I just started listening to this podcast, The Intersection of Things, hosted by Marianela Ramos Capelo & Ruth Coustick-Deal and it’s incredible. It is “about technology and human lives on the Internet, all with an intersectional feminist twist [...] with the Internet, with gender, with race, and sexuality”.
Here is their latest episode:
“Who do we put up on our 'rockstar' pedestals? How does genius status and disruption ideology in the tech sector create the conditions for workplace harassment and abuse? "Move fast, and break things" was Facebook's motto - does the attitude include people too?

Content warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual abuse and bullying.”
