The Guilty Feminist

In this lively discussion, Jess Robinson, an impressionist known for her vocal mimicry, shares insights about her show celebrating Elton John. Alison Spittle dives into her experiences with body image and fat liberation, offering a humorous take on societal pressures. Grace Petrie reflects on the intersection of music and politics in her protest songs, while Sikisa combines her experiences as a comedian and immigration lawyer, blending humor with legal insights. Together, they create an engaging exploration of identity, laughter, and the challenges of modern life.

Joining the discussion are Lee Knight, an actor known for the short film 'A Friend of Dorothy,' and Syrus Lowe, who appeared in Mike Lee's 'Hard Truths.' They dive into the chaotic world of character development and absurd storylines from a popular series, all while sharing personal anecdotes about weddings and fashion. The guests critique relationship dynamics and laugh about celebrity encounters. Their lively banter reflects on the significance of intergenerational friendships and the need for deeper character narratives in storytelling.

Join Alison Spittle, an Irish comedian and writer, alongside Miranda Kane, a former sex worker and advocate, and Niki Adams from the English Collective of Prostitutes as they tackle the often-taboo subject of sex workers' rights. They emphasize the need for decriminalization and challenge societal misconceptions surrounding sex work. With humor and insights, they share poignant stories about the impacts of legal frameworks, discuss the traumatic Soho raids, and promote the importance of centering sex workers' voices in feminist conversations.

Join comedian and actress Margaret Cabourn-Smith, known for her podcast 'Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith', as she hilariously navigates the latest drama in 'And Just Like That.' The discussion ranges from the absurdity of a dog’s illness handled like a sitcom gag to the nostalgic connections that resonate throughout the series. They reflect on the complexities of relationships, the significance of female friendships, and the show's intriguing character dynamics, all while blending humor and insightful critiques of pop culture.
