Episode 35: With Love, Meghan- a male feminist's view

03/17/25 • 18 min

Sam and Jamie discuss the Duchess of Sussex’s fabulous new lifestyle show— With Love, Meghan. Being a true Kate Middleton loyalist, Jamie is of course sceptical about her motivations behind making the show- while Sam is inspired to review his new life in the shed using some Markle sparkle.

If you’re new here, welcome to the FeMANism, a podcast for men, by men, for women. Brothers-in-law Sam Martin and Jamie Hoggart are just two great guys, the FeMANism podcast is their way of ensuring that the fight for equality is in capable cis male hands. Sam is a father of six female children and a recently qualified marriage counsellor. Jamie is an ex-ITV producer with some time on his hands, pending his next job offer. Together they are pretty confident they can speak on all feminist-related topics and finally sort this whole equality thing out once and for all. And all whilst making feminism more entertaining and a bit less annoying.

Jamie and Sam are played by female comedians Samantha Martin and Amy Hoggart, with their voices digitally lowered.

In this week’s ep, Jamie is excited to welcome fellow ITV alumni and absolute best friend, Barney Richards (played by Luke McQueen) onto the pod.
