Good Podcasts aimed at women

what memorabilia will you get from a podcast vs some nazi shoes at a garage sale
Oh no question. I have yet to see True Crime podcast merch that doesn't use a lame catch phrase or a godawful pun. But hey, I won't complain about a free podcast selling lame t-shirts.

I’ll probably get a Joe Rogan shirt to see how many bug men are integrating near my area. I moved out of one city which I hated and live in a rural area right next to a city which I’m also beginning to hate.
 
Part of it is that women are generally very interested in human social interactions, even the very abnormal ones. Another part of it is the same reason people have a fascination with horror movies and horror fiction - some kind of weird brain thing that takes the edge off horrible shit when you read about/watch it in a safe setting. Women are the main victims in the most notorious true crime and serial killer stories, and are drawn to them with morbid fascination.
To be fair men do a similar thing but with war stories, it's the reason NatGeo and friends will be producing documentaries about WW2 and the Nazis well into the next millennium.
Interesting, I was also wondering the same thing. Many woman I know also watch True Crime podcasts and I never stopped to think about why until now.

Yeah, a TRE therapist explained this me once and it makes a lot of sense. Apparently he had some patients who went through legit horrible stuff and they sought out body-horror movies and such because that gave them some weird subconscious sense of relief or calm. The human psyche is very strange.
 
I just started this one last night and if you'll forgive the reaction image:

It's got psychotic stalkers, fringe Christianity mixed with paganism, restraining orders, and as of the most recent episode, a possible troon saga.
The writers and host are also a bit too sympathetic to the psychos, which makes it good if you need something to help you work out (or play Elden Ring) because you're gonna want to punch something.



Editing to add another recommendation.
Listen to this if you want to get frustrated.

Yes, here are three that I personally really like:

Crime Weekly with Stephanie Harlowe and Derick Levasseur
True Crime Garage
Trace Evidence

YMM of course, depending on how much you like/dislike the presenters and their voices, but all three at least focus on cases and keep the unrelated catty gossip to a minimum.
Crime weekly is so good. Stephanie Harlowe is awesome. I was really interested in her (maybe like four or five years ago) YouTube channel because I loved her speaking voice because it’s so calming and feminine. Now, I feel like she’s really come into her own as a true crime host. She does such a good job with her research and her respect for the victims of crime. Adding Derek to the mix as a voice with insight into the crime world makes the podcast SO GOOD.
 
I mentioned Sheila Gregoire in the Quiverfull/Fundie thread and how awesome she is about discussing issues about how the church teaches sex and sexuality, talking about and debunking partriarchal teachings of the church and purity culture, and the damage it has caused for both men and women from a Christian perspective and how it isn't as biblical as these cults think it is.

Well, she has a podcast called Bare Marriage (Formerly to Love, Honor, and Vacuum) where she looks at and reviews a lot of evangelical/fundie best seller books on relationships and sexuality and dating and stuff and analyzes them among other things. She has done stuff like Love and Respect, Every Man's Battle, Sheet Music, Debbie Pearl's book, and more.

She also often has her daughter on who does a lot of psychology research and has actually done a study on 20,000 Christian married women on what they believe, what they were taught, and how it affects them and their sex life and has done a similar study on Christian men and are working on getting their research published. Her husband who is an obstetrician also comes on and talks a lot when they do episodes on books aimed at men and talks about what the church teaches about masculinity and how hurtful it is to men as they made it so they often don't know the difference from noticing a woman is attractive and lust and makes them out like beasts who can't control themselves.

If you were raised conservative Christian or are into laughing at fundies and Christian cults, this is definitely the podcast for you, I love her book analysis episodes, usually she has a theme of an episode and reads passages from Christian best sellers and critiques them. She doesn't try to convert you, infact, she totally understands that people who have been burned by the church walk away and though it saddens her she understands and respects that if that is what it takes to heal.
 
I like mindless drama and escapism in a podcast, my favorite is Trashy Divorces. It’s about messy high profile relationships.

The hosts are progressive liberals but not to the point it’s annoying to me. They present more research than opinions and stay on topic, it’s less meandering than a lot of podcast tend to be.
 
Really Graceful is a nice youtube channel that used to do make-up and then veered into conspiracies.

My question is why are women so addicted to murder podcasts
Part of it is that women are generally very interested in human social interactions, even the very abnormal ones
I think women are fascinated with perpetrators of violence. And when I say fascinated I mean aroused.

So it’s basically gold diggers complaining about Jews and and their wealthy shabbos buttgoys
 
I’m playing into the typical womanly interests. I’ve loved true crime since I was a kid, but the only true crime podcast I can stand is Casefile. I’ve tried giving true crime garage a chance, but it’s too much for me, I guess. I want “just the facts, ma’am” not anyones opinion on it.

But there are some great suggestions here that I’m going to have to check out
 
I've recently been into another podcast that's part of the same network as the Last Podcast on the Left called Some Where Under Neith.

It's two women doing long form, deep dive episodes on topics such as the murder of Susan Powell, Ghislaine Maxwell's history and arrest, and Shelly Miscavige's past and disappearance. They have a six part series on the Duggar family, their son Josh, and the IBLP in general that I think is interesting to listen to if you don't normally follow other fundiesnark-like media. Recently they've started a series on Appalacha and it's missing girls and women, with the most recent episode talking about the 2021 disappearance of Summer Wells.
 
