Fights
City of Women
11/13/20 • 23 min
Have you ever had a fight on the street? As a pedestrian, a driver, a commuter on public transport? What triggered you? Maybe you were already having a bad day. Maybe it was one more motorist going the wrong way on a one way street. Maybe your personal space was being invaded and you decided you just weren’t going to have it anymore.
In this episode we trace the history of one woman’s road rage.

Guts
City of Women
10/21/20 • 27 min
‘You’ve got guts yaaa!’ How many times have you been called gutsy or brave for doing something... well normal? An early morning run alone? A solo trip? Moving to a new city? Are they acts of bravery? Or are they normal things that get cast as brave because you’re a woman doing it? And what about all the times you did these things and... nothing bad happened?
TW: Mature themes and language. Listener discretion is advised.

Whether you mass bunked to catch a first day first show or snuck off alone to escape real life for a few hours, movies have always been a form of escape. In this very first episode of City of Women, we ask what it is about the cinema that makes women feel so free.

In City of Women, we explore the calculated strategies, backdoor negotiations, and often absurd lengths women go to have fun and feel free in their city.
Every Indian woman knows that being out in the city comes with rules - rules that determine who gets to be where and what you can and can’t do. But this show is not about those rules. It’s about how they get broken, bent, and jumped over when women decide to do things just for themselves. From Vaaka Media, hosts Radhika Viswanathan and Samyuktha Varma will take you on a fun, complex joyride into the minds of women and the streets of Bangalore, India.

Cadets
City of Women

Freezing water, bathrooms from hell and bras designed to torture. Being a part of the National Cadet Corps isn’t fun and games. But there’s also camaraderie, exploration and certain kind of freedom. Two former cadets reminisce (and sing) about their NCC days.
Thank you to Abhirami and Swarna for recording this conversation.

Literature has always been a source of joy and inspiration for us at City of Women and we wanted to find a way to express that love. We bring to you a new kind of episode in which we talk to and hear from authors about certain moments in their books that explore how women inhabit the cities they live in.
In this episode we hear from Shrayana Bhattacharya, author of Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh about fights, friendship and the fandom of Shah Rukh.
