Half the Sky is an attempt to provide a perspective often lacking from the podcast space: that of women (and women-adjacent folks). If and when those voices are present, they are quite often offset by their dude counterparts. And so (at least on the mic) HTS is a bro-free zone.

Our hosts on this very special audio journey are Rae of ProlesPod, Jen (Big Nasty) of How the Red Was Won, Lenore from Workers LitLuna Oi!, and Revolutionary Th0t.

Episode two of Half The Sky is an in-depth conversation about the nature of gender. How does one acquire such a thing? What are we as materialists to make of an essentially vibes-based concept? What caused our hosts to become radicalized regarding gender? And what does it mean to extract the positionality from the identity? Heady stuff, folks. But just to make sure you don't feel overwhelmed, the gang also diverts into plenty of ADHD-fueled sidequests.
