S1. Ep. 14: The Voice of Her Generation

in , , ,

She’s a poet! She’s a fashionista! She’s a scriptwriter! She’s…ANGBEEN! This guest has been a Feminist Hotdog cheerleader from the beginning. Without her this show might never have existed! We had a blast talking about pregnant Spiderwoman, Lorena Bobbitt’s reckoning, our mutual love for Stacey Abrams, and two new Hall of Famers, one of whom made us cry (happy tears). Thanks for stopping by, A! (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

S1. Ep. 13: Lovers of Life

in , , ,

This week I got to dish with teacher, mother and lover of life Judy Kerner. We talk about Judy's unconventional path to parenthood, ruminate over Gillette's new toxic masculinity ad, and learn about three modern book lovers who are bringing back indie-stye Bookmobiles to communities that lack access to queer authors and writers of color. We also welcomed two new Hall of Famers who both work in the entertainment industry, including a young woman who started the Chinese #MeToo movement. (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

S1. Ep. 12: Adventures With Maddog

in , , ,

My guest, Madison Clark, is a scholar, a pop-culture princess, an activist and an expert on everything Michael Jackson. Madison stopped by on a visit from Southern California to talk about her latest experience as a clinic escort, clemency for Cyntoia Brown, AOC's dance moves and "Masculinity Mondays." We also introduced each other to two trailblazing academics from history and welcomed them into the Hotdog Hall of Fame. (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

S1. Ep. 11: Radical Deliciousness

in , , ,

It almost doesn't feel right to have a chef of this caliber on a show with "hotdog" in the title, but lucky for us, Davena is a culinary populist. In this episode, we talk collard greens, vibrators, "micro-affirmations" and the assumptions we make about lady chefs. We also get to know a hard-core 19th-century feminist left behind by history for being "too radical." (Wait...that's a thing???) (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

S1. Ep. 10: No More Endo, No More Ute

in , , ,

It's the last episode of 2018 and the first Feminist Hotdog threeway! Dynamic duo Shannon and Leanne join me to reflect on the year, talk about their favorite feminist moments (shout out to Brandi Carlile and the Dixie Chicks), and launch their singing careers. We also hear about Shannon's surgical adventures and ponder the mystery of why doctors have such a hard time talking to patients about their vaginas. (Theme music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

S1. Ep. 9: Let's Have a Kiki

in , , ,

In this episode, we learn about the world of artist and writer Christine Sloan Stoddard—a world inhabited by fictional quails, badly blown glass and sparkly clay vulvas among other oddities and delights. We also talk about pushing past disappointment, applaud a new YouTube series for LGBTQ youth, and learn about the woman behind the Bechdel Test. (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

S1. Ep. 8: Home Alone

in , , ,

What happens when you leave Feminist Hotdog all alone with no one to talk to? She starts talking to you! In my first solo show, I share my latest inspiration porn, gush about a new book that seeks to upend white supremacy, and attempt to answer the listener question: Is my bartender racist? (Music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

S1. Ep. 7: I Want to Believe

in , , ,

This week's guest, Chintia Kirana, is an artist with many unique talents. She publishes a magazine, makes her own ink...and she has something in common with Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense. Learn about her vision (artistic and otherwise), and hear how we answered a Dear Feminist Hotdog question that's out of this world. (Theme music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

S1. Ep. 6: Feminists in Bed

in , , ,

It's the day after Thanksgiving—the perfect time to lay around and talk about feminism! This week's episode features "Supreme Nurse" Alice, a modern look at the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, a new travel magazine for women, and musings about what it means if you stop caring about sex. (Theme music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)

S1. Ep. 4: "Is That Santa's Husband?"

in , , ,

Educator, single mother, doctoral student and all-around badass Lauryn joins Feminist Hotdog for a fun-filled look at our favorite feminist Halloween costume of the year, a women-only anti-nuclear protest camp that lasted two decades, and an artist who's still painting daily at the age of 103. Plus, we answer the question: What can we do about mansplaining? (Theme music by Ava Luna and Loyalty Freak Music.)
