot. Our Living As A Feminist Question Of The Week is "How should feminists respond to name-calling?" We drop the C-word a lot (not c-word as in cancer and not as in the show). We talk about Gilmore Girls (spoiler: Rory and Jess kiss), Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey, and Ms. Frizzle and Mary Poppins' first date.

Feminist Wiles

A Podcast of One's Own

play

07/06/13 • 72 min

All Game of Thrones all the time! This episode we discuss the woman and queer characters (and the straight man hotties too of course) in the TV series. There are NO SPOILERS for the BOOKS, but it is ridden with spoilers from all three seasons. Plus, we discuss "pride" in our Living as a Feminist Question of the Week, since Toronto's Pride was happening and it seemed topical.
