October 26, 2024Ep. 27: Lesbian vampires and sword-fighting bisexuals
Is your p**** green? This week, we unpack the wildest, most offensive thing Cynthia Erivo has ever seen. To wrap up LGBTQ+ history month, we venture back to the 1600s when the Blood Countess was allegedly serial killing girls, and Julie d'Aubigny was bagging baddies and fleeing the city. Also Koko the gorilla was bisexual I guess?

October 18, 2024Ep. 26: They're queering AI and transing mosquitoes
Halloween has come early this year; Today we're talking "Rocky Horror" discourse and a newly-announced TV adaptation of the horror novel "Manhunt." We also discuss scientists turning the freakin' mosquitos trans, and Grindr training a gay AI chatbot by making it watch hundreds of hours of "Rupaul's Drag Race." And perhaps the scariest part of all...Kidz Bop is covering Chappell Roan.

October 04, 2024Ep. 24: Gay-on-gay IG beef; Ryan Murphy you will pay
*Content warning: In this episode, we discuss sexual abuse, incest and murder.

In case you were confused, drag is not misogynistic! Even when it's a "man mocking periods"! This week on BICONIC, we dig into some gay-on-gay Instagram beef from the "Selling Sunset" world. And we look into Ryan Murphy's highly controversial new season of "Monsters" which kind-of-not-really tells the story of the Menendez Brothers murder case.

August 02, 2024Ep. 20: Futch Night is a TikTok rizz party; We are not here for HIV discourse
We're talking about the Olympics again, obvi. Was the opening ceremony blasphemous? How is Grindr protecting queer athletes? Are the cardboard beds really stopping anyone from hooking up? And, we look into some discourse surrounding Futch Night, specifically allegations that the event caters only to white lesbian Swifties. Lastly, weirdos are trying to slut-shame people who take PrEP, so we thought this would be the perfect time for a crash course on the HIV/AIDs epidemic. Know your queer history before acting a fool online!!
