The C-Word

Alissa Bennett and Lena Dunham.

Streaming on Spotify

Lena Dunham and Alissa Bennett will never call you “crazy.” Their podcast, The C-Word, originally released in 2019 behind a paywall on Luminary, has now been re-released on all podcast platforms. Every Thursday, Dunham and Bennett take a deep dive into the life of a woman whom society dismissed by calling her “mad, sad, or just plain bad.” With guests from Lindsay Lohan and Casey Johnson to Mariah Carey and Tania Head, they unpack who these women were and why people called them, well, the c-word. Just as relevant six years later, the podcast explores femininity, art, and identity—never without a sense of humor. —Lovisa Lohmann
