Feminist Survival Podcast
By Emily Nagoski
A podcast for feminists who feel overwhelmed and exhausted by everything they need to do, and still worry that we're not doing enough - hosted by Emily and Amelia Nagoski, authors of BURNOUT: the secret to unlocking the stress cycle.

63: How to Listen to Your Body (Addendum)
Is Emily Amelia's Loki Variant or is Amelia *Emily's* Loki Variant??
Sometimes your body lies to you, so it’s very on theme that it turns out we lied about this series ending last week. Mild spoilers for Loki, if you are planning to watch it.

Mini-Episode: How to Coronavirus
Worried about the Coronavirus? Luckily, Emily has a background in public health and can explain it.
This is an episode for people who aren’t at high risk, to talk about why and how they can help make the world safer for people who are at risk.
Spoiler warning: Wash your hands.
PS: Edited to add when Emily listened to this mini-episode, she realized they didn’t make it crystal clear that it’s not just age but also health issues that make people vulnerable. People of any age can have respiratory issues, diabetes or cardiovascular disease, all three of which are known to increase severity of symptoms if a person gets COVID-19.
