Request Special! Jarchie, Tomgreg, Les Mis, and Dead Poet’s Society
This is a bit of a different episode! Instead of covering one queerbait, we're touching on a few different ships that have been highly requested but that we wouldn't normally dedicate a full episode to, plus one special surprise ship at the end that may not be bait, and may never have been requested, but we just wanted to talk about it.
This week's suggested pairing is the essay In Defense of Dead Poet's Society by Christopher Cantwell -
Carolmaria
Bait's Back Baby! This week we talk about (what we believe) is Marvel's only True Queerbait. Join us as we talk about girlbossery, Carol "Deadbeat" Danvers, and the nature of superhero movies.

Bait Of The Nation (The Final Destiel Update)
Bait's official statement on Destiel, the end of Supernatural, and the future of queerbaiting. Yeah. There was no way to make this any shorter.

Best show best show
I am waiting with baited breath to discover what this podcast has to say about Sam and Bucky in the falcon and the winter soldier.
This podcast made me cackle hysterically when it said called the social network ‘marriage story for gay people’, 10/10 would recommend
So so good
Listening to this podcast has made me realise how prevalent queerbaiting was during my formative years; a statement I think anyone can relate to if you were on tumblr circa 2011 to 2015 during the rise of superwholock *shudders*
Seriously though this podcast is amazing and I’ve listened to every episode more than once; I’ve even listened to episodes that I didn’t know the pairing for because of how amazing the hosts are at presenting them. Both of the hosts play off each other so well that it makes you feel like you’re just part of a conversation between some hilarious friends. The banter between the hosts is incredible and I haven’t laughed this much during a podcast in a very long time. (The episode detailing the 00Q phenomena is so funny)
However, the ultimate element that I love about this podcast is that while this is a celebration of queerbaiting, rather than a staunch critique of it (which is totally done in a respectful way), the podcast highlights and satirises the mindset behind shipping and queerbaiting; while also discussing the manner in which we engage with media during the age of social media and fandom culture.
im crazy now
this podcast is worth listening to if just for the galaxy brain moment where they compare merlin from bbc merlin to roy cohn
