THE POLYESTER PODCAST
About this episode

With Halloween just around the corner, Ione and Olivia are discussing the idea of being a bad girl. Has being considered unlikeable become even more taboo in the age of social media? As infographics, online activism, and personal branding collide, we're seeking more than ever to create palatable content with political messages. But in the quest for our identities to be understood, are our fights losing their potency?

The Polyester Podcast is brought to you by Polyester's founding editor in chief Ione Gamble (@ionegamble), and co-hosted and produced by Olivia Graham. Polyester is a self published culture zine exploring intersectional URL feminism in the IRL world. Have faith in your own bad taste!
