    There's Only One Sin in Hollywood w/ Rasheed Newson

    There are at least three things that you’re likely to experience in a Rasheed Newson novel: 1) A feeling of period-correctness 2) A well-researched ethical dilemma 3) Sex — fortunately his latest book, There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood, is no exception. Our hosts talk with Rasheed about his career as a screenwriter and novelist, but also about the importance of letting historical figures be real people. • Rasheed’s Socials: Instagram | Website • There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood • My Government Means to Kill Me • Diahann Carroll • Sidney Poitier • Bayard Rustin • Andrew Goodman — Join our Patreon for bonus content (starting at $5 a month) — About the show: A culture podcast by two insufferable queer introverts in the South who really need to know who’s gonna be there before they commit to anything.

    Live at Nashville Pride!

    Flanked by a giant spinning wheel of party guests and all the extroverted energy they can muster, our hosts head to Nashville Pride! There, they talk to historian Sarah Calise of Nashville Queer History on just how not new Southern Prides are and how we can all become queer archivists. Listen as festival goers (maybe you?) spin the game wheel to decide if they’re going to the party or not and leave us with their Pride hot takes! • Sarah’s Socials: Instagram | Website • Jackie Shane • The Jackie Shane Papers — Join our Patreon for bonus content (starting at $5 a month) — About the show: A culture podcast by two insufferable queer introverts in the South who really need to know who’s gonna be there before they commit to anything.

    Conversion Therapy Dropout w/ Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez

    Sometimes not succeeding at things can be good, especially if we’re talking about gay conversion therapy. There’s no better person to reflect on this than Timothy S. Rodriguez, author of the recently-released memoir, Conversion Therapy Dropout: a Queer Story of Faith and Belonging (Broadleaf). Recounting his experience with gay conversion therapy programs and ministries such as Exodus International, and his work as a digital strategist for megachurches like Hillsong and Willow Creek Community Church, Timothy walks us through his path to a kind of freeing failure, and success at living his truth. Timothy joins the hosts for a game of smash or pass, Christian men edition. • Timothy’s Socials: Instagram | Website • Conversion Therapy Dropout • Garrard Conley • Church Clarity • NASHVILLE PRIDE FESTIVAL — Join our Patreon for bonus content (starting at $5 a month) — About the show: A culture podcast by two insufferable queer introverts in the South who really need to know who’s gonna be there before they commit to anything.

    I Love Boosters x The Devil Wears Prada 2

    In this episode, we look at the anti-capitalist afrosurrealist film I Love Boosters (Boots Riley), and the highly-anticipated anti-something The Devil Wears Prada 2 (David Frankel). We explore the common threads (sorry!) of fashion versus capitalism, the depictions of the right kind of billionaire, and the importance of soul sucking demons. Of course, we talk Marxist theory as it applies to fashion production (so, Karl by Karl Marx?) and which film embodies the world we’d like to live in. • Boots Riley • David Frankel • The Devil Wears Prada 2 • I Love Boosters • Dialectical Materialism — Join our Patreon for bonus content (starting at $5 a month) — About the show: A culture podcast by two insufferable queer introverts in the South who really need to know who’s gonna be there before they commit to anything.

    Generational BEEF

    A Baby Boomer, Gen Xer, Millennial, and Gen Zer walk into a…ring. Well, you can guess how that goes. Join our hosts for deep dive into the second season of Netflix’s hit series, BEEF. Blake and Kashif examine character motivations, wealth inequality, the healthcare system and more. Later, an intergenerational panel takes on some of the themes explored in the show. Who is really to blame for our current economic and political situation? Are Gen Zers returning to a type of traditionalism usually associated with Boomers? Beyond the middle and side part divide, the generations try to find common ground. Panelists • Boomer: MAT • Gen X: Amy Dotson • Millennial: Kevin Garcia Instagram | Website • Gen Z: KeShawn Ivory Instagram | Dark Mattering • Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath Testimony on Gen Z • Wealth Distribution Statistics — About the show: A culture podcast by two insufferable queer introverts in the South who really need to know who’s gonna be there before they commit to anything.
