    165. Reclaiming Queer History: The Impact of LGBTQ+ Historical Fiction (with Jeza Belle)

    LGBTQ+ history has long been overlooked, ignored, or actively erased, leaving us with only fragments of a past that deserves to be preserved and celebrated. That absence makes historical fiction a meaningful platform for reclaiming space and allowing queer characters to exist in time periods that have traditionally denied their presence or humanity. In this episode, Jeza Belle, a New York City-based drag queen and author of The Freedom to Love, joins us to discuss the power of storytelling through historical fiction and the importance of preserving LGBTQIA+ narratives in overlooked time periods.

    161. Queer Bodies: Navigating Illness, Identity, and Intimacy (with Mickie Kennedy)

    Societal pressure on men to appear tough and self-reliant can lead to the avoidance of medical care since vulnerability is wrongly equated with weakness. For gay men, this is further complicated by the fear of discrimination or judgment in healthcare settings, creating additional barriers to accessing necessary treatment. In this episode, Mickie Kennedy, author of Glandscapes, joins us to discuss how queer identity and masculinity intersect with health and vulnerability, breaking taboos around gay men’s health and exploring the enduring queer legacy of survival and resilience.

    160. Why Queer Bookstores Matter: Preserving LGBTQ+ Culture and Community (with Greg Newton & Donnie Jochum)

    Queer bookstores have long been more than just places to buy books, serving as cultural hubs, safe havens, and essential spaces for connection, representation, and affirmation within the LGBTQ+ community. As we navigate an increasingly hostile political landscape, building and sustaining these spaces is not only an act of resistance, but one of resilience and solidarity. In this episode, Greg Newton and Donnie Jochum, co-founders of the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division (the Bureau), join us to explore what it takes to create and maintain queer infrastructure, how the Bureau continues to provide a platform for storytelling and connection, and what the future holds for this essential community space.

    159. Reclaim Your Queer Identity Through Self-Compassion (with Sam Fogarty)

    Many gay men grow up internalizing social norms that dictate how they should act, love, or present themselves—distorting their sense of self and making it harder to connect authentically with others. But we can begin to heal when we embrace radical acceptance, challenge outdated narratives, and learn to show up for ourselves with compassion. In this episode, Sam Fogarty, a licensed therapist and clinical supervisor at myTherapyNYC, joins us to explore the power of affirming, authenticity-centered therapy and how we can begin to unlearn shame by making space for a more expansive, self-loving version of ourselves.

    158. Leaving a Narcissist (with Mack Ciccone)

    Previously, we explored the concept of love bombing, where one partner overwhelms the other with excessive affection and attention early in a relationship to mask manipulative intentions. This behavior often sets the stage for a narcissistic relationship, a toxic dynamic in which one partner uses charm, control, and emotional manipulation to maintain power. In this episode, Mack Ciccone joins us to share his journey of leaving a narcissistic relationship and offers insights on reclaiming autonomy and redefining personal boundaries.
