    Peanut Butter Ketchup Cookies

    Hosts Beck and Dash chat about home and apartment quirks, pets, and grief after Beck’s 15-year-old dog Wenda dies, discussing euthanasia, cremains, and pet rent. They talk about caring for and rehoming animals, moving with cats, litter robots, and Beck wanting an older small dog. Beck discusses an upcoming pap smear and past awkward medical experiences as a trans man, including visibility, bias, and the importance of preventative care for lgbtq people. They share jokes, a local Appalachian wrestling discovery, and reflections on drag and play. A sponsor bit riffs on “Hill Williams: Rent a friend” DIY repairs. They cover stained glass class, bargain stores, odd food stories, and an Appalachian “paper plate holder” icon, then end with rural healthcare access issues in eastern Kentucky—limited PET scanning delaying cancer and heart treatment—and plans for jobs, a discord, and community YouTube nights in a queer rural Appalachian space.

    Do Whatever We Feel Like

    Hosts Beck and Dash open by discussing writing habits, sleep, and accountability tactics like body doubling. They share updates on pain, long drives, mail deliveries, and pets aging and not eating, then pivot to show-and-tell of 1970s lesbian commune zines from Kentucky (“country women”) with homesteading and self-defense content. Conversation touches on dead-celebrity rumors, TV time-travel shows, and a classroom women’s studies exercise about consent and coercion that reveals how some students deny scenarios as assault; they connect this to rape culture, language, and Freud’s retracted findings on hysteria and sexual violence, noting Title IX/mandated reporting. After a comedic sponsor ad, they swap rural food and gas-station stories, then present the “noun of Appalachian interest”: Loretta Lynn’s poor Kentucky upbringing, blunt songs on women’s lives and birth control, and lasting influence.

    Cooter Fight

    Beck and Dash debate the best holiday candy, swap small-town crime stories (including how many murderers they've personally known), and get into the Lemkin Institute's transgender genocide alert and why chromosomal testing in sports is going to backfire spectacularly. Also: spring cleaning as emotional warfare, the Sheets parking lot as Appalachian social institution, Cooter's legendary Facebook beef that almost became a fistfight, early internet nostalgia, and classroom chaos from two people who probably shouldn't be trusted with students. Yehaw. Y'all means all.

    The Lesbian Card

    Beck and Dash explore lesbian identity, butch/femme dynamics, body image pressures, student stories from the classroom, childhood memories of Appalachian songs and games, county fairs, and navigating queer culture across generations. With side trips into politics, religion, and the universal experience of being the fat kid who got attention after losing weight, Beck and Dash bring their signature blend of academic insight and mountain humor to every topic.

    You Know How I Feel About John Malkovich

    Beck and Dash take listeners on a wild ride through nostalgia, tech frustrations, and current events. From reminiscing about making ringtones and the early days of mobile internet to debating the Apple vs Android divide, they explore how technology has shaped (and trapped) us all. The conversation turns serious as they discuss ethical consumerism, medical experimentation on marginalized communities, and the ongoing attacks on trans rights—including Kansas' recent driver's license invalidation. Along the way, they share stories about pizza rivalries, tractor pulls, beloved pets, and the dulcimer as this week's Noun of Appalachian Interest. Closing with their signature blend of humor and righteous anger, Beck and Dash remind listeners to hang on till spring, stay safe, and say hi to your mom and them.

    Tiffany, From The 80's and Jōb From The Bible

    Perfect for listeners interested in: LGBTQ+ podcasts, Appalachian culture, queer identity, rural America stories, 1980s-90s nostalgia, internet history, and authentic conversations about growing up different in small-town America. Beck and Dash chat about internet nostalgia, Olympic figure skating, and growing up queer in Appalachia. They swap stories about celebrity encounters (Tiffany from the '80s, anyone?), childhood games, questionable gifts, and the terrifying critters of rural life—from brown recluse infestations to snakes shooting across driveways. This week's Noun of Appalachian Interest: Camden Park, the stubborn 1903 amusement park in Huntington, West Virginia that's survived everything from floods to the apocalypse (literally—it's in Fallout 76). Plus: The Gravel Grapple All-Terrain Wrestling Mat sponsors this episode, because every backyard wrestling alliance needs proper equipment.

They discuss Mike Tyson's claim that his sister died from eating ice cream, Kid Rock singing his to-do list, and Tennessee senators investigating Bad Bunny for widespread twerking. The hosts navigate colorblind racism in ethnic studies classrooms, the tradition of haint blue porch ceilings keeping ghosts at bay, and why Appalachia became America's call center capital. Plus: MySpace vs. Facebook, the four-in-one body wash phenomenon, Olympic figure skaters as "woke bitches winning," and whether we're all just getting too comfortable with the unthinkable. This week's fake sponsor: Bubba's Botanical Beard and Mullet Oil, featuring scents like "Front Porch" (cedarwood and WD-40) and "Sunday Supper" (cast iron cornbread and your Memaw's purse mints).

    Your Great Granny Wasn't a Cherokee Princess

    Cultural appropriation, blaccent, and why everyone's got a fake Cherokee princess in their family tree. Beck teaches through grief while Dash navigates workplace chaos and disrespectful students. They discuss Appalachian identity politics, the difference between "Appalachia" and "Appalachian," and why white people are just now realizing what marginalized communities have known forever. Also: anti-Trump holographic stickers, lesbian movie recommendations with questionable spitting scenes, what it's like to be the only female bowling alley mechanic, and the inaugural episode of Queernecks Sponsored Wrestling Federation (Rocking Chair vs. Lawn Chair).
