Podcasts about Queer

Tensions boil over as everyone is mad at each other but also too non-confrontational to do anything about it. Buffy feels out of place, Willow feels abandoned, and Joyce has a lesbian lover. Throw in some zombies and you've got a dead man's party, who could ask for more?

In a genre-bending story about a quest to conquer evil and save the world, the young-adult characters of Kestrel Gaian's “The Boy From Elsewhere” take a trek through the multiverse where nothing is quite what it seems.

And in NewsWrap: Senegal's National Assembly almost unanimously passes a bill to double the punishments for same-sex sexual activity, a Kenyan court convicts two assailants in a gay assault and extortion case, a U.S. federal appeals court issues a precedent-setting ruling against Medicaid-funded gender-affirming surgery, a Kansas judge refuses to block the invalidation of transgender people's government identification and the ban their use of public bathrooms, the New Hampshire House passes extreme trans bathroom ban, Trump demands Congress add anti-trans laws to the SAVE America voter suppression bill, and more international LGBTQ news reported this week by Ret and Michael Taylor Gray (produced by Brian DeShazor).

South Carolina taxpayers face an unexpected surprise: part of their tax dollars is funding a queer historical podcast. In this episode, Tara breaks down the controversy over state spending increases, how taxpayer money is being allocated, and the political implications of funding niche projects. From cultural programming to judicial appointments, the conversation explores how policy choices reflect the priorities of lawmakers — and why some Republicans may not be as conservative as they claim. Summary Tara examines a recent budget increase in South Carolina and how a portion of taxpayer funds is being used to produce a queer historical audio drama series about 19th-century stage actress Charlotte Cushman. The episode highlights concerns over transparency in government spending, questioning why the general fund is supporting programming with a limited audience. The discussion also touches on political accountability, pointing out how some Republican legislators align with Democratic causes and decisions, including controversial judicial appointments. Tara emphasizes the importance of scrutiny over government spending and public awareness of where taxpayer money goes. Listeners gain insight into the intersection of culture, politics, and fiscal responsibility, and why debates over seemingly small expenditures can have broader implications for governance and public trust. Key Topics South Carolina budget increase and allocation of taxpayer funds Controversy over funding queer historical podcast projects Transparency and accountability in government spending Political implications of Republican lawmakers supporting progressive causes Judicial appointments and ideological alignment of elected officials The role of cultural programming in state-funded projects Social Media Post

For our 600th episode we're happy to be joined by Raws of Plack Blague and DJ Starr Noir.

durée : 00:03:16 - Un monde connecté - par : François Saltiel - "Problématik" est un nouveau média indépendant, en ligne, qui propose une vision queer de l'actualité. Le but est de combler un manque dans l'offre d'information par une perspective queer, le tout en s'appuyant sur un modèle économique basé sur les dons et l'engagement de sa communauté.

Recorded on March 7, 2026, at Boundless Mind Temple in Brooklyn, NY. Please enjoy this interfaith dialogue on engaged action as spiritual practice with guest teacher, Reverend Mira Salwani of The Riverside Church, and Sarah Dojin Emerson. The BZC Podcast is offered free of charge and made possible by the donations we receive. You can donate to Brooklyn Zen Center at brooklynzen.org under ‘Giving.' Thank you for your generosity! Rev. Mira Salwani speaks about “what it means to find home in the midst of chaos,” by “leaning into discomfort as a means to survival.” She explores the value of “extending home and belonging and safety to someone else … and to ourselves.” Reverend Mira Salwani serves as the Minister of Justice, Advocacy & Change at The Riverside Church. She is a daughter of immigrants, a pastor, a preacher, an educator and a public theologian. Mira received her Master of Divinity degree from Wesley Theological Seminary where she earned an award for Excellence in Public Theology and a Community Life Award. During her time in seminary, Mira served as the Associate Pastor of Spiritual Formation at Peace Fellowship Church, working in partnership with congregants, community organizers and activists to end gun violence in Washington, DC. Mira has also served on the launch team of Resurrection City, a Queer and Black led church plant; as the former Community Pastor at Forefront Church NYC and most recently as the Minister for Spiritual Development and Care at Middle Collegiate Church. Her decolonized approach to justice and advocacy have been informed by her lived experience as a “third culture kid” of Philippine and Indian heritage in her birthplace of Hong Kong, and her extensive experience doing ministry in multicultural communities from Australia to the United States. Her journey as a mother of three girls has fueled her desire to bring about social change for their futures and to bring to realization God's kin-dom here on earth for all to experience.

Our girl is BACK, except no she's not because she ran away and is living under a false identity.