A lot of popular podcasters are too woke for my taste, but I have a few favorites. Mad at the Internet is essential for any farmer, but I actually prefer to watch it on YouTube rather than listen. Blocked and Reported is another farmer essential — I’m pretty sure Katie Herzog reads here. I also really enjoy Female Dating Strategy and Female Political Strategy. Feminist Current, the FiLia Podcast, Woman by Definition, and The Same Drugs are TERF essentials, even though I’m not crazy about Meghan Murphy as a host/interviewer. I enjoy Leaving Eden for a glimpse into fundie lunacy, Maintenance Phase and The Fuck It Podcast for talk about diet culture, and I have a lot more on my list that were recommended to me but that I haven’t had a ton of time to listen to yet (Fucking Cancelled, I Pray You Put This Journal Away, Sawbones, Femsplainers). Some that I used to really enjoy before they went too far left were QAnon Anonymous and Behind the Bastards (they just did an episode on Chris and called him HER, said Null was a Nazi, how far the mighty have fallen) — you might want to check out old episodes. I have a long commute so I listen to a lot of podcasts.
 
Not to make you do too much work, but can you elevator pitch the following please?
Blocked and Reported is talked about a lot here, especially in the troon threads. It’s hosted by Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog, who are notorious transphobes, according to Twitter. The focus of the podcast is basically on internet and media drama, particularly involving Twitter.

The FiLia Podcast, Woman by Definition, and The Same Drugs are radical feminist/TERF podcasts. Woman by Definition is hosted by Posie Parker and The Same Drugs is hosted by Meghan Murphy. FiLia is a radical feminist group out of the UK. All of these podcasts are going to focus on various issues under the umbrella of radical feminism, such as gender, domestic violence, surrogacy, court cases, and news.

The Fuck It Podcast comes from the Fuck It Diet, a book by Caroline Dooner. It focuses largely on eating disorder recovery, which is unfortunately all too common amongst women. She expanded the podcast a few years back to cover related topics.

I’d had this bookmarked and finally listened to the Twin Flame podcast. I enjoyed it, thanks for the recommendation! The Trooning Saga was quite a bizarre twist.

I was never into podcasts until I realized they keep me entertained while I’m cleaning. Another one I listened to recently was “The Gateway,” which is about Teal Swan’s self help cult. I wasn’t really a fan of the host, but it did lead me to watch the Hulu docuseries called “The Deep End” which I found to be a much better dive into her insanity.
 
Resurrecting this thread because podcasts r important

Some of my favorites:
  • Female Political Strategy
    • Brought to you by the ladies behind the Female Dating Strategy (also a fun podcast). I like FPS better, though unfortunately there haven't been any new episodes since May 2022. Fun discussions of current political issues that concern women, with such juicy titles as "Sometimes Violence is the Answer: 35 million surplus Chinese & Indian Men struggle to find wives & a purpose", "Elon Musk's tech bro fanboys think your womb is inefficient & holding back gender equality", and "Should men be allowed to have money?"
  • Probably Cancelled Podcast
    • The host is a slow, monotone, mega-communist who's into woo (she promotes homebirthing and witchcraft), but she brings on incredible guests and asks good questions so I have to love her pod. Her episodes with anti-porn youth educator Daniel Principe & and sex trade abolitionist Elly Arrow were particularly great. Also enjoyed the episodes on Breast Implant Illness and the Sugar Baby Scam
  • Red Scare
    • The 2 hosts are also quite slow and monotone, I can't tell their voices apart, and sometimes they devolve into word salad (they use lots of big words and concepts don't always flow in a logical way) but I like their topics which have included atypical anorexia (lol), roe v wade, groomers, patriarchy, return of the taliban, and autism. I'm a new listener and their politics are still kinda unclear to me, they seem radfem yet antifeminist, sexual yet trad, but definitely more right-leaning. But I like that they're kinda hard to figure out and they don't seem to give a shit about offending anyone on either side.
  • Sounds Like a Cult
    • Momfluencers, Starbucks, Taylor Swift, Rupaul's Drag Race, weddings, Kardashians, fast fashion, plastic surgery, skincare, crossfit.... everything is a cult but we can laugh at it
  • Two Idiot Girls
    • Drew Afualo and her sister discuss Tiktok, fanfics, dating horror stories, celeb crushes, icks, and more
    • The Comment Section is Drew's other podcast where she roasts men who leave mean comments on her videos, also quite funny

Too bad this thread is a year + dead. I'm just here because Google Podcasts is going to die, and this is after my other podcast player died about three months ago. I did some searching around the Internet for a good app but still not seeing any recs jump out at me.

On another note, did find in a reddit post someone complain that a particular favorite app only went up to 3x the speed. Some people razzed him about it but he says he has trouble keeping up with all the podcasts. I can't even find that many to listen to that I'd ever need them to speed up, and even at normal speed I have to rewind often for comprehension. There's no way he remembers a fraction of what he's hearing.
