Not Great is a weekly comedy and interview podcast ruminating on politics, pop culture, and society, hosted by BuzzFeed News culture writer Scaachi Koul. (If you listen to the show, you can learn how to actually say her impossible name.) Each week, Scaachi and her guests break down the news and what’s making us so miserable (there’s a lot!), all with the hope that we can find some bright spots in the wreckage. It’s Not Great, but at least we can dig through the garbage together.

A Real Generosity For Men To Allow Me To Make This Podcast
<p>It’s our last episode of the season! What a journey we’ve been on. To cap it all off, we’re trudging dutifully into the manosphere and the 21 Summit, which is all about the importance of the patriarchy. Scaachi talks to ardent anti-feminists Anthony Johnson, Steve Brule, George Bruno, and Michael Foster — everyone agrees with each other and everything is totally fine!!!</p> <p>TikTok courtesy of <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@chinforshort/video/6876545088239979781" target="_blank">@chinforshort</a>.</p> <p>Follow @Scaachi on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/scaachi" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.instagram.com/scaachi" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, or <a href="mailto:notgreat@buzzfeed.com" target="_blank">email us</a> at <a href="mailto:notgreat@buzzfeed.com" target="_blank">notgreat@buzzfeed.com</a>.</p> <p>Theme music by <a href="https://shaanicage.bandcamp.com/track/dance-community-2" target="_blank">Shaani Cage</a>.</p>

Congratulations! It’s A Small Human Who Will Grow To Hate You!
<p>Another week, another massive wildfire in California because of a gender reveal party. We talk to Jenna Karvunidis, the woman who popularized gender reveal parties — and now regrets it. Plus, writer Thomas Page McBee talks about how masculinity anxiety plays into these events. Plus, we take stock of J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans comments and beg her to stop it. Please. We’re so tired. </p> <p>TikTok coutesy of <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@cramos_21/video/6874383976115506437" target="_blank">@cramos_21</a>.</p> <p>Follow <a href="https://buzzfeed.slack.com/team/W9M49GQQG" target="_blank">@scaachi</a> on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/scaachi" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.instagram.com/scaachi" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, or email us at notgreat@buzzfeed.com.
