    006. Open the Schools

    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 Lit, Luna Oi!, and Revolutionary Th0t. Episode six of Half The Sky will give you insight into our hosts' experiences navigating the US' education system. What propaganda were they fed? How did they BREAK THE CONDITIONING? And what is the purpose of specific decisions made about the overall character of the means by which Americans are educated? Also, stay tuned after the epidsode for some very special outtakes.

    005. Nuke the Family

Episode five of Half The Sky approaches the topic of the nuclear family as an economic unit as well as a site of social reproduction. How did our families impact us politically? What did we learn from them? What did we have to unlearn? What is the origin of the nuclear family? And as always, digressions abound. HTS Instagram Theme Music by DJ DTA

What makes a good date? And is there such a thing as good dating advice? There's plenty of other topics addressed that are directly or peripherally related, so there's plenty of nutritious podcast for every listener. HTS Instagram Theme Music by DJ DTA

    003. I Shaved My Legs For This?

Episode 3 is a thoughtful yet approachable conversation about beauty standards. What does it look like to be objectified? Are there times that objectification can be leveraged beneficially? How do each of the hosts, with their very separate and unique experiences, view their relationship to what they were taught or socialized as children? Is Toe-Man good? Bad? Is advocating for Toe-Man liberalism? All of these questions and more are answered within... HTS Instagram Theme Music by DJ DTA

    002. This Whole Thing Smacks of Gender.

    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 Lit, Luna 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. HTS Instagram Theme Music by DJ DTA

    001. Will Someone Please Think of the Children?!

    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 Lit, Luna Oi!, and Revolutionary Th0t. Episode one of Half The Sky is partly a discussion of why none of our hosts has children, but additionally, would anything change their minds? There are further conversations about the differences between the extremely hostile world that western kids are subjected to, vs the attitude toward mothers and children in Vietnam. And Luna advocates for humans to return to egg-laying like our distant ancestors. HTS Instagram Theme Song by DJ DTA
