Feminist Fandom

From the Bitch Media podcast series called Popaganda, we present two segments about fandom – one on the cult around a U.S. Supreme Court Justice known affectionately as The Notorious RBG, followed by an interview with an avid feminist gamer.

Featured speakers/guests:

Sarah Mirk, online editor of Bitch Media; Ruth Bader Ginsburg, U.S. Supreme Court Justice; Irin Carmon, MSNBC reporter and co-author of Notorious RBG; Latoya Peterson, owner and editor of Racialicious, journalist and gamer.
