I discovered this podcast earlier this month while searching for Lisa Brenninkmeyer interviews. I listened to Claire’s interview with Lisa and have been listening ever since. I’m a recently converted Catholic in Florida, a pretty conservative state, so it’s very encouraging to hear intelligent...Read full review »

Well-intentioned with excellent guests. It would be more fruitful to have a host who I can look up to as a feminist- in all honesty, she is a stay-at-home home who occasionally works. She benefits from the patriarchal system. We need more representation from single women, working women, women who...Read full review »

Thank you for being a witness to true feminism!

I absolutely love this podcast. I live in the south and Catholics here tend to be afraid of the word feminism or hard topics like race or poverty. I’m so happy to have found a community that is catholic but also talks about less traditionally “conservative” catholic issues. We need to focus more...Read full review »

To listen every week. I even go back and listen to older episodes. It has given me information, resources, community groups... the list goes on. It’s such a joy to tune in :)

Catholic and feminist are two titles I proudly wear so I am really trying with this podcast but thus far I have not enjoyed it. It comes off a little privileged and pretentious but I am going to continue listening and am definitely going to update this if my opinion changes but for now, this...Read full review »

Thank you, thank you, thank you for creating this podcast. For a very long time, I felt like I was all alone as a Catholic feminist. And then I stumbled upon your platform! It’s given me so much food for thought and has helped me connect with other likeminded women. I look forward to more. :)

I’ve been listening to her for years but she’s dismayed me to the point where I’ve unsubscribed. Her niche audience is white middle America women who don’t have regular nine to five jobs, despite her wide range of guests. Her limited view of the world comes through in the (limited) topics she...Read full review »

I never review podcasts but listening to a number of episodes of this show has really got me down. I don’t hear much of Claire’s feminism coming through on this show. Instead what I’m hearing is the constant shaming that goes along with traditional Catholic ideology. Shaming women who want to try...Read full review »

Claire is honest, humble, and always resists the urge to slip into hardheadedness. Her podcast has brought me back to the Church. The only suggestion I have is that she discuss the relationship between Catholicism and feminism in more depth. I think many people (who don’t take the time to...Read full review »

Claire Swinarski’s brand of feminism is pretty limited to white, middle-class, stay-at-home trad Catholic women. If you know “Catholic Speaker Culture,” this is it, right here. If you’re outside of their target market, skip this in favor of something more interesting and relatable.
kepp13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/20
I've just recently started listening to the Catholic Feminist Podcast, but even as a 17 year old it has helped me grow. Before listening to this podcast, I had a very conservative view of the church that I felt like I either had to fit into that box, or live outside of the box. Now, I...Read full review »

Great podcast! I especially like the conversations about diversity and inclusion in the Church, as well as the diversity of the guests Claire interviews. Many other topics are covered as well, so there should be interesting material for many people. I look forward to it every week. :)

I recently discovered this podcast and I adore the content. Thank you so so much. God bless you

I’ve been listening to the Catholic Feminist Podcast for over a year now, and I love how this podcast creates space for me to think about my faith in the context of very complex issues, like addiction, the criminal justice system, and immigration. This podcast has really inspired me to think...Read full review »

At first, I was all for this podcast and thought it was great and exactly what the world needed. However, over time, it has gotten boring for me. I think Claire is a lovely and intelligent woman. But she asks every guest the same questions and almost all content is interviews which is fine to an...Read full review »
janeluvsjesus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/20
This podcast has long been one of my favorites Claire’s perspective and her willingness to ask questions in a world that so often encourages noise has inspired me to do the same in my life. This podcast has the potential to inspire people’s lives!
Clare. Delgado via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/20
This podcast is great for it’s loving and vibrant look at the faith and the world. Listening as a first year college student, it felt like having an older sister talk about her faith. I recommended it to my friends but must stop listening to it now because she keeps covering the same material...Read full review »
Ella.02 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/20
This podcast is dreadful- please change the title. You peddle pro life propaganda which has nothing- absolutely nothing to do with feminism. Feminism is about a woman’s right to choose. Every single guest is just attempting to shame other women- that’s not feminism- that is false advertising and...Read full review »

Claire does an amazing job of making each listener feel like they are welcome at her table. Her guests are always interesting, the topics are thought-provoking, and I always feel more loving and closer to God at the end of each show.
Chloed9898 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/05/20
I’ve listened for a long time. But the recent episode, 138 lost me as a listener and a subscriber. Up until this episode I was really impressed by this podcast, and even was recommending this podcast to family and friends. I liked that it was a Godly escape from the world and would give me...Read full review »

