Assigned Reading with Becky Mollenkamp: Conversations about Feminist Essays

Welcome to Assigned Reading—the feminist podcast where we read bold, brilliant essays and talk about them like real people.

In this short trailer, host Becky Mollenkamp introduces the show and what to expect: weekly conversations about powerful feminist essays, deep questions, occasional confusion, and a whole lot of curiosity. Each episode features a different guest and a different piece of feminist theory—from classics to contemporary gems.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s not a class. There are no pop quizzes. Just honest conversations about big ideas and how they show up in our actual lives.

Whether you're new to feminist writing or you’ve been digging into theory for decades, you’re invited to join the conversation.

🎙️ New episodes weekly
📚 Essays will always be linked in the show notes

What is Assigned Reading with Becky Mollenkamp: Conversations about Feminist Essays?

This isn’t your average podcast—it’s a radical little book club for your ears.

Each week on Assigned Reading, feminist business coach Becky Mollenkamp invites a brilliant guest to read and unpack a feminist essay. Together, they dive into the juicy, nuanced, sometimes uncomfortable questions these texts raise about power, identity, leadership, liberation, and more.

If you’ve ever wanted to have big conversations about big ideas—but without having to get dressed, make small talk, or leave your introvert bubble—you’re in the right place.

🎧 This show is for the nerdy, the thoughtful, the socially conscious.
💬 It’s for people who crave deeper dialogue, new perspectives, and human connection in a world full of sound bites.
📚 Think of it as a feminist book club you don’t have to RSVP for.

Assigned Reading is here to help you feel less alone, more seen, and newly inspired—with accessible essays, warm rapport, and the kind of smart conversations that stay with you.
