S2: Queer-ent Events! Each panelist brings with them a piece of queer news that has happened since the last episode.

This week we bring you the FULL LENGTH episode, both parts 1 and 2, of our intimate conversation with the amazing, dynamic duo, Maddie (she/her) and Rachel (she/her)!!!

*hold for applause*

On this episode, Sam and Chris talk to this gorgeous couple about their adventures in being together, including moving in together, moving across the country together, moving back in with family together. Always on the go these two! This deep dive into the relationship of these two women will have you saying "I want some lady lovin too!", and here at How To Be Queer we absolutely do encourage it!

PS: We will be attempting a biweekly schedule, so you can look for us again in your podcast feeds every other Tuesday, with our next episode scheduled for January 18th! It will be full of brand new content and a brand new format!

This week, we are coming to you with our first replay! Sam and Chris are taking a quick snooze for the holigays, but what are the holigays without queer content!! This week we bring you the FULL LENGTH episode, both parts 1 and 2, of our intimate conversation with the one and only TARYN (she/her)!!!

On this episode, Sam and Chris get to the bottom of Taryn. What makes her tick? Is it that charm, smile, humour? What is it!!!

(spoiler alert: she is pansexual and wants everyone to know.)

Taryn is a regulation hawtie and we are ready to pull up a seat and listen to what she has to say. Get some dating advice, get some queer understandings, get some vine references. You literally name it, it's probably in this episode.

PS: We have been pretty good at keeping on schedule!! This means you can likely expect our next replay on January 4, our conversation with maddie & rachel!!

Sponsorships: off for this episode

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!
