Welcome to The Feminist Files!
As the podcast turns 2 years old, we are looking back on how we've grown, and on the conversations we have explored on the topics of foreign policy and diplomacy, AI and technology, activism, education, the justice system, healthcare, culture and the creative industries, and many more!
In their final year at the University of Cambridge, Helena Kondak and Astrid Healy-Carrasco founded The Feminist Files podcast within Gender Agenda, the university's feminist collective. Two years later, the podcast has grown to a team of students and graduates from Cambridge and beyond, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to plan, research, script, record, edit, promote, and publish episodes every week.
We were honoured to win Student Podcast of the Year at the 2026 Political Podcast Awards, and it has been wonderful to be recognised in the wider podcasting scene. Above all, our aim remains to democratise feminist discussion, and while the manosphere floods our feeds, we want to offer an alternative space for thoughtful, well-researched conversations about gender that everyone can access free of charge.
We would like to give a massive thank you to our listeners, who now tune in from over 105 countries and territories. We never imagined the podcast would travel this far, and we are so grateful to everyone who continues to support us!
And thank you to everyone who has contributed to the podcast over the years. Your invaluable work has made the podcast what it is today, and we are so excited for what is to come!
With love and solidarity, The Feminist Files team <3
