Podcasts by Knot Ready
Hi! I'm Lucy and I'm getting married, but I'm conflicted. Why is this patriarchal institution so important to me? And how do other people approach it?

The Knot Ready Podcast is a look at marriage from a modern, feminist perspective. KNOT READY adj. 1. ready to tie the knot 2. freaked out by marriage
