Unladylike

Unladylike started as a two-host show with Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin picking apart the myths and double standards that shape how women move through the world. After Caroline's departure, Cristen kept the engine running solo, pivoting to a more interview-heavy format that brings in researchers, authors, and cultural commentators to tackle a specific topic each week. Over 339 episodes, the show has covered everything from tradwife culture and pronatalism to ADHD in women and the wellness industry's grip on female consumers. Produced by Unladylike Media and hosted on Acast, the show has a 4.7-star average from over 3,600 ratings on Apple Podcasts. Episodes typically run 45-60 minutes, though some stretch longer when a conversation really gets going. The format works because Cristen doesn't just present information and move on. She pushes back on popular narratives, asks follow-up questions that actually matter, and isn't afraid to sit with uncomfortable truths about gender, power, and identity. For teens and young women who are starting to notice the gap between what they're told about being female and what they actually experience, this podcast puts language to those observations. It's feminist analysis that doesn't feel like a lecture hall. Cristen keeps the tone sharp and occasionally funny, and she has a knack for connecting seemingly unrelated cultural moments into a bigger picture. The back catalog is massive, so new listeners can start with whatever topic grabs them and branch out from there.
