Opinionated Wed, 29 Oct 2025 02:22:36 +0000 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 02:22:36 +0000 Libsyn RSSgen 1.0 http://opinionated.libsyn.com http://opinionated.libsyn.com A podcast to discuss all things feminist, from gender politics to pop culture. Hosts Amanda Marcotte (Pandagon) and Samhita Mukhopadhyay (Feministing) comb over the news and spend one hour a week dissecting items that aren’t getting the mainstream media coverage they deserve. When the mainstream media isn’t ignoring important stories about gender issues, they’re providing piss-poor coverage. We can’t fix that problem, but we can aim some sarcasm in its general direction while informing the self-selected smarty-pants Citizen Radio crew. The show will feature news, digressions about music nerding, and interviews with some of the coolest and sharpest feminist minds of our digital age. https://static.libsyn.com/p/assets/6/b/2/b/6b2b17a6e219405a/opinionatedlogo.jpg Opinionated yes episodic feminism no The Feminists You Were Warned About A Terrifying Tidal Wave of Pussy A Terrifying Tidal Wave of Pussy Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:58:00 +0000 All about pussies this week!
