About this show

Join comedian Deborah Frances-White and guests for stand-up and conversation in a special episode of The Guilty Feminist, part of our Road to Gilead Project. The Handmaid's Tale flashbacks look like scenes in the USA today. The far right across the world is organised, connected and well funded, and has been gaining ground in the UK, looking to strip back our rights. We can make a U-turn on this road, but we need to start now! Join the joyful resistance today. Recent guests include Annie Lennox, Gillian Anderson, Desiree Burch, Sindhu Vee, Hannah Spencer and Zack Polanski.
