Season 1, Episode 9: Bitch—Part 2
<p>In Part 2 of Episode 9, in <strong>The People’s Corner</strong>, we speak to a delightful mix of people about the word ‘bitch’. We ask them about the way it seeped into their lives, how they handled it, whether it took over their lives, how they managed to keep it in control, and whether and how it put them in quite a magnificently awkward spot! Here are the questions we asked them and the timestamps they appear at in Part 2:</p> <ul> <li><strong>00:31: </strong>Introduction</li> <li><strong>02:53: </strong>What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word ‘bitch’?</li> <li><strong>05:07: </strong>When a man calls a woman ‘a bitch,’ what do you think is he implying?</li> <li><strong>09:22: </strong>When a woman uses the word to describe another woman, what do you think is she trying to imply?</li> <li><strong>15:20: </strong>When a gay man uses the word to describe another gay man, what does it mean then?</li> <li><strong>21:52: </strong>When a heterosexual man uses it to describe another heterosexual, man, what kind of meaning does it take up then?</li> </ul> <p><strong>Warning:</strong> This episode contains explicit language. Listener discretion is advised.</p> <p>The show notes for Part 2 are here: <a href="https://cutt.ly/EQdUk0M">https://cutt.ly/EQdUk0M</a>.</p> <p>And as always, do write to us.

Season 1, Episode 9: Bitch —Part 1
<p>Powerful. Denigrating. Demeaning. Domineering. Bitch is all of that when it wants to be—and more! Part 1 of Episode 9 charts its origins and the way 'bitch' morphed from being a simpering simmering insult to a fashionable greeting and then settled on being both—and came to imply authority AND weakness as well!—when in the hands and on the tongues of men and women across quite a handful of decades.</p> <p>Here are the timestamps for each section of Part 1:</p> <ul> <li><strong>00:00: </strong>Introduction</li> <li><strong>01:35: </strong>Origins</li> <li><strong>03:35: </strong>The Insult</li> <li><strong>04:16: </strong>The Closet of Meanings</li> <li><strong>06:22: </strong>Ernest Hemingway</li> <li><strong>08:39: </strong>The Bitch Manifesto</li> </ul> <p><strong>Warning: </strong>This episode contains explicit language.
