Introducing Feminist Folklore!

Summary: Hey everybody, this isn't a regular episode, but rather an advertisement for a podcast I think you might enjoy! Feminist Folklore is a weekly storytelling and discussion podcast from Skylark Media. Each week, hosts Carlea and Rachael share a fairy tale, myth, or legend from around the world, and discuss it from a feminist perspective. Does Snow White pass the Bechdel test? How different would Sleeping Beauty really be if you replaced the heroine with a sexy lamp? Whether you love Disney princesses or chilling ghost stories, Feminist Folklore has something for you. From old English ballads to contemporary Japanese legends, nothing’s off limits in these frank, funny discussions. The stories Carlea and Rachael cover can be problematic, but there’s never a dull moment. Feminist Folklore explores tough and timely topics like gender equality, toxic masculinity, and body positivity, and considers how societal attitudes about sex and gender are influenced by our deep-seated cultural narratives. You’ll be surprised by how little has changed for women since the days of the Brothers Grimm, and how much ancient myths and legends can still tell us about women’s lives. Feminist Folklore is a good fit for fans of podcasts like: • Lore • Myths and Legends • The Folklore Podcast • The History Chicks • Call Your Girlfriend • Popaganda You can listen to Feminist Folklore on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever else you like to listen. You can follow them on Twitter @femlorepod, on Instagram @feministfolklorepodcast, and online at http://feministfolklore.com. Feminist Folklore is a Skylark Media production.