This show has been exactly what needed in a Catholic podcast. It speaks to my heart in a way I didn’t even know I was missing, and it has been bringing me closer to God lately. 🙂
PryingLittlePandora via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/20
Love listening to the episodes about NFP, theology of the body, and other similar topics. Claire has given us a new definition of feminism—that men and women are equal in dignity—that all Catholics can feel good about. Claire is funny, sweet, and sassy! Love her show.
EllyfantLover via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/19
I’ve only been listening for a short time but I can already tell this is a fantastic podcast. Ignore these “feminists” saying that because your views aren’t perfectly aligned with theirs you’re a faker, this is the real thing and it’s great!
Mercutio's Jade via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/09/19
Claire is passionate, funny, and does not avoid addressing difficult topics. I love this podcast because it covers a wide array of topics that pertain to the Catholic faith. Claire makes sure to dedicate the time necessary to discussing pro life issues in a loving and firm way, which I really...Read full review »

Listening to jeannie gaffigan & she is microwaving food, her emails are dinging, is it rude to have guests without noise distractions ?? I cant listen.
☕️🐤 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/19
This podcast brings into the light so many important topics that I felt my Catholic circles weren’t really digging into. Claire asks the hard questions but she does it with grace and humor; seeking the truth.
KDKaczmarski via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/19
I‘ve been listening to the podcast every day to work for the past few weeks, getting caught up on all the episodes, and I absolutely love these conversations! Claire feels like a genuine friend and I love how down to earth all the episodes are. I’ve found them very encouraging and inspiring....Read full review »

This is one of my favorite podcasts because it’s inspirational, very informative, and encouraging. I’ve learned so much and have dramatically grown in my faith from including this show into my weekly life.
Ballin on the Daley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/19
I found this podcast as a way to better understand Catholicism and hear from other Christian women about how to live a more Christ like life. I found so much more from listening and have learned so much about natural family planning. I had not known much about this method of planning a family but...Read full review »

I love listening to Claire and her guests❤️! The topics discussed are very insightful and I learn more about my Catholic faith and feminist beliefs with each episode I listen to. Claire is down to earth, empathetic and lovely to listen to. Go on, subscribe, I know you want to😉.

I love this podcast! Thought provoking and enriching- so so many good interviews!
RookIV via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/19
This podcast talks about contemporary issues from the perspectives of those who are directly involved and shines light on how it affects the Catholic Church. The words that I would use to describe this podcast is: fun, real, informative, hopeful, empowering women, supportive, not biased. Love...Read full review »

this podcast changed my life. it turned me into a catholic feminist. all of the women who are interviewed have inspired me! thank you!!
LittleFlowerFitness via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/19
I’m pro choice and a Catholic woman. I’m looking to find other people who have similar views and outlook to some. Disappointed to see that this podcast is not only anti choice but anti contraception. I don’t know how you could possibly call yourself a feminist, nor a Catholic, while working to ...Read full review »
ElizaEdie1 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/17/19
Claire’s podcast is my hands down favorite podcast. In the Catholic world, it can be hard to find content for women that is not centered around being a married mom (which married moms are awesome-I’m married and a little impatiently waiting to be a mom), but Catholic women need to also have...Read full review »
Nicole Jacobsma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/19
Recently discovered Claire’s podcast through some Catholic blogs I follow and have LOVED this show- she covers all kinds of topics relevant to the modern Catholic woman, including abortion, homosexuality, foster care, discerning your vocation, and perfectionism. If you’re looking for a way to...Read full review »
Anna Elizabeth11 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/19
I often notice podcasts either lean directly on “faith” or “works”. This podcast beautifully shows our call as Catholic women to grow in virtue and holiness while serving!

Thank you for giving voice to women, supporting women, and nurturing women’s wholesomeness within the Catholic Community of faith.
MBCal85 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/19
If you are Catholic and not listening to Claire every week I honestly do not understand your life. This podcast is so smart, informed, reasonable, compassionate and DEEPLY ROOTED IN CATHOLIC TEACHING! Complete inspiration to get informed and take action without being depressing. Claire does an...Read full review »

Most ludicrous garbage ever. The scriptures mean what the scriptures say.

Such a great podcast! Claire- thanks for having a variety of different ladies in different careers and stages of their lives. God Bless you! Thank you! Danielle Brown was sweet!
kngdave23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/19
I was really excited about this podcast for a while. As someone who identifies this way, and also sometimes feels like a bad catholic and a bad feminist, and struggles with the world telling me these are inconsistent identities, I thought I was home. My problem was that with many interviewees who...Read full review »

The exact polar opposite of a catholic woman is a feminist.
joandietitian via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/19
Just found out about the podcast 5 weeks ago and I have miraculously listened to every single episode already. Every episode is so empowering and helpful in growing to become a better Catholic feminist.
