Do you notice anything different?
Lisa and I did some brainstorming about this podcast . We decided that it’s probably in the best interest of the podcast to do a little rebranding. I personally feel extremely passionate about the notion of reclaiming the word Bitch. I am a pretty rabid feminist at this point, like to consider myself an ally, and am constantly learning how to be a better human. Lisa is a proud Queer with a passion for world history as well as Civil Rights and Equality. We obviously both have existential rage of a feminist flavor and want to push against the limitations placed on us by society.
However... seeing as how AI and all of the powerful institutions are still essentially run by the patriarchy, ridiculous conservatism and poorly applied political correctness (insert eye rolls here!), particularly in regards to language, it is nearly impossible to market the podcast with the name “Bitchstory”. So we decided to compromise on our steadfast Bitchery and tweak the name.
Introducing - Re-Feminist History! You've heard of "revisionist history", I'm sure. It's one of the buzzwords of our time. Well we are having a little revision of our own! We will continue to uncover history's forgotten badasses, sing its unsung heroes, and proclaim the names that the history books "forgot" - and, we have fun doing it! We swear a little, we (meaning Kelly) use poorly executed foreign accents, we laugh, and we learn a LOT! So please join us in our own revisionist history - Re-feminist History!
Still available on Spotify, Apple, IHeart, Podbay, Podchaser, and frankly, almost anywhere you get your podcasts! Still publishing every other week. Still feminist as fuck.
Enjoy, please leave us a great review, and please share with a friend!
