The Guilty Feminist is a feminist comedy podcast hosted by Deborah Frances-White. Created by Frances-White and Sofie Hagen in 2015, the podcast features guests on a panel to discuss topics on and related to feminism, and is recorded in front of a live audience.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The podcast was created by Deborah Frances-White and Sofie Hagen in December 2015.[1] The idea for the podcast came from the pair having lunch together and often sharing their hypocrisies and double standards with each other.[2] Hagen and Frances-White co-hosted the podcast until September 2016 when Hagen left; since then a range of guests have co-hosted each episode. The podcast is recorded in front of a live audience and each episode lasts approximately 45 minutes.[3][4]

Each episode begins with short stories starting with the words "I'm a feminist, but...", with the episode's hosts admitting to moments where they have done or thought something that an ideal feminist wouldn't.[1][5] Episodes are based around a theme; topics of discussion have included stereotypes, hair removal, periods, and not having children.[6][7][8][9] The presenters set themselves weekly challenges,[9] and at the end of each episode audience members are invited to ask the panel questions.[2]

The show has featured guests such as Shappi Khorsandi,[2] Gemma Arterton,[10] Dawn O'Porter, and Aisling Bea.[6] Frances-White aims to create diverse and inclusive panels of guests.[2]

Reception[edit | edit source]

The podcast was shortlisted for an Internet Award in the 2017 Chortle Awards and nominated for Best Podcast in the 2017 Audio & Radio Industry Awards.[11][12] In The Guardian's 2017 list of best podcasts, Kathryn Bromwich listed The Guilty Feminist as one of her six favourite podcasts in the 'sex, life and relationships' category.[9]
