It's like The View, but we don't have free copies of The Blind Side on DVD to give away. And even if we did, we probably wouldn't distribute them.


Welcome back to another episode of Bitch Popaganda! Tune in as Kjerstin, Shaamini, and Kelsey discuss the ins and outs (zing!) of Fucking While Feminist, the (Re)Birth of Venus Zine, and Liz Lemon vs. Leslie Knope. Plus: Bitch Faves!



You can listen to the podcast right here, or you can subscribe to Bitch Media on iTunes to download it and listen on the go. (The episode is also available at archive.org.) Faves and links after the jump!
