Dismantling Women's and Gender Studies Studies, Queer Literature on the Rise, Haircuts and Catherine O'Hara

This week Bryan has an interesting experience getting a haircut from the same man who originated "The Bryan" during his childhood, and Erin picks up a part time gig at her friend's salon. Bryan discusses the rise in popularity of queer literature, and how demand for titles like Heated Rivalry and Box Hill are leading to increased access and readership at public libraries. Erin tells us how Texas A&M is back in the news this week for dismantling its entire Women's and Gender Studies program after its board changed the syllabus for hundreds of classes and how they're trying to justify their censorship.

New year, same 'ssues! Bryan is live from his sister's childhood bedroom (blame Renee) and tells us how his trip to Japan over our holiday break went. Erin (Queen of Air Flights) spent her break wondering what is going on at the Miami International Airport and why the youth are so obsessed with 6-7'ing. Bryan highlights the court challenges by states, federal workers and advocates that were submitted during the end of 2025 fighting back against restrictions and bans for gender affirming care. Erin shares how the United States' Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee is attempting to celebrate America's 250th birthday with questionable new coin designs paying tribute to civil rights, abolition and suffrage movements.

zomatoincompetence

I always listen to your podcast while doing sad or disgusting things and it makes me feel less alone! But seriously, I am beginning to think I know you in person, so be prepared for an excessive amount of PDA when I finally meet you - I hope you will not be too offended by self-delusions of intimate imaginary friendships! The topics addressed on the show are f'ing on spot, and the guests are amazingly diverse, insightful, and entertaining, but my favorite part is the ads!!! Keep on making my and other people's worlds bearable and full of chuckles! Sweaty kisses from Beirut, from your biggest Middle Eastern fan <3
