This month, hosts Christina Cauterucci, Jules Gill-Peterson, and Bryan Lowder explore two parts of the queer world heavily associated with the 1970s: PFLAG and “The Lesbian.” First, they mark the 50th anniversary of PFLAG with a discussion of how the relationship between parents, parenthood, and queer people has changed over the last five decades, how it hasn't, and what all that means in this dangerous era of “parental rights.” Then, they're joined by Mairead Sullivan, a scholar and author of the newish book Lesbian Death, a fascinating analysis of the cultural association between the figure of The Lesbian and, well, death. Why is The Lesbian and her bed, her spaces, her very identity, always dying? Who's killing her? Sullivan helps the hosts sort it out. Items discussed in the show: Lesbian Death by Mairead Sullivan Gallup's latest count of LGBT people in the U.S. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's 1977 photo in drag. Gay Agenda Christina: The novel Confidence by Rafael Frumkin JGP: Pedro Pascal's Instagram BL: Nico Lang's @QueerNewsDaily; Julia Serano on “transgenderism”; and Christina on Gov. Ron DeSantis' love of high heels. This podcast was produced by Morgan Givens. Please send feedback, topic ideas, and advice questions to outwardpodcast@slate.com.

Welcome back to a brand new season of DC Diary! In season two, we're focusing on anything outside of your 9-5. Episode one is all about how we keep our personal and professional lives separate... Or how we don't. “I'm a very professional, political guy. I really love art, I love movies, I love listening to new music, I love very experimental artistic movies. And I really enjoy keeping professional politics stuff from 9-5.” This episode was produced by Morgan Givens and Melody Rowell. Our production assistant is Simona Ruzer. Our theme music was composed by Bryson Kemp, and you can find him at brysonkempmusic.com.
So this one time, at band camp... Your favorite podcasts' favorite podcasts were joined by writer, producer and master storyteller, Morgan Givens from Dispatches for a extra special edition of the Brown Liquor Report. We talked about storytelling and the importance of narrative. Who tells your story and to whom your story is told? We talked hot topics like the performative justice two-step with "Twitler" and Kim K, the true devastation of Hurricane Maria, and even Weezy F Baby. Sometimes, when the wings are hot, the brown is flowing and the company is good, the conversation can last longer than expected. This was a long one, but oh so much fun. Pour something out, bring some friends, 'cause BLR got a story to tell... #storytelling #art #dispatches #DontStopListenListen #wings #liquor #blackpeople #podsincolor #podcast
This week, we're presenting stories about coming of age. Bildungsroman, if you will. (Thank you, eleventh-grade Honors English!) These storytellers will share stories about growing up and finding their identities -- whether it's within their family, or within their own bodies. Part 1: Growing up, Moni Avello struggles to understand her younger sister, who has Asperger's syndrome. Part 2: For Morgan Givens, the onset of puberty feels like an alien invasion. Moni (Monika) Avello transplanted herself from Miami, FL to Cambridge, MA 7+ years ago in the pursuit of science, and has yet to regret her northward relocation. Moni prefers her hair a quarter shaved for temperature control and generously dyed to honor the rainbow. She is willingly addicted to strong espresso, a habit she picked up in the 3rd grade. Moni loves to social dance blues, salsa, and bachata. In her free time, she experiments with her favorite bacteria Bacillus subtilis, trying to figure out how it blocks unwanted sex, because science is wonderful fun and the Ph.D. degree in Biology from MIT is a nifty bonus. Morgan Givens is a storyteller and performer based in Washington, DC. He has performed at Story District's Top Shelf, Creative Mornings DC, Little Salon and a host of other storytelling events throughout the city and along the East Coast. He has been featured in the Washington Post, Upworthy, Buzzfeed and participated in a panel at the 2017 AFI Documentary Film Festival Forum, titled Hear Me Now: The Art of Nonfiction Podcasting. Morgan is the creator and host of the podcast Dispatches, and uses his podcast to explore the intricacies of identity, culture, and the complicated nature of human interaction. Please note: This June, The Story Collider will be celebrating Pride Month by highlighting stories about the intersection of science and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer issues. Each of our five episodes this month will include one of these stories, and you can follow us @story_collider on Twitter and @storycollider on Instagram this month as we share highlights from our back catalog as well.
