Sofia and I met over a year ago, but it wasn’t until we went abroad that
we saw how much we had to talk about. We are both radical thinkers and
spend considerable time connecting our education to identity and systems
of oppression. It was three weeks ago that we began reflecting on how
the academic sphere isolates radicals. Being that woman who’s
always (seemingly) talking about gender, racism, classism, can undermine
the degree to which people hear what you have to say. Studying in
environments where radical perspectives are not the mainstream can be
corrosive to free expression and communication. While this podcast is
many things, it is not a place where radical thinking will be patronized
or passively dismissed. You will not hear the showrunners say “but
certainly not everything can be about ______.” We will never ask “Why
are you so angry?” or say “let’s think about this more objectively.” This podcast is a forum for strong opinions and honest conversations. Please message us with questions on Facebook, follow us on Tumblr and Soundcloud.
Bra Burning + Buzzcuts has been a long time coming. It's very exciting to be experimenting with radio and exploring feminist topics with a new friend. If you get the chance, check it out.
