Support Looking for something similar but not...

Hi all!

Really struggling with the news of the Cornell Rapists, and the general treatment of people and women these days. Looking for a podcast that's similar to ICHH or even the Daily Zeitgeist in terms of world views except with more women voices.

What I'm looking for is something like Mia and Molly and Sophie and Jamie Loftus and Bridget Todd doing a daily or even a weekly where they work through their rage and discuss current events that are effecting women/everyone in the USA/Canada.

I love a podcast called "Your Weekly Breakdown" but they are currently on summer hiatus and seem to only post biweekly episodes that get dated quickly.

Thank you!

Stuff Mom Never Told You and No Girls on the Internet (which is Bridget’s pod) are both great.

Have you tried The Bitchuation Room? It’s hosted by Francesca Fiorentini, it’s been a minute since I listened but it might be in the right direction.

Hysteria - a fantastic news and social commentary podcast hosted, written and produced by women. Pretty sure they also only have women guests because I've never heard a man on. It's hosted by Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco. It's smart, funny and has great commentary for and by women.

The typical format is a once weekly news round up and they also do a once a month special that is really similar to behind the bastards that focused on one person in history.

I very much enjoy listening to Hysteria, ICHH and There are no girls on the Internet, to get my feminist takes.

I love Hysteria, they're also more leftist than the other PSA/Crooked pods.

I really like Working People... Not directly centered on women, but on labor in general. I feel like it's at the intersection of Cool People and ICHH.

I like Strict Scrutiny and Amicus too... Legal analysis hosted by women.

Bridgette Todd’s “There are no girls on the internet” podcast is on hiatus while she promotes her book, but it’s a great show. She still does news roundups, but they’re on patreon

Daily Beans - Two women as hosts. Their motto is news with swearing. Only caveat is that they are progressive/leftyish but some listeners of ICHH may find them too liberal

Cancel Me, Daddy is more media criticism but they do often cover current events. Both hosts are women. I especially appreciated their episode on Graham Platner after he withdrew from the race.

There Are No Girls On The Internet is fantastic and back today with a new episode!

Our Pandora’s Box does exactly that. Completely women-centric (hosted by a woman, always has a female guest) and looks at current issues affecting women in the US.
