Dyking Out - a Lesbian and LGBTQIA Podcast for Everyone!

Dyke worlds collide in this episode featuring Rachel Scanlon & McKenzie Goodwin from the Two Dykes and a Mic podcast. And with two sets of platonic co-hosts on hand, what better topic than exploring the world of queerplatonic relationships! How are queer friendships different? Is it possible to just be close friends with another queer person if you're attracted to their gender? Does having an abundance of queer friends make a difference? How do you maintain a close relationship and not catch feelings? Also, why won't Carolyn cuddle with Melody? Is it strange that Rachel and McKenzie are blocking sexual acts, or is it just another Tuesday? Plus, Carolyn indulges Melody's Huskies talk, but gets her back with TMI about hamster urine. Finally, we hear from a listener who is worried about regretting not playing the field before settling down.

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. Can you tell if someone is a lez just by looking at them? What's that thing that makes you see someone and think "they're on my team?" Are style choices just holdovers from previous decades, or are we just admiring the trends that came before us? Has our fashion always influenced the straights, or is TikTok making us mainstream? But first, Melody breaks down why Demi dodged a bullet, and Carolyn confesses her questionable lesbian fashion choice. Then again, isn't a utilitarian fashion choice the most lesbian of all? Finally, we end with a listener question that coincidently ties nicely into our banter about Demi's ex-fiance.

Put down that Delia's catalogue and tie your best flannel around your waist because we're dyking out about the Gay 90s with media maven Dana Piccoli (Queer Media Matters)! What is the women's soft rock, the riot grrrls, the gentle teen bop boys who reminded us of girls we crushed on? What exactly made the 90s so gay? Also, was the movie Foxfire kept hidden at Blockbuster for fear that it would turn an entire generation gay? Is Chasing Amy still annoying to watch? We answer as many of these questions as we can before mom picks up the phone and breaks our internet connection. Plus, Dana sells us on revisiting Showgirls now that we can watch it without having to buy tickets for Hackers before sneaking into the theater. Before we get to that schweet nostalgia convo, Carolyn reveals her gayest thing that MUST be kept hidden from Rosie. And, Melody may or may not have joined a cult. Finally, we end with a listener question that has us gushing. We hope you get jiggy with this episode. If not, you can talk to the hand.

Weber? I hardly know her! Yes, it's the first week in March, but it's never too soon to talk about grilling! Especially when home chef and author Julia Turshen is on hand to discuss tips, tricks, and best practices for this cooking method that isn't inherently queer but sure feels queer. Julia answered all our burning questions like, what are the best things to grill? Do you need 'dad' jokes in your back pocket to be a grill master? Charcoal or propane? And why can't cis men stop flipping and poking things? Before firing up the grill convo, we learn about the L Word-inspired recipe in her latest cookbook Simply Julia (out now) and her other approachable (and delicious) recipes. Plus, Melody asks Carolyn to clear up her past stance on Joss Whedon (boooo!), we tell you how much we care about I Care A Lot, and take a second to dunk on Oreo. Finally, we answer a question from an in-the-closet listener who is wondering about timing.

What's 'The City Of Lights' like for les lesbians? Canadian singer-songwriter Mélissa Laveaux has spent the last 13 years living in gay ol' Paris and has some THOUGHTS. Mélissa takes us on a journey from her Canadian and Hatian roots, to her fatphobic immigration experience, to experiences with relationships and racism, and more. She pulls back the curtain on common misconceptions about French culture and life in the big city we love (despite our many critiques and questionable experiences). Plus, Carolyn and Melody blow off some steam after online attacks from Gen Z queers. And finally, we end with a question that digs up our past rebound trauma. Sending extra love this week to our Texan U-Haulers!

Hello Dykes and Bykes! We have a PANtastic episode with the one and only Natasha Negovanlis (Carmilla, Vanlis Presents) about the myths and misconceptions surrounding Bi and Pan identities. What are they, and why are they still so prevalent? Do Bi and Pan folks feel like they have to adjust their gender and sexuality performance based on who they're with? We ultimately resolve every single issue that Bi/Pan people face and do so in a record amount of time. We also might need to mail Natasha our Gay Champion Of The Week trophy, because her gayest thing takes the crown. But first, the review of The Word To Come you never knew you wanted. Plus, Carolyn accidentally invents a new term for her vag, and Melody rages against robocalls. Finally, we end with a questions from a listener whose roommate is making things weird.

We're serving up sapphic scoops with comedian Liza Dye, all in the name of good, clean, and hopefully not mean, celesbian fun. When she's not writing for TV shows or being asked about her well-known, traumatic NYC experience, Liza runs a popular celesbian gossip insta account. We talk about why we love to know whose vaping courtside together, and how it's different than coverage of straight celebs. From Kenny to Cara to Queen Latifah, we shared our thoughts and theories. By the way, if you hear little whimpers in the background, those are from Liza's dogs and NOT Armie Hammer's next meal. Plus, our resident scam-lover got scammed, and Carolyn advances the gay agenda in corporate America. Finally, we wrap it up with a question from a listener who is having a rough time getting rough in bed.

What's it like to come out to your mom as gay when your mom is also gay? Drummer/singer/songwriter Barbara Gruska (The Belle Brigade) dykes out with us about having a Banana Republic lesbian for a mom. From going to gay bars together to having to hear her mom's thoughts on Sharon Stone, there are so many experiences that are unique to mother-daughter dykes. We were sure to ask all the questions Barb never wanted to think about and more! Speaking of Dyke moms, we review the new French film Two Of Us and speculate on upcoming releases. Plus, which queer icon is getting a divorce? And why is Carolyn happy about it? Finally, we end on a question from a Patron who has a question about popping the question.

Three comedians hop on a mic to talk about killing, but not the kind we strive to do in front of audiences. Comedian, writer, and podcaster Kai Choyce (Women Who Kill podcast) joins us to talk about the women who snap, retaliate, plot, vamp, or are straight up psycho. How do perceptions of murderers differ based on gender? Have we achieved murder parity? What are the signs you might be dating a murderer? Is it weird to have a favorite? Why are there two famous Australian lesbian vampire murder stories? Plus, Carolyn can't help but objectify the new first and second families, and Melody trades baby formula for allyship. We also chat about JoJo Siwa, Teenage Bounty Hunters, and the latest export from Bali. Finally, we end with a question from a listener who is banned from attending her girlfriend's family gatherings.

According to Irene Merrow (Betches, Vice), sex work is a lot like comedy. And as someone who performs both, she would know! Learn all about the struggle of being a sex worker during a pandemic and the reality of trying to earn a living on OnlyFans. We also talk about the misguided policies that put sex workers out of work and in danger's way. Plus, you'll learn about Melody's new career ambitions that she shares for the first time. Will she join the ranks of funny queer ladies with a NSFW camera roll? Before we get to the sexy stuff, we gush about the new Netflix series featuring the most dykonic New Yorker that we can't get enough of. And, Carolyn checks in with Melody to make sure she doesn't risk getting red-pilled. Finally, we end with a listener question that might spawn ten related listener questions. But we read it anyway because we love our U-Haulers and want you to get out of your heads and into your beds.
