Coming to you from the London Podcast Festival: The Guilty Feminist presents Media Storm’s debut show, live from King’s Place! Presented by journalists Mathilda Mallinson and Helena Wadia, Media Storm is a news podcast that starts with the people who are normally asked last. From migrants to sex workers, trans to indigenous people, convicted criminals to Romani communities— Media Storm puts people with lived experience at the centre of their stories. In this bonus episode, Mathilda and Helena welcome comedians Deborah Frances-White and Isabelle Farah to discuss comedy's cultural power, comedians getting 'cancelled', and if and when jokes can go 'too far'...

It’s a common feeling: the desire to stand firmly for equality while also catching yourself in moments that don’t quite live up to that ideal. The Guilty Feminist tackles that very human contradiction head-on, with humor and honesty. Hosted by comedian and Writers’ Guild Award winner Deborah Frances-White, this live-audience podcast creates a space where the grand ambitions of modern feminism meet the messy, sometimes hilarious realities of everyday life. Each episode features conversations with guests where they explore not just the principles they champion, but the personal hypocrisies and insecurities that can trip them up. The result is a comedy podcast that feels more like a candid conversation among friends-one where laughter is just as important as the lesson. You’ll hear discussions that are both thought-provoking and genuinely funny, all rooted in the understanding that trying to be better is a process, not a perfect performance. Deborah Frances-White guides these explorations with wit and warmth, making complex topics accessible and relatable. Tuning in means joining a community that doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but is committed to asking the right questions, together.
