America’s sweetheart - or the face of a quiet eugenics campaign? In this episode, we unpack the new Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle ad that’s been praised by the right as a return to “traditional American values” — and why it has people whispering about the Great Replacement Theory.
From Trump chiming in to say he “loves it” to online conservatives treating Sydney like the poster girl for “healthy, white motherhood,” we explore how fashion branding becomes soft propaganda, how the ad taps into white nationalist aesthetics, and why it’s never just denim.

Why has something as natural as menstruation been shrouded in shame, secrecy, and silence for centuries? In this episode, Alesha from The Bizarre AF joins me as we trace the blood trail through history - from ancient cultures that worshipped the menstrual cycle to the rise of patriarchal systems that demonized and medicalized it. We’ll dive into strange period-related conspiracy theories (including the belief that menstrual blood holds magical powers), examine how capitalism and colonialism shaped menstrual taboos, and ask the real question: who benefits from menstrual shame?

Elvira coming out shocked me! I never even heard anything about her being gay.
WOMEN not WOMAN. That's the only thing I don't like about your pod.
Michael Sheen KIND OF reminds me of Rik Mayal looks wise.
I really appreciate your wording of "children" and "girls", not young women, when referring to the survivors.
I think i need more of this ;)
