bell hooks & Jars

By: Sam Cook & Danushi Rajapakse
  • Summary

  • Danushi and Sam use their giant brains and pop-culture knowledge to connect our passions for women’s (and nbs) rights and women’s wrongs. It’s gender studies, philosophy and academia, but also not gender studies, philosophy and academia at all. Each episode we share some bite sized introductory feminist theory and also deliver a huge serving of some sweet sweet pop culture knowledge. Who says that being smart is mutually exclusive with being a Gemma Collins stan? Not us!

Episodes
  • You’ll Have to Kill Us Before Heroin Chic Comes Back
    Nov 20 2022

    TW (discussion of eating disorders, fatphobia, diet culture) begins 15:30, but we’d like to say here, as Sam said in the recording, that if you do have a history of eating disorders we encourage you to listen, there is no explicitly triggering content in the podcast (e.g. we do not describe behaviour explicitly and there is no discussion of numbers [i.e. weight or calories]).

    20:00 Sam knows that it's 500 pounds a year but Sam at this moment decided to try adjusting for inflation on the fly and apparently this was close ish to the 2014 figure of what 500 pounds in 1929 would be, according to this.

    26:10 The Maintenance Phase (Sam’s favourite podcast that has been very important to their recovery)

    28:00

    - The Obesity Epidemic episode of TMP

    - BMI episode of TMP

    29:40

    - Our Met Gala Video episode xoxooxo

    51:54 - 52:30 EXTRA TW: Sam mentions something they did when they were in their ED, not numbers but a sad and real thing

    55:30 - Sam is continuing to own the statement that they have pretty privilege. They know this might come across weirdly, but like no it’s true, don’t @ me.

  • Everything! Everywhere! All at Once!
    Nov 1 2022

    We don't talk about that movie but this is our grand podcast return where we discuss so many things. Sam thinks the episode is funny. We hope you agree. We did zero editing. You're getting raw, uncut content.
