Come to a live recording of The Guilty Feminist podcast…
Shedinburgh at the Young Vic
Since 2016, The Guilty Feminist podcast has racked up over 180 million downloads by examining the noble goals of 21st century feminism and the hypocrisies and insecurities that undermine them. It’s the show that proves you don’t have to be perfect to be a force for meaningful change.
This will be a special stripped-back version of the hit podcast, reimagined for Shedinburgh.
The Guilty Feminist – Road to Gilead
Join us for a night where we discuss the far right and figure out how to get off “the Road to Gilead” (the dystopian Handmaid’s future). We want to form a meaningful resistance and create a better existence. But how? This episode focuses on American Christian nationalism and how it’s seeping into British churches and society. We will discuss its anti-equality agenda that seeks to permanently subjugate women, people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community and people at the intersections of these groups. This includes the rising US-based campaign to remove the vote from women and “give it to the family.” And what role does big tech and AI play in all of this?
We need to get wise to the well-funded strategies in place that are changing our society without our permission.
On our panels:
- Zack Polanski: leader of the Green Party
- Baroness Barker: Liberal Democrat peer
- Chine McDonald: Head of Theos and author
- Katherine Stewart: world expert on Christian nationalism and New York Times bestselling author of Money, Lies and God
Deborah Frances-White hosts the show, with comedian Desiree Burch.
