“Love listening to Ione and Gina chat about the latest social topics, pop culture and more serious or feminist issues etc on the pod. Their dialogue is fun, insightful and offers a critical perspective on thought provoking issues with just the right amount of context and detail behind every...”Read full review »

“If youโre going to listen to a podcast, make it this one! Finally women that talk about pop culture moments, beauty standards and more who arenโt afraid to state an opinion and give discourse. Itโs definitely not a surface level podcast and itโs genuinely relatable. Love, love, love!”

“I first heard about Polyester during my undergrad in Creative Writing (TEN YEARS AGO!) and have just gotten back into listening to their podcasts in the last week. Adore hearing about dupe Stanley Cups and how we donโt know what Taylor Swiftโs favourite food is.”

“From the titles & descriptions I expected a lot more. Instead episodes are poorly researched with basic errors, constant mispronunciations and generally consistent of them reading someone elseโs work on the topic rather than having their own research/angle. Sound quality is also terrible.”

“I stopped listening on my first episode where Taylor Swift was heavily criticised for daring to live her life when atrocities are happening elsewhere. Unless Iโve missed something and Taylor is personally responsible for Middle East conflict, this seems very unfair and hardly feminist.”

“I understand the angle of this podcast is to critique online culture, trends and art. But it is rare (if ever?) that the hosts applaud any of the subjects in their podcasts. Given that their subject is often a woman (Taylor swift, Emerald Fennell, Amy Schumer, Selena Gomez) or an online trend...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast and the topic choices are great. They feel relevant and are thought provoking, while not just rehashing other content out there. However I think recently the conversation is difficult to follow and ideas donโt seem fully thought through, and it often quite snarky.”

“Love. They have a refreshing kind of cynicism, like they are skeptical of social campaigns and deeper subtext in what is usually considered futile and not taken seriously: fashion industry, pop culture celebrity, aesthetic social forces etc. Also easiest podcast to listen to auditory wise”
