Feminist vindication in the key of humour through networked communication: the podcast in Spain

Abstract

In the midst of the podcast phenomenon, this article highlights the potential of this format for feminist communication, as well as its use for activism with a gender perspective that brings visibility to women, places them as role models and deconstructs sexist stereotypes. As an example, three feminist comedy podcasts from Spain are analyzed, which are achieving great success both in terms of audience and critical acclaim, demonstrating that feminist humor is a powerful tool against sexism.
