Episode 15: Drag Kings
A long-awaited topic for Out of Context has finally arrived: drag kings!
Richard Rockhard AKA Courtney Stanley is one of the hardest-working drag kings in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Caitlin first got to know him as a fellow performer in the legendary "Get Your Drag On" (GYDO) show at Menz & Mollyz bar in 2016, and he carries on that legacy to this day!
In this episode, Caitlin gets the full history of Richard Rockhard the Halifax drag king, but also some insight into how an alter ego has helped Courtney grow and change off-stage. Although drag itself has become more mainstream in recent years, drag kings still often have to create space for themselves and many still don't know what a drag king even is. By the end of this episode, you'll be well acquainted with one of the finest out there!

Episode 14: Gender Identity
Out of Context returns after a LONG hiatus with a brand new guest, Dene Guillas!
Caitlin and Dene met last November during a work engagement. The Indigenous Mentor at Caitlin's day job invited Dene to a day of talks called "Supporting our 2SLGBTQ+ Youth" that featured speakers from various organisations, as well as individuals who shared their lived experiences. After hearing Dene speak, they connected afterwards and both were excited to chat about gender identity for Out of Context!
In this episode, Caitlin talks to Dene about what it's like working at Rainbow Resource Centre in Winnipeg (especially during a pandemic) and how his journey of discovering his own gender identity, alongside his cultural identity, has helped him in his work.

Episode 13: Queer Gaming
This episode marks an Out of Context first - Corey Hickson is someone host Caitlin Hartlen didn't know before recording! They were introduced online via Twitter by another Out of Context guest. You may remember him from Episode 3: Found & Chosen Family, Darrin Carr!
Corey is a software developer by day, and tabletop roleplaying games (RPGs) designer by nights and weekends! RPGs are a world Caitlin is admittedly not familiar with beyond general common knowledge of games like Dungeons & Dragons, so this was an enlightening episode to record. Hopefully you'll learn something new too! He also has a Twitch stream where he plays games like Dead by Daylight, The Gardens Between, but also discusses development of tabletop RPGs he's working on.
In addition to learning new things, this was also a discovery of a new era of Out of Context. Hopefully this will lead to more guests Caitlin doesn't know who are willing to share their knowledge on a variety of queer topics!
