‘Declare Yourself a Problem’: How to Get Real Menopause Care
Last episode, Imani Gandy brought a pile of menopause questions and no theory. This week, she’s taking her questions to Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, author of When in Menopause: A User’s Manual & Citizen’s Guide. Weiss-Wolf explains what to write down before an appointment, why to book a standalone visit, and what to say when your doctor dismisses your symptoms or says you watch too many videos on TikTok. They also get into why Black women often get inadequate care, why your mom and your aunts should hear what you’re learning, and why Gen X is blowing open the menopause conversation for good.

Nobody Told Me Menopause Would Feel Like This
Nobody told Imani Gandy menopause could make your ears itch. Or might give you hives. Or that the dark, intrusive thoughts she started having might be related to hormones. She’s covered reproductive rights and justice for 15 years, and she still found herself figuring it out on her own. She’s betting there’s a lot that you probably don’t know either. So Imani is breaking her own show format. No theory, just questions. Next episode, she takes them to Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, author of the new book When in Menopause: A User’s Manual & Citizen’s Guide.This episode discusses suicidal ideation.

The Athletes Up In Arms Over A Nonexistent Trans WNBA Player
There's no trans woman in the WNBA. And still, Sophie Cunningham, Enes Kanter Freedom, and a fresh crop of Caitlin Clark “fans” are acting like the league's about to collapse. In the last episode, I said this fight is really about who owns the league. This week, Portia Burch, anti-racism and decolonization consultant, 30-year WNBA fan, and my girlfriend, explains why my theory's right—but too small. We get into the myth that Clark saved the league, the career moves hiding behind the manufactured panic, the Black and queer cis players catching transphobic strays.

There's No Trans Woman in the WNBA. That's the Point.
There are no trans women in the WNBA; and no known history of them ever having played in the league. So how did Sophie Cunningham and Enes Kanter Freedom become the faces of a movement to “protect” women’s sports? Imani Gandy follows the manufactured panic to the fight underneath it: who built the league, who thinks they saved it, and who gets to define what it stands for.

What Can 24 Governors Do Together for Abortion Access?
In this episode of B*tch, Listen, Imani Gandy has a theory: Medicaid coverage for abortion collapses first, even in states where Democrats hold power. Christina Chang, who runs Reproductive Freedom Alliance, the 24-governor coalition fighting to keep abortion access alive post-Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, isn't so sure it's about abortion specifically, but rather funding for the poor generally. Gandy and Chang get into what the alliance has accomplished: shield laws protecting providers, states funding abortion out of their own pockets, and strategy sharing among alliance members. Then, Gandy brings up Michigan, a Democratic trifecta that still couldn't fund abortion coverage—but Chang isn't ready to call it a pattern.

The Right to an Abortion Doesn't Actually Pay for An Abortion
In this solo episode of B*tch, Listen, Imani Gandy asks what it means to protect abortion rights on paper when people can't afford to use them in practice. Her theory: Funding is the first thing a coalition gives up, because funding for abortion can be capped and watered down in a way a constitutional amendment can't. Most states in the nonpartisan Reproductive Freedom Alliance coalition now cover abortion through Medicaid—but Michigan shows how fast that coverage gets negotiable when the votes are tight.

‘Daily Show’ Co-Creator Talks ‘Anger Fluffing’ and Making Abortion Funny on Purpose
In this episode of B*tch, Listen, Imani Gandy tests her theory that the best political humor doesn’t win arguments—but instead changes what people think deserves to be taken seriously in the first place—with Lizz Winstead, co-creator of The Daily Show and founder of Abortion Access Front. Winstead agrees with most of Gandy’s theory, but complicates it: Is the point of political comedy to build an audience, or to build a movement? And what happens to all that comedy-fueled outrage when it has nowhere left to go? Winstead has a name for that: anger fluffing. And she finds it pointless.

(Classic) Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
In this classic episode part two of her series on true crime and disability, Imani Gandy interviews Dateline correspondent Josh Mankiewicz about true crime as a machine that decides whose stories get told—and whose don’t. From missing Black women, to missing and murdered Indigenous people, to the near invisibility of disabled victims, they talk about what true crime shows—and what it leaves out. Because attention itself is a form of power. (And yes, there’s a Bill Hader moment.) Expert Repro Journalism That Inspires.Episodes like this take time, research, and a commitment to the truth.