Loving queer kids today requires honesty: they are growing up in a world that actively questions their right to exist, to be safe, and to belong. In this episode, we speak plainly to parents, caregivers, and allies about what LGBTQ+ kids need — not someday, but right now — in a cultural and political climate that is increasingly hostile.We confront the real harm caused by silence and “good intentions,” challenge adults to move beyond private support into public protection, and name advocacy as a non-negotiable part of love. This episode is a call to action for anyone who claims to care about queer kids.Because love that doesn't protect is not love — it's abandonment.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

My Queer Dreams- The Race

This week's episode is about an underrated -- and often misreprensented -- asset for pleasure: lingerie! Lingerie can make you feel powerful, beautiful, and sensual, even if you're not with a cishet male partner, or any partner at all! In this episode, DB speaks with Emily Bendell, founder of Bluebella, one of the greatest lingerie brands DB's found yet! GUEST DETAILSBluebella was born from a simple idea to create luxurious and sensual lingerie for self-assured women. Founded on the belief that strength and sensuality belong in the everyday, Bluebella understands that beautiful lingerie sets a powerful tone for whatever comes next. Bluebella is a multi-award winning brand that has paved the way for accessible luxury in the lingerie industry. Graduating from the University of Oxford, Bluebella's founder Emily Bendell had a stint in legal journalism before turning her love for lingerie into a business. Seeking to create a new language around contemporary lingerie, Emily launched Bluebella with a mission to re-write what it means to be sensual for the modern woman. "Our vision is to re-imagine sensual lingerie as something owned for ourselves. To us, lingerie is a personal self-expression of individual style and spirit. I wanted to create a brand and product that was considered, confident, and true to our experience of wearing lingerie."

A great story is truly timeless. However, since “A Question of Price” is pretty mid at best, we're giving it a little less than 90 minutes. In our newest side quest, we're returning to the world of Witcher comics to discuss Dark Horse's adaptation of the Andrzej Sapkowski short story, determining if this recent graphic novel has anything new to offer besides some pretty art. (In fairness, it's VERY pretty art.) Does the story that introduced The Witcher's Law of Surprise still hold some surprises of its own? Does the return of “Headband Geralt” hit differently after Crossroads of Ravens? And does Calanthe bring that milf energy and thirst for Geralt that she has in other versions of this story? Sharpen your swords and don your doublets, we're returning to Cintra!

رغم أن أستراليا تُعد من أكثر الدول انفتاحًا تجاه مجتمع الميم، إلا أن الطريق نحو القبول ليس سهلًا للجميع، خصوصًا داخل بعض الجاليات المحافظة. في هذه القصة يروي شريف، شاب من أصول عربية، رحلته مع اكتشاف هويته منذ الطفولة والصراع بين كونه صادقًا مع نفسه والحفاظ على روابطه العائلية. تكشف التجربة واقعًا يواجهه كثير من العرب الكوير في المهجر: تهديد بالطرد من المنزل، ضغوط عائلية، وشعور بالعزلة بين ثقافتين. من هنا جاءت فكرة Queer Arabs Australia، وهي مبادرة أسسها شريف لتوفير مساحة آمنة وداعمة للعرب الكوير، حيث يمكنهم اللقاء، تبادل التجارب، والحصول على الدعم في لحظات صعبة. فهل يمكن للإنسان أن يكون صادقًا مع نفسه دون أن يخسر عائلته ومجتمعه؟

Judson revels in a moment of gratitude after reuniting with a sweater left behind at the studio. Brian reports on a frustrating afternoon on the apps and wonders if his dick pics are misleading. A unique Hookup of the Week tells its tale through text messages. The two are then joined by hosts of “The Big C*nty Couch” podcast, Mike Fails and drag queen Gina Spears! Mike and Gina reveal the bold choice that first solidified their now fifteen-year friendship before either was out of the closet, the secret sauce that has kept them so close for so long, how they each define their sexuality and what made them decide to create a podcast together.  Each also shares personal stories including the origins of the Gina Spears persona, the challenges of the past year since Mike's husband survived a nightmarish accident, and so much more. Together, the four respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants to know how to handle hooking up with someone he likes, but whose home is a complete mess.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Lady Tan's Circle of Women, with friend of show Aris! ACOFAE welcomes back to the podcast friend of show, Aris, to discuss Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See. Celebrating International Women's Day (and month), Aris got to choose the book for this episode and what a choice she made! Laura Marie, Jessica Marie, and Aris are discussing all things plot related, with a focus on the friendships between the main character and the people in her orbit. Tan Yunxian is a female doctor in 15th century China and her story is one that is inspiring and educational. Set during a time when women bound their feet, gender inequality reigned, and Blood and blood are two different things, Lady Tan and her story are ripe for discussion and compassion. Celebrating women everyday, but especially now, ACOFAE and Aris are shining a light on women's fiction, women's stories, and women's lives.

