Queer Times episodes

  • Where is the Accountability??

    Harrison and Kristen recap Provincetown’s winter storm, discussing widespread outages, reliance on electric mini-splits, cleanup, and the privilege of having gas heat and cooking. The conversation shifts to frustration with U.S. politics—war, the economy, Epstein, and lack of transparency—arguing that “America first” promises have collapsed and calling for vocal opposition. Harrison lays out a thesis that major societal failures stem from white men avoiding accountability, linking it to patriarchy, capitalism, and religion, and condemns Christianity as inherently oppressive and implicated in abuse.

  • Vote Gold No Matter Who

    Kristen and Harrison compare their own fitness journeys to the elite athletes competing at this year’s Winter Olympics — with a healthy mix of admiration and self-awareness. From ice time to endurance, they consider what it really takes to perform at the highest level.

    Kristen outlines her (semi-serious) plan for an Olympic debut and shares some strong opinions about exactly how hard she likes her ice.

    Then they shift to politics, unpacking the “vote blue no matter who” debate and thinking through what a genuinely unified left might look like.

    Sports, strategy, and a little ideology — all in one conversation.
