These are a couple extra moments I had with personal trainer Asher Freeman that didn’t make it into the first episode. - intro music -Elise: Do you have any hobbies outside of fitness? Asher: Yeah! Well recently I’ve been really into reading science fiction. Elise: Cool. Asher: Yeah. It started with, I mean it started with reading Octavia’s Brood. Which is like, Walidah Imarisha and Adrienne Maree Brown collaborated to make this book of like, short science fiction stories -Elise: Yeah. Asher: That are written in like. Looks like you’re nodding. You’re aware of it? Elise: Yeah. Asher: Written by activist and um, they really talk about how science fiction is, um, or I should say how all organizing work is really science fiction. And so yeah, that got me into reading. And I’ve been in a science fiction rabbit hole and it’s been really fun. Elise: That’s cool!Asher: How’d you get into the podcast? Elise: Um, like, I have been wanting to start a podcast for something for a while, but I couldn’t figure out what exactly that was going to be. Whether it was going to be about, because I’m a musician too. Um, yeah. Asher: Uh-huh. Elise: - Gardener, baker, all of the hobbies. Uh, but yeah, I sort of ran into this niche from your, the New York Times article, that like sort of started it in my head. Asher: Oh wow. Elise: And then I was going down like a YouTube rabbit hole. Asher: Yeah. There’s great rabbit holes there. Elise: And, like, looking at female fitness YouTubers and seeing a discrepancy in what I wanted to be working on in terms of fitness and what, what was already out there in the world. But now I’ve found other people on Instagram so it’s been really cool to just, you know, see that there is a community. Asher: Uh-huh. Elise: And now that I’ve started looking for it, yeah. Asher: Yeah, yeah. Instagram has been awesome. I don’t, I haven’t spent much time on YouTube, but I feel like all of the queers are on Instagram. Elise: Yeah!- outro music -Support the show (http://patreon.com/queerfitnesspod)

Teaser Trailer for the first two episodes of the Queer Fitness Podcast, featuring guests Asher Freeman and Meghan Potter. Transcript: Welcome to the Queer Fitness Podcast. I'm your host, Elise, and every week I'll be interviewing a queer person about their experiences in fitness and sports. -saxophone intro music-Elise: Introduce yourself. Asher: My name is Asher. I identify as queer and trans. And I work as a body positive personal trainer. Elise: When did you start weight training? Asher: I had to like, kind of sit there and like, be in my body and like, interact with it in a way that I had like really been avoiding for many years. Meghan: I'm Meghan Potter and rugby enthusiast. Elise: When did you start playing rugby? Meghan: No, I can't tackle someone. Elise: Right. Meghan: That's not in my nature. Everyone knows, and I think that that's one of the cool things about rugby, you walk in and everyone's kind of half prepared for someone to come out. The definition and the results that I see do make me more confident in my own gender I think. -saxophone outro music-Support the show (http://patreon.com/queerfitnesspod)
