How To Be Queer

episode 17 - what is queer?


Listen Later

Another fun experiment!

This week, we are giving you a solo experience, the first ever solo venture by one of Sam and Chris!

We want to bring you lots of variety in our content. This week, we thought we would try a new format where one of the hosts tells you about something they learned, some research they did, or something they want to talk about or teach to you. This episode, we are looking at the history and contemporary usage of the word queer - meta, eh?

On this episode, Chris sits down and explains the origin, first use, pejorative uses, reclamation, and current uses of the word queer. A flirty trial episode - let us know what you think!

PS: We will be attempting a biweekly schedule, so you can look for us again in your podcast feeds every other Tuesday, with the next episode scheduled for December 21!

PSS: We are hiatusing (that's a word) for the holigays, so our next two episodes will be rereleases of full versions of our two-part episodes! Stay tuned for those - our next episode with brand new content will be airing January 18, 2022!
