Our Editor's Take
The Guilty Feminist sounds like a serious show. But Deborah Frances-White's podcast is both hilarious and thoughtful. The Australian-born British standup star hosts this popular program. She records the series in front of a live audience. Each episode features discussions with guests about feminism. They talk about the challenges and contradictions of being a feminist. The show explores topics such as body image, gender roles, intersectionality, and more.
Deborah brings her unique perspective to these conversations. The Guilty Feminist host is also an award-winning writer and performer. She has hosted several BBC radio shows. She was candid on these radio shows about her life. Deborah shared her struggle with trying to find her biological family. Her experience also includes regular appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. So she has recorded some of the podcast episodes at that festival. She also speaks at corporate seminars where she shares insights into feminism. Deborah once gave a popular TED Talk about charisma, something she knows a lot about. Her charismatic nature comes across on each podcast episode.
Through humor and honesty, The Guilty Feminist is an approachable podcast. The goal is for listeners to explore their own relationship with feminism without judgment or shame. Each episode begins with confessions from both host and guest speakers. They talk about ways they have fallen short when it comes to living up to their ideals of what it means to be a "good" feminist. Past guests include Annie Potts, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Kemah Bob.
Listeners will appreciate how The Guilty Feminist podcast handles complex issues. Yet it still maintains its lighthearted tone throughout every conversation. It makes even difficult subjects approachable. Fans of this show may also like Global Pillage, Deborah's other podcast. On that show, she talks about global customs.
