Femme On
The Femme on Show is a podcast collective hosting lively discussions about pop culture and whatever the heck interests us while placing the female gaze front and center. Hosts Ada, Alyson, Jess, Ria and Tonya bring their unique voices to a variety of passions that include books, film, TV, feminism, comics, fitness, activism and so much more. Our channel includes some chats with all of us and specialized ones in our specific areas of interest. It's a cornucopia of ideas with what we hope has some levity and community thrown in. The Femme on Collective is a safe and welcoming space for everyone. Come join us.
As one part of Femme on, any member of the collective can host a Femme on Creatives, where we discuss different topics that fascinate us with people we admire. It's one of Alyson's favorite things to do!

Fine Cut
11"I thought it would be fun to sit around with some of my brilliant friends and talk about a scene that makes you think."
Fine Cut with Alyson, keeps it brief and meaningful with episodes around 20 minutes long. Alyson and a guest closely read a scene of the guest's choosing from movies, TV, comic books, novels, any media really as a way to have a deeper conversion about a topic that's meaningful to them. There will be laughter and revelations, of course! And if there's a compelling scene you'd like to discuss, one that sticks with you and won't let you go, reach out, I'd love to talk with you about it.
