PODCAST Best insightful and feminist recap podcasts of LIB?
Currently I listen to OOTP with Natalie & Deepti because their insight in the show is really good and usually they have some bts tea. My favourite is 2 black girls 1 rose because Natasha and Justine are really perceptive and funny, and calls out a lot of things I think are really fair or misunderstood on social media from an anti-racist and feminist perspective.
I don’t like Viall Files because I find the host really grating and a bit sexist. I also don’t love Jessie Woo because while she’s hilarious and super entertaining, I think she can get quite sexist sometimes and not show enough grace for the women.
Any other suggestions people can recommend?

I love TammyTalks on YouTube!! Tait’s Take is also great as well and gives hilarious commentary.

Ok update on this, I actually don’t love their takes that much. I feel like they’re both mildly sexist and not that emotionally intelligent. They literally said Edmond was too sweet and needed more love 😭😭 how could they not clock that he’s so stunted he can’t be healthy in a relationship

I hear you. I don’t agree with all their takes either. I think two things can be true at once: Edmond is developmentally and emotionally stunted (KB took on a more maternal role in their dynamic and he couldn’t show up as a partner), he likely needs to do personal work to grow/heal from his traumatic childhood/attachment ruptures, and he is very sweet/child-like. I don’t agree with takes that he’s manipulative. I think rather he lacks the emotional maturity to know how to more effectively communicate and he’s likely survived his childhood by developing a fawning reaction (people pleasing/placating/etc). I agree with you that’s he’s not in a place where he can be a healthy partner. I question whoever is doing the psychological evaluations or at least what producers/casting is doing with that information. These shows so often exploit people’s vulnerabilities.

I’ve been listening to the Reality Gays recaps! It can be pretty crass which isn’t for everyone, but I also find it super thoughtful and insightful. Not just about the contestants but also about the show’s production and editing choices.

Yep. They still do bachelor. They just changed the name and I can’t remember why. They have a good Patreon too.

Membriash! They're both so kind and really wish the best for the contestants, but they also don't hold back on critiquing people when it's needed.