Send a textToday's topic is More Than One Way: Secular Organizations for Sobriety part 3.  Today we welcome guest hosts Sage M and Sage H to the conversation.   This is our 200th episode!  We are so grateful for all of our listeners, guests, and the Castro Country Club for supporting us on this journey.  

What does it mean to be queer in a society often defined by its rigid traditions, colonial scars, and rapid neoliberal transformation? In this episode of Korea Deconstructed, we sit down with Dr. Samuel Perry from Brown University to challenge the common misconception that LGBT issues are a "new" or "Western" import to the Korean peninsula. Through his new anthology, A Century of Queer Korean Fiction, Dr. Perry reveals a long-standing tradition of diverse sexualities and gender expressions that have navigated censorship, war, and dictatorship for over a hundred years. We explore the coding of literature during oppressive eras, the dangers of using Western yardsticks to measure Korean resistance, and how the rise of neoliberalism has impacted social visibility versus true acceptance. From figures like Yi Gwangsu to the gritty, three-dimensional characters of modern writers like Sang Young Park, we explore a literary history that is as complex but, at the same time, beautiful.

When I first came up for the idea for the Culture Study Romance Book Club back in January, I knew I wanted every edition to have two books: one contemporary, and one historical. Part of this desire was selfish (I personally gravitate towards historicals) but I also wanted to explore the contrast between what you can do with a romance set in the past (with its particular confines) and one set in the present (with seemingly none, but actually so many). I also knew that I wanted to start with M/M romances (hi, Heated Rivalry) and that Melody had sung the very loud praises of renowned historical queer romance author Cat Sebastian's mid-century queer romance — particularly You Should Be So Lucky, which managed to combine baseball (one of Melody's true loves) with romance (Melody's secondary love). And listeners, I hope this is clear: when it comes to so many things, but romance in particular, I listen to Melody! And when Melody asked if we should try and get Cat on the pod, I said "obvi please try." AND THEN SHE MADE IT HAPPEN. This remains a total marvel of hosting a podcast: sometimes the people you admire so deeply... can also come on your pod. This is a long preamble to the overarching point: Cat Sebastian isn't just an absurdly talented (and successful) author of queer historical romance. She's also whipsmart when it comes to the crafting of these romances, the idea of vibes vs. plot (and third act break-ups in particular), how she translates the historical record, and so much more. This pod is for you if you're at all interested in romance, obviously, but also if you're at all interested in how we think about the past as a narrative playground. Final note: We had such a good time recording this episode and laughed one billion times — I hope that joy translates when you listen! GREAT NEWS: WE HAVE VERY GOOD EPISODE TRANSCRIPTS NOW!

This week, we're stealing a couple hours of your time to discuss The Rats: A Witcher Tale, the prequel movie that dropped at the same time as Season 4 and is designed to be watched after it…despite taking place well before. (The Witcher's up to its timeline shenanigans again, it seems.) Paired with the perfectly-themed Master of the Thieves Guild Blended Bourbon by Quest's End Whiskey, we keep things loose, lively and liquidated as we unpack the plots—meaning both the film's narrative and the Rats' plot to steal loads of cash—and try to figure out just what happened to this thing behind the scenes. Also, we come out in favor of bathing with a drunken Dolph Lundgren, debate the role of cephalopods in sex dens and reveal why when it comes to spider women, most movies just like to tease.

In this episode, Alix & Kayla explore stories from people who have transitioned and later detransitioned, unpacking the deeply personal, emotional, and complex experiences behind those journeys. From informed consent and puberty to trauma, social influence, and the evolving language around gender identity, they discuss how identity formation can shift over time—and why holding space for nuance matters.Through anonymous community stories and open conversation, they reflect on how gender, sexuality, and self-perception intersect with mental health, relationships, and the pressure to “figure it out” too quickly.This is a compassionate, layered conversation about gender identity, detransition stories, queer community belonging, and the reality that self-discovery isn't always linear.00:00 – Intro + Life Updates in Nicaragua 02:00 – Hyperfixations & Mormon Memoirs 04:20 – Marriage “Would You Rather” Game 15:20 – Today's Topic: Transition & Detransition Stories 16:00 – News Story: Malpractice Case & Gender-Affirming Care 20:00 – What “Detransition” Means 22:00 – Informed Consent & Medical Decision-Making 26:30 – Why This Conversation Matters in Queer Spaces 30:00 – Anonymous Story: Transition, Fertility & Identity 32:00 – Puberty, Body Changes & Gender Confusion 38:30 – Trauma, Identity & Transition Motivations 44:00 – Social Influence, Language & Self-Understanding 48:00 – Internalized Misogyny & Gender Expectations 52:00 – Does Transition Resolve Dysphoria? 55:00 – Therapy, Root Causes & Identity Exploration 58:30 – Growing Up Tomboy & Gender Expression 01:02:00 – The Complexity of Identity & Final Thoughts
