The Roxane Gay Agenda

By: Roxane Gay
  • Summary

  • The Roxane Gay Agenda is the *bad feminist* podcast of your dreams. It’s writer Roxane Gay in conversation with guests who have something necessary to say about the issues that matter most to her–and hopefully to you as well. On the Agenda: feminism, race, writing, art, pop culture, food, and, of course, politics. If you enjoy hearing from people–women, mostly; Black women, usually–who bring unique perspectives to a world in complete and utter chaos, put this show on your own agenda.

Roxanne Gay is a treasure

I love Roxanne’s varied interests, curiosity, and intelligence combined with a strong sense of justice which is deeply affected by so much injustice. She does so much important work in reevaluating cultural norms and quirks. Often somehow with a laugh and a smile!
