Fainting Couch Feminists Episode 30: It’s Christmas and I’m Overthinking Everything

Mica was going to do a fun, light-hearted, holiday-themed episode but that didn’t really end up happening. A recent nighttime interaction with a male stranger prompts her to recount times she has trusted strangers ill-advisedly. Anecdotes include: the time she was felt-up in a movie theatre and the time she followed a man into a bathroom naively because he had a “secret” he wanted to “share.” The episode concludes with an environmentalist rant and the most depressing Christmas song of all time, The Cat Carol.

Writer and musician Mica Lemiski interviews women and non-binary artists about a range of topics (gender! politics! love! literature!) in a podcast best-suited to bitches, witches, and anyone who’s ever been called “hysterical.”

This episode is best enjoyed with a large hot buttered rum and a cheap elf hat worn ironically.
