Season 3
Ep1: Lights, Camera, Equality: TV’s Role in Social Change
Who’s behind the camera matters just as much as who’s in front of it. From writers’ rooms to streaming contracts, this episode dives into the economics of TV. We unpack how women—especially women of colour—are fighting to tell their own stories and get paid fairly for it.
Ep2: Punk, Pop, and Pay Gaps: Gender in the Music Industry
From blues icons like Bessie Smith to modern superstars like Beyoncé, music has long been a battleground for struggles over gender, race, and class. Dr. Norma Coates joins us to discuss how women have carved out a space in an industry that profits from their talent while limiting their power. We examine artists who have made pay equity a central part of their public advocacy and how behind-the-scenes players are influencing the decision-making process.

Ep4: Level Up: Women’s Role in the Gaming Industry
When you picture a gamer, who comes to mind? If a woman wasn’t your first thought, it’s time to rethink the stereotype.
Women now make up nearly half of all gamers in Canada, and their growing presence is reshaping the industry—not just as players, but as developers, designers, and decision-makers.

When you walk into an art gallery, whose stories are being told—and whose are left out?
Kadie Philp sits down with artist and mother Alexa Mazzarello to explore the persistent gender disparities in the art world, from pay inequity to the underrepresentation of female artists in major collections and leadership roles.
Ep6: Reel Justice: How Women in Films Fought Back
Can a movie change the world—or at least your workplace?

From office revolutions in the 1970s to Barbie’s 2023 existential crisis, Kadie explores how female characters—whether breaking glass ceilings or stuck under them—have fought for dignity, equity, and representation.
