AB This article explores religious-feminist podcasting. Religious feminists have found a place in digital spaces, including podcasts, to connect and thrive, making themselves visible and heard to their religious communities and the broader public. Drawing on interviews with Christian feminist podcasters located in Europe and North America, this paper advances two contributions. First, unlike other forms of digital media, podcasts do not favor the emergence and circulation of specific forms of feminism. Second, focusing on materiality and the role of intimacy and emotions embedded in podcasting, I argue that Christian feminist podcasting can be seen as a form of audibility activism and that through the creation of ‘safe soundscapes’ in which to experience alternative feeling rules, Christian feminist podcasters contribute to broadening conversations concerning feminism and religion.
