To close out their triumphant season one, Hunter and Tucker let the listeners guide the finale, opening up the QCC mailbag to answer, cry, and laugh through submissions from beloved Queer Coded Country titleholders. After 20 episodes of unpacking their journeys through the closet, coming out, and wishing Liza Minelli a happy birthday, it’s the titleholders' turn to steer the conversation.

We’re going on summer hiatus, but there will not be a shortage of Queer Coded Country content. Follow QCC on Youtube and send us an email at [email protected]

Y’all come back now, Ya QUEER!

Inspired by a sweaty, euphoric night at the Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour, Hunter and Tucker unpack the parallels between Beyoncé’s reimagining of Americana and the spirit of Queer Coded Country. 

They dive deep into the show's emotional highs, the queerness embedded in its vision, and the ways Beyoncé makes space for identities long shut out of country and Americana.

This is about art that reclaims history and helps queer Southerners like Hunter and Tucker reclaim themselves in the process.

@bennydrama7’s new Amazon Prime show Overcompensating hit so close to home that Hunter and Tucker had to do a whole episode about the pressure to fit in and how it drives so many of us to overcompensate (sometimes to the point of literally twisting your sacrum).

This episode explores the lifelong performance of queer identity: the pressure to blend in before coming out, and the pressure to be the “right kind of gay” after. From Tucker saying yes to a straight guy mountain biking trip to Hunter faking a porta potty hookup, it’s a look at the different lives queer folks have to live before we finally get to live authentically.

Do we like The Real Housewives as much as sports fans love their teams? Hunter and Tucker take Hunter’s harrowing hometown baseball experience (Go Razorbacks) and try to understand the intense fanaticism by comparing it to their faves, The Real Housewives.

They unpack how both worlds are full of wild passion, fierce loyalty, and inexplicable screaming over adult strangers.

What’s the difference between a walk-up song and a Housewives tagline? Not much, hun.

📣 Whether you're cheering for a home run or slurring in a Lady Gaga bubble costume, this one’s for the lovers of drama, devotion, and losing your voice over it.

When you’re young, queer, and still figuring things out, the smallest details can reveal the biggest truths. After an elongated but important How’s your mom n ‘em? Hunter and Tucker take a walk through their early years, where a yellow backpack was too bold, science was green, and how you held your books could be a dangerous tell. 

Add this episode to your school supplies list and get a bedazzler, we’re accessorizing! 

From broken pinkies to “Bring It On” spirit fingers, Hunter and Tucker hit the bench and reflect on their complicated relationship with sports growing up. Hunter, raised by a local baseball hero, and Tucker, whose athletic highlight was auditioning for mascot via self-tape. #Masc4mascot anyone? Toxic masculinity and bullying kept them from developing a healthy connection with sports early on, but bright spots like Bring It On and A League of Their Own showed them there was greener grass on the other side.

There are two f(l)ags on this play and that’s exactly how we like it.

Life is a talent show, and Queer Coded Country is about to win the State Fair. Hunter and Tucker dig in to their past award-winning (of course) performances from old man drag to being a “lousy virgin”. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re performing for your senior year of middle school or a private karaoke booth, showing off your talent is a declaration of self.

Happy birthday Liza!!!

Summer camps are a place for bonding, self-discovery, and for us, a little bit of trauma.

Hunter and Tucker revisit the camps that gave them a peek of a bigger world when home was too small.

And buckle your belts, they also debut the Queer Coded Country Conservation Camp Commune Compound: No toxic masculinity, no shame - just vibes, Housewives, and a kiddie pool of Jergens. We fixed camp. You’re welcome.
