1 hr 4 min - Episode 3: Gay Penguins
The first episode on what might become a series on gay and/or transgender animals. We start with the general idea of same-sex attraction in animals and using animals to argue about whether being gay is "natural".
Skip to 34:10 if you just want to hear about gay penguins.
Trigger warning: brief mention of nonconsensual sex in a hypothetical example about humans from 50,000 years ago. Skip 20:15 to 21:05 to avoid that part of the episode.
Bonus content: Alyssa’s cat sneezing
