The Bi Pod: A Queer Podcast The Bi Pod

We’re talking about queer friendship, and the ways it can be expansive, affirming, and enriching in a world that teaches us to prioritize romantic monogamy over everything else. Turns out, it’s gay to be friends.

Hi Barbies! We’re talking about the Barbie movie, which we believe is a film about gender performance. We discuss Barbie as an ace icon, Ken’s compulsory heterosexuality, the homoerotic tension between the Kens, and all things gender. And of course, we beach off.

We’re talking about complicated & confusing friendships! We cover what we see as the 3 types of confusing/complicated friendships, before digging into our personal experiences with formative codependent friendships, complicated queer friendships (are we in love???), and the follies of adolescence.

Welcome back to class! In Bisexuality 201, we get into the “symptoms” of bisexuality, the ways that bisexuality can intersect with other labels and identities, and how our understanding of ourselves can change and evolve as we do.

If you haven’t listened to Bisexuality 101 yet, you can find it in our feed! If you’ve listened to both episodes, you can download your completion certificate for FREE on our Patreon.

You can find out if you are experiencing any of the symptoms of bisexuality here: https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/am-i-bisexual 

You can find the TikTok we mentioned here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3axq0ptvku/?igsh=MzY1NDJmNzMyNQ%3D%3D 

Here are the reflection questions for your optional homework:


What is your definition of bisexuality?
Which labels feel the most true for you? Do any of your other identities chafe with or inform these labels?
What would your life look like if you followed the societal “trellis”? What is the light you are growing toward now?

If you’re looking for the Queer DMV office so you can apply for your queer card and pay your membership dues, you’ve come to the right place!

Just kidding, it’s free to be gay! On this week’s episode, we chat with Flo Godineau about what it means to be bisexual enough and nonbinary enough. We also talk about backcountry skiing (as a metaphor about dating), and how Smallville fanfiction can make you queer.
