Welcome to Oatcast! We’re Niamh & Helen, two queer lady best friends. This is a feminist podcast with a comedic, tongue-in-cheek attitude. Listen as we walk you through the trials and tribulations of modern life as queer ladies living in Belfast. We talk about everything from life as introverts…
Helen here - apologies, Niamh and I recorded this weeks ago and I missed two Tuesdays in a row to upload. LIFE, eh? When we recorded this, the Kevin Spacey story just broke. Now, just three weeks later it seems drastically out of date, there's been a sexual assault story breaking nearly every day. Is this momentum? Lets hope so. We talk a lot about the Harvey Weinstein and the metoo campaign. We talk about the need to believe those who come forward to be trusted and believed. Anyway, in this episode, we talk a lot about how Parks & Rec (for all it's flaws) is a great show to watch when you're sick constantly for a month and need to laugh. We also talk about Niamh's gyming and IT DAD MAKES A CAMEO.
Maybe our GAYEST episode yet??!! Niamh is CONFUSED. But then she's not really, because Helen is a good oat and talks things through with her. That's what oats are for. We're chatting about gender identity/presentation, sexuality stuff, and deciding everyone you talk to at work is queer because STRAIGHT IS NOT THE DEFAULT. Cameron Esposito may get a shout out again... Wonder when she'll notice us...
We talk fat shaming, Munroe Bergdorf, how the big lads at the top count their cash while we fight for scraps, being a wanker on the internet, LOTS of period chat, music festivals and general rants about life.
