    Extra Bad Gays November 2024: The Transatlantic Anti-Trans Post-Election Backlash (Trailer)

    Our new merch–evil twink energy socks, camo hats, and more–is now available with easy shipping to both sides of the Atlantic.   In the wake of Donald Trump's dismaying reelection to the Presidency, the most cynical consultants and commenters on both sides of the Atlantic have decided it's trans people who are to blame. We break down how ascending through the media breaks your brain––and the differences between US and UK center-left transphobia. For the full story, and the charming Gaggony Guncles segment that concludes the show, subscribe on Apple or Patreon.

We break down how ascending through the media breaks your brain––and the differences between US and UK center-left transphobia. And then, it's time for A Jarring Change Of Tone, with a delightful question from a listener as part of our monthly Gaggony Guncles segment about making playlists for your many lovers and the messiness and heartbreak of gay (and trans) sex.

    Marianne Woods and Jane Pirie (with Indigo Dunphy-Smith)

    Today's special guest is the researcher and museum worker Indigo Dunphy-Smith, who is bringing her expertise to the case of Marianne Woods and Jane Pirie, two Edinburghian school teachers who found themselves embroiled in a sex scandal and court case in the early years of the 19th century. Their legal woes followed accusations by a pupil about sapphic goings-on at their small private school, and raised issues regarding attitudes to sex, race and colonialism in late Georgian era Scotland.

    Extra Bad Gays August 2024: What's Going On Over At GLAAD?

    Apologies for the delay: for your August episode (a few days late but a September episode will also come this month!) we discuss recent reporting that revealed lavish executive spending on salaries and expenses at the US-based nonprofit LGBT organization GLAAD. We discuss the CEO's up to $1.3 million annual compensation package and Davos skiing trips, the development of the US-American nonprofit-industrial complex, and growing tensions inside the kind of centrist US-American liberalism that nonprofit-oriented gay organizations embody.

    Jerome Robbins (with Liz Rosenfeld)

    Today, special guest Liz Rosenfeld discusses the choreographer Jerome Robbins. Born in New York to Jewish immigrants, Robbins pursued dance and radical politics––until, under the threat of being blacklisted and exposed for his sexuality, reporting on his former comrades to the House Committee on Unamerican Activities. As one of Broadway's star choreographers, he helped define Broadway's Golden Age with striking dance theatre that integrated ballet technique into storytelling. His charisma, abuses of power, and boundary-obliterating working methods helped define an idea of choreographer-as-genius that still disfigures dance today.

  8. Extra Bad Gays July 2024: On Andy Warhol's Homoerotic Art (with Sholem Krishtalka)

    Extra Bad Gays July 2024: On Andy Warhol's Homoerotic Art (with Sholem Krishtalka)

    This month, with Huw on holiday, Ben talks to Sholem Krishtalka, the artist who joined us for our previous main-feed special episode on Andy Warhol. Ben and Sholem recently visited Andy Warhol: Velvet Rage and Beauty, a show at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie that puts Warhol's work in the context of gay liberation and desire. Critiquing this frame as reductive, the conversation then turns to Warhol's fundamental weirdness, his relationship to bodies, sex, and libido, and why museums are ill-equipped to deal with his fundamental shallowness.
