Behold! We have entered a new era of HTBQ!

This week we are bringing you new content, and all wrapped up in a shiny brand new format!! Okay so let us tell you about the new format now.

Picture it! Sicily, 1912...

This week on HTBQ (each episode in the new format will be chunked into segments):

S1: Life Update! Each panelist provides the panel with a life update! It can be big or small, it can be in the form of a story, it can be trivial or super important, who knows who cares just give us the juice please!

S2: Queer-ent Events! Each panelist brings with them a piece of queer news that has happened since the last episode. The panelist will be in charge of teaching the panel about that news and fielding any questions other panelists may have, which might include some on the fly googling. This week, the panel highlights jojo siwa, hiv meds, and drag race.

S3: In Queer Terms! The panelists discuss the 2SLGBTQPNIA+ vocabulary word of the episode. This segment is meant to help build your understanding of and increase your exposure to words that are common in queer circles (so you start to feel more comfortable in your allyship of queer ppl - we love you we need you allies!). This week, the panel provides the meaning of the term U=U.

S4: Guest Q&A! No guest this week, but there will be in the future! When we have guests, they will become panelists for the other segments and will also answer 3-4 questions that Sam & Chris want answered!

S5: Panel Discussion! The panel discussion a contentious topic of the day. Or maybe it isn't contentious. Maybe it's just a topic. The panel discusses a topic! And this week, the panel discusses 2021 in review.

*panelist refers to the hosts and any guests
