    Dear Straight People, We're Exhausted

    On this week's episode, "queerbaitng" has us feeling BOTHERED. We know that being Queer is fabulous on its own, but when straight people flatter the community from beyond their lane, things can get awkward and borderline offensive. This week, we said what we said with absolutely NO FILTERS, and we hope that you all can start a conversation because if there is anything we all see in the media these days: it's queerbaiting.  Featured in this episode is audio from Tee Noir's (@teenoir_ on Instagram) YouTube channel from her video, "Performative Bisexuality: Y'all Not Tied?"

    The Sexy Episode

    *Trigger Warning: Some conversations involve language about sexual assau*t that some listeners might find disturbing*  Sex taboos, masturbation, sex work, sex education... SEX! In this episode, hosts Jessica and Gabi give you the Sex Ed class you deserve, and talk about some personal details that have contributed to our sexual awakenings as members of Gen Z. Why are some aspects of sex so taboo? This week, silence around sex has us feeling BOTHERED, and we are not afraid to talk about it.

    Welcome to 'Murica

    In this episode, hosts Gabi and Jessica have a conversation with guest Ana Guajardo (@anapau_gsc) about the immigrant experience. Jessica and Ana dive into their upbringings and the culture shocks they experience while living in the United States, and the expectations that come with them. We also discuss the dated concept of the "American Dream", and ultimately come to the conclusion that immigrants make the world a better place that and intolerance is definitely something that had us feeling BOTHERED.  Be sure to follow us on Instagram and TikTok (both @botheredpodcast) and reach out if you have feedback or if you want to be a guest!

    Modern Day Massacre

    In this episode, hosts Gabi (@gabi.vasquez) and Jessica (@realkoko_) are BOTHERED by the death penalty and the injustices that result from systemic racism and traditional politics.

    Pinche Patriarchy!

    In this episode, hosts Jessica (@realkoko_) and Gabi (@gabi.vasquez) interview Isaiah (@theisaiahleal) about his upbringing as a Mexican-American cisgender man.

    Gender Norms

    In this week's episode, gender norms have us BOTHERED. Hosts Jessica (@realkoko_) and Gabi (@gabi.vasquez) talk about their experiences with gender norms, and what they mean in society as a whole. In this episode, we also bring out Candace Owens' receipts and roll some audio from Matt Bernstein's (@mattxiv) YouTube video that addresses this issue head-on. In addition, we talk about the science and sociology behind gender and we ultimately come to the conclusion that you can do whatever the f*ck you want!
