For our 10th episode, we’re paying homage to a childhood fave, Reading Rainbow! Except literally, you know, like ‘rainbow’ in the homosexual way. We’re talking queer books – yes, that means young adult fiction, Giovanni’s Room, Our Lord and Savior Alison Bechdel, etc. What lesbian pulp are YOU reading this summer?

This week you’re in for a real treat… we performed open-heart surgery, and you get to listen to it! LOL nope, but we did talk about being both aspiring healthcare professionals and queer patients. How will our knowledge of receiving care as queer people influence our future practice? Is it ever appropriate to out yourself to your patients? How do we tell our doctors what they actually need to know, when gender and sexuality labels can be so imperfect and the medical industrial complex can be such a nightmare?
*Note, this week we discuss healthcare topics such as pelvic care, reproductive care and abortion, chest exams, pap smears, psychiatry, and gynecology.

It’s going down in the DMs. Not really. This week we made a gay pilgrimage back to Western Mass to interview our twitter genius friend, Rochelle! We spoke with her about her twitter, learned about Finstas (are we getting old?), and the ways we edit ourselves on the internet. Tune in to hear us talk about queer representation on social media, the moments it’s important to display our mistakes, and mooooore! Listen, subscribe, rate, & review on iTunes!
Rochelle is a fabulous guest for these 56 minutes, but you can check her out every single day on Twitter! @kvetchkween

Who’s in YOUR MySpace Top 8? This week, we’re going in on chosen families. We’re discussing blood, marriage, wine, and glitter* as we think about why chosen families may be necessary, how they form, and how they provide for each other. It’s true, not all members of our chosen families are queer, but this episode is still super gay, don’t worry. We hope this episode inspires you to hold your loved ones close… or enjoy drinking your wine and eating that burrito on your own, because it’s called chosen for a reason.
* Yes, we do mean this literally but also are referring to S. Bear Bergman’s book, “Blood, Marriage, Wine, and Glitter” (2013).

Hard Femme, Soft Butch, Futch over easy. On this week’s episode we’re discussing Butch & Femme. Have we lost sight of the historical context of these identifiers? How have they changed? How is Butch more than a haircut but also… often seen as a god damn haircut? On this episode we slip into something comfortable (flannel) and try to make sense of the language we use to talk about butch & femme; the way our clothes, voices, and behaviors help us convey to the world who we are — for the moment.
