April 19, 2023 23:22 - 1 hour

We're makin' it NICE this episode with our fave L-Word reviewer and writer, Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya! But we're not dyking out about Gen Q. We're dissecting the Real Housewives franchise for all the queer and queer-coded content it regularly serves up. These ladies are acting gay AND doing crimes, so what's more queer than that?

"The Coolest Lesbian Aesthetic" w/ Joanna Bradley (Re-Release)

December 27, 2022 18:52 - 1 hour

Madras shorts, Kangol hats, 'Menswear,' vests, bold blazers, purposefully bad dye jobs...the spectrum of style in our community is wide and varied. So what is the lesbian aesthetic? Writer and comedian Joanna Bradley (SNL, The Break with Michelle Wolf) reflects on her own style, and that of other queer women she's encountered over the years.

December 13, 2022 18:21 - 1 hour

If monogamy isn't for you, you never want to merge bank accounts with someone, but you're got a lot of love to give (and hope to receive it back), then perhaps solo polyamory is right for you! Comedian and writer Ashley Ray has been living that solo polyamory life (in a pandemic no less!) and joins us to correct common misconceptions about her love life.

"Not Being Near Men" w/ Casey Jane Ellison (Re-release)

November 29, 2022 05:38 - 1 hour

Dykes just wanna have fun, and here to tell us all about it is herlarious comedian, performer, and artist Casey Jane Ellison! It's hard to put into words what makes being a lesbian so dang fun, but that didn't stop us from trying! Is it the sex? The freedom from the male gaze? Underwater waterfalls? THE SEX? Is every commercial featuring a person slo-mo running through a field just an ad for lesbianism? Maybe it is, MAYBE IT IS, Plus, Carolyn and Melody reluctantly make New Year's Resolutions...

"Don't F*ck In Our Bathroom" w/ Jo McDaniel (Re-release)

November 22, 2022 05:06 - 1 hour

Our hearts are heavy with the tragedy at Club Q in Colorado Springs.

November 08, 2022 17:13 - 1 hour

NOTE: This interview took place before Molly started using they/them pronouns. We're in the thick of Pride month and cooked up this TREAT of an episode with the super funny and wonderful Molly Kearney (Saturday Night Live).

How did they survive being the meat in a triple bunk bed sandwich? Where do ...

Listen to Carolyn's new podcast Love's A Pitch on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Feeling fine after a night of four meme-inspired drinks, Editorial Director Kerensa Cadenas (New York Magazine) joins us to talk about sapphic TV, bisexual signaling, and dating.

"Rabbit Syphilis" w/ Maddie Wiener - Ep. 254

October 11, 2022 04:47 - 1 hour

Did we convince comedian Maddie Wiener (Comedy Central) to unplug and move to the country on this week's episode?

September 27, 2022 22:43 - 1 hour

We're recovering from Dinah Shore and are re-releasing another favorite ep from the archives. This episode is everything and nothing, because that's where we always end up when discussing labels.

August 30, 2022 03:55 - 1 hour

Fresh off influencing the gravitational pull of the moon amongst a sea of queers, writer/comedian/past guest Colette McIntyre joins us to talk about a complicated trip to a different kind of magical place. One with garbage cans worth stanning. One with shirts about wanting and giving the "D." One with riddles and pins and barbershop quartets and vegan soft serve.

August 16, 2022 18:19 - 1 hour

Maybe he knows it, maybe he doesn't, but Timothée Chalamet definitely needs comedian Rachel Kaly in his life. Rachel details her very relatable admiration of our favorite (and only) male dykon, along with a crazy wonderful story that proves we live in a simulation. So how did Rachel go from a Cracker Barrel shirt and tie-wearing nine-year-old telling jokes at Gotham, to a master Ellen DeGeneres impersonator, to an agent of hilarious onstage chaos? Give this ep a listen and find out! Plus, Mel...

August 02, 2022 03:05 - 1 hour

Comedian (and hopefully new bff of the pod) Sheria Mattis joins us to ask all the right questions about studs and fibroids.

"Lesbian Teenage Boy Phase" w/ Eman El-Husseini - Ep. 245

July 19, 2022 02:44 - 1 hour

If you're comedian Eman El-Husseini's therapist, DO NOT listen to this episode. We had so much fun catching up with Eman about all of her 'late in life' activities, like getting into edibles and terrible lesbian movies. Also, why do people in Buffalo allegedly hate Bon Jovi? Is it okay to compete in couples therapy? How can a bulldog be ugly? Are lesbian personal trainers better? And why does Eman want people to touch her arms, but "just a little?" Plus, our very different gayest things of th...

"Lesbian Word Vomit" w/ Liza Dye - Ep. 244

July 12, 2022 04:28 - 1 hour

Our favorite celesbian gossip queen, Liza Dye (@BettePorterGallery) takes a break from living her best Jenny Schecter life to share her thoughts on headline-making queers. From defending Cara Delevigne's public behavior, to calling out a that's-so-questionable marriage, to stanning the messiest queers . And yet, we don't get a change to dish on some of the top hot goss because we get derailed by corporate pride weirdness. But we do have time for Liza's glowing review of Love's A Pitch. Plus, ...

July 05, 2022 16:46 - 59 minutes

June 28, 2022 07:03 - 59 minutes

"The Gayest Town On Earth" w/ Mitra Kaboli - Ep. 241

June 21, 2022 03:48 - 59 minutes

Fresh off the release of her new podcast Welcome To Provincetown, award-winning audio documentarian Mitra Kaboli joins us to d*ke out about the town with seemingly few d*kes around! We do our best Nancy Drew impression and try to piece together why this gaycation destination centers cis gay men. For real, we want to know why aren't there lesbian orgies abound in the artsiest, most dog-friendly part of Cape Cod. Can not even the self-proclaimed Lord Of The Lesbians turn things around? Plus, wh...

We also talk about the struggle of being in a relationship with differing views on non-monogamy. Plus, Carolyn gushes about Girls In Wonderland, which she promises not to bring up until the next time she goes. And Melody...

June 07, 2022 04:36 - 1 hour

Get out your leather and *checks notes* American Revolution leotards? Because we're talking all things kink with writer, activist, and BDSM practitioner Yin Q! Okay, maybe not ALL things, but Melody and Carolyn ask Yin all the newbie and vulnerable questions we could think of. What stops people from exploring kink? What are read flags when playing with a more experienced kinkster? Where does one even start? What are common misconceptions? How can we be better allies to sex workers? Give it a ...

Get out your forks and dig into this ep featuring your new spaghetti-loving long-distance crush, Samee Junio (Historical Roasts on Netflix)! We're talking carbs, tattoos, dogs, long-distance relationships, astrology, and more. It's more like, what don't we talk about? Plus, how gay can one make karaoke? And can you watch a queer movie too many times? Also, what the hell happened to Quibi, and why is Melody the reason it didn't last? We're answering all the questions you never asked! Bon appét...
