    Pseudo-intellectual
    The content isn’t that wholesome or compelling. They talk about serious issues and hit on some points but equally hit on points that edge on identity politics conspiracy theories and unimportant topics.
  • ashleyepyne
    Yes
    I loved the anthology and was sad when I was done reading. This podcast allows me to get a weekly daily dose. Love love love.
  • Feminomaly
    Can't recommend enough
    This is the podcast I've been waiting for to help me make sense of and better frame the current state of affairs in the US after Trump's questionably legitimate election. Thank you so much to the hosts for creating it and to all of the amazing and thoughtful guests who bring their unique viewpoints to the show.
  • lil_miss_smiley
    Hell yeah, nasty women!
    I stumbled upon this podcast when I was browsing through the Podcast app the other day, and I am SO happy that I did! These incredible women are bringing light to a very dark world, and so far they’ve chosen really fantastic guests! I love that they aren’t afraid to tackle the tough subjects, and that they aren’t shying away from the big issues.
  • Elle Martin
    This is what I needed
    I am loving this podcast. I heard about it via the Nasty Women book tour. I'm glad I'm not alone!
  • RocketPetals
    Just can't
    I wanted to like this, but as another reviewer said, this is just another "chat show". I don't have much time to spend listening to podcasts, so if I'm going to listen I want content. Didn't find it here.
  • Biglittlewoman
    Love it!
    We need more podcasts like this!

    Annoying and Irrelevant
    I tried..i reallly tried to listen to these windbags but I just couldn't make it. The one trans-chick's voice is nasal and seems to be trying to hard. The other chick doesn't really offer anything new. Same old tired points without really any substance. There are better things out there.
  • Shanegrey
    Too soon
    Maybe in 2058 we'll be ready for a "podcast" like this.
  • JohnG4
    Just another interview show
    For a strong start, it quickly devolved into just another uncurated interview show. No new opinions are offered here, nor is a relevant discussion made. It makes no attempt to reach out to new audiences, and for that, I find it remarkably indistinguishable from all other shows of s similar bent. It is the epitome of a feminist echo-chamber.
  • femininomenon!
    Ummm like literally!
    I don’t want to $h*t on this podcast’s message but these very smart women need to communicate without using the words “like” “umm” and “literally”. Please just clean up the talk. It’s making these conversations sound “juvenile.”
  • Lawnmowerbear19
    Haha
    How can you talk for 30 minutes and say nothing? Good luck with this!
  • Nonword
    One more way to fight the patriarchy
    Fun, funny, and on-point. The smart women of twitter. Listen & buy the book, too.
  • Luluboos46
    Love it.
    Stay nasty ladies.

    Please ditch Modcloth as a Sponsor
    I love Samhita so much and was really excited about this podcast. Unfortnuately, 11 minutes in I am subjected to the ad for Modcloth. I used to love Modcloth, but, they are now owned by Wal-Mart and I can not be part of anything that gives Wal-Mart more of the country's wealth. Drop Modcloth as a sponsor and I'll be back in a heart beat.

    Just starting out
    I feel like I would be the perfect audience for this, and yet.... This is based off the first episode, which is the only ep currently available at the time of this review. We start off strong with some really valid points about the sexual revolution and Hugh Hefner's memory, and then somehow slide into getting advice on how to practice "unplugging" and numbing oneself to the outside world by watching the Bachelor. Watching TV is an interesting interpretation of unplugging - also, the idea of giving advice on how to numb yourself to real world issues in a podcast slanted towards feminism is a direction I personally wouldn't take, or seek out. It's counter productive, especially when you have a platform here to say some really important things and reach a lot of people. There are so many strong topics this podcast could have started with, seriously, so many! And it started really strong! If they had just continued in that vein I think my review would be different. Somehow this opening episode rings hollow for me. This topic of unplugging is the wrong tone to start off with, that being, I'm not sure why turning off twitter in favor of "garbage tv" is a feminist issue. Hopefully the next episodes will cover intersectional topics that are an important part of our current global discussion. I'm willing to give it some time to find its feet.
