Official Selection of the 2024 Tribeca Audio Festival. Selected as one of Apple Podcasts Favourites of 2024 so far. Strap on your binoculars and lace up your boots: A Field Guide to Gay Animals explores sexuality, gender, and joy in the animal world. Hosts Owen Ever and Laine Kaplan-Levenson take you on a quest to see beyond the natural world as we know it and into the natural world as it is: queer as f*ck. Homosexuality has been documented in over 1,500 species of animals. From gay geese and bisexual bison to lesbian elephant love affairs and all-male, all-whale orgies, expressions of same-sex action in the animal queendom are all around us. Owen and Laine are your intrepid guides to investigate this variety of animal behaviors – exploring the depths of the ocean, the heart of the forest, and the bushes in your backyard – to dive deep into nuanced conversations about queerness in the animal world. Cheeky and contemplative, curious and raunchy, Field Guide shows you the natural world is more exuberant, more joyful, and more gay than you could possibly imagine. Coming in June, 2024. Artwork features illustrations by John Megahan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“Thorough and absorbing” –Hannah J Davies, The Guardian “A fascinating tale masterfully told” –Fiona Sturges, The Financial Times The life of an unassuming sociology professor in Canada gets turned upside down when he is accused of carrying out a 1980 bomb attack on a synagogue in Paris. Hassan Diab says heʼs innocent, but French investigators are determined to prove otherwise. Journalists Dana Ballout and Alex Atack take listeners through the twists and turns of this extraordinary story, all the while asking: Is Hassan Diab guilty, or is he a scapegoat? And what if one person’s justice means committing an injustice to another? The Copernic Affair is available to listen to now — right here on Canadaland Investigates. Our critically-acclaimed and award-winning limited series, all in one place. canadaland.com/join Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TRUE CRIME
Celebrities are always talking about their bests. Now hear them at their worst. Join award-winning filmmaker and noted curmudgeon Alan Zweig for refreshingly honest conversations with “notable people” about the worst things in life. Alan has no interest in best-selling books or Hollywood triumphs, and doesn’t know (or care) much about his guests. He’s looking for real conversations that dig deep and get to the worst things: nagging fears, embarrassing secrets and haunting regrets. And he’ll no doubt share a few of his own along the way.

This is a wonderfully captivating show! I’m learning so much about queerness in the wild world around me and that is very empowering. The hosts keep things funny and entertaining the whole way through.
Why queer?

I was really looking forward to listening to this podcast. As a gay man I thought it was important. But they had to introduce woke language as “queerness”. I’m sorry but this is a podcast about homosexual behavior in animals not about “queer” animals whatever that means. It completely ruined the podcast for me. It’s even it the title: Gay Animals. I find queer as a slur.
Welcome to a New Way to Understand Your World

Sometimes we forget how much narratives shape and frame our understanding of the world. I love this series because it challenges us to look at animal behaviors as they are instead of in the framework that has been given to us. This show isn’t about animal “gay/queer/transgender” behavior it is about animal behavior. This show IS about challenging the stories (and implied facts) we have been told and learning to look more closely at the things we haven’t seen but have been there all along. Refreshing.
