Episode Notes

Feminism can be a loaded word in the Pacific. So let's talk about it. Host Elvina Ogil (Who Asked Her?) brings together Elsie Molou (The Round Table) and Mere Nailatikau (Two Fishes / Vosa) for a candid talanoa about what feminism means in their communities — the influence of culture and Christianity, taboo topics, women in politics, and being shamed into silence. And at the heart of it all: what does it mean to make a feminist podcast in this context? How do you use the mic to create space for conversations your community maybe isn't quite ready to have yet? Pull up a chair and join us.
