    Episode 28: queers for palestine

    On November 9th, The Telegraph published an opinion piece by writer Brendan O'Neill titled, 'Queers for Palestine must have a death wish'. In today's episode, Ell and Mary answer: no we don't. Palestinian liberation is a queer issue. Here's why.

    Episode 27: queer dreamhouse

    So yes fine, Ell and Mary are approaching thirty and they’re wondering what their lives might look like in five years time. Will they own houses? Who will they live with? Will they want babies? What does growing up look like if you don’t want a conventional life-style? Join them on a ramble through aspec perspectives, polyamorous advocacy and home-building.

    Episode 26: hedonism (tm)

    Fresh back from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Ell and Mary reflect on a wild summer of wine, sex, and theatre. But is the Edinburgh Festival really that radical; that queer; that Bacchic? Or is it another guise for the capitalist machine? Come dip your toes in some Ancient Roman nonsense, and join us for a much-needed catchup.

Adore

So smart, funny and informed.

and_the_fox_ ,

love the pod sm

Honestly, this is one of the best pieces of media I have consumed. It’s incredibly intelligent and endlessly thought-provoking, but remains and accessible and not pretentiously over-wordy. It addresses some serious and important topics, and has really helped me understand myself and has given me the boost I didn’t know I needed.
