Episode 28 - New season, same feminist principles

Brothers-in-law Sam Martin and Jamie Hoggart are just two great guy and the FeMANism podcast is their way of ensuring that the fight for equality is in capable, cis male hands. Jamie and Sam are played by female comedians Samantha Martin and Amy Hoggart, with their voices digitally altered. In this week’s episode The boys reintroduce themselves to anyone catching up with the pod. Sam shares updates on how it’s going now that he’s qualified to be his own marriage counsellor in a money-saving exercise, and Jamie needs a feminist way to call off an engagement to a woman he’s not attracted to. If you like this week's episode, why not catch up on our 27 other great episodes, some with characters played by fantastic guests including Lou Sanders, Ed Gamble, Jenny Bede, Cariad Lloyd, Sarah Daykin and Ethan Lawrence.

Amy and Sam are two friends who met 10 years ago in a TV writer's room and have worked together on many fun projects since then. A lot of these are 10-page TV treatments that never got anywhere -- but it turns out they can’t stop you from making a podcast!!!
