Are there 'great' shows you can't bear because they reek of sexism? How about when a show kicks some feminist goals but fails on race\, sexuality\, or disability? It's also tricky to navigate the public conversations around television without feeling slightly despondent that we're still critiquing the same old problems: lack of diversity\, no representation and women as objects. That said\, there are some TV shows that absolutely made me the feminist I am today.\n\nJoin Karen as she talks to an incredible panel about all this and more!\n\nCeleste Liddle: columnist\, unionist\, activist\, feminist\n\nJoel Turner: podcaster\, blogger\, reviewer\, feminist\n\nRebecca Shaw (aka Brocklesnitch): tweeter\, writer\, comic\, feminist\n\nWe'll be in our new home and even if the weather outside is frightful\, inside you can be guaranteed a warm welcome\, hot food\, cold drinks and a cosy atmos.
