0:00.0	Hello, Guilty Feminist. This is Debra. We have another rerun for you this week. And we'll be back next week with another brand new episode. Enjoy.
0:26.6	I'm a feminist, but...
0:31.1	Hello, presence, Grand Edinburgh Festival!
0:38.3	I'm a feminist, but today, as I was coming into my show, there's no stage door because it's the Edinburgh Festival,
