Kinda Kyle reads from a story written in childhood and tries to find queer coded characters along the way--(spoiler alert, they're there!). In "The Witches Curse" Nicholas is a 10 year old boy in 18th century England. After Agatha bullies him one too many times, Nicholas decides to cast a spell on her. There's just one little thing. She's a witch! And now Nicholas is doomed for all eternity with the Witches *Witch's* curse!

Kinda Kyle writes a letter to Kinda Kyle on self-care, self-love, and what that really means. What is the *healthy* balance between self-care and caring for others? How do we learn the language of self-love when we have never been taught it?

Kinda Kyle grapples with a love language that doesn't involve 3 am booty calls.

Learn how to enact the "you are the bitch you seek" philosophy into your life!

Kinda Kyle talks about creativity in a digital space. What is queer creative content? And how do we qualify certain queer creative content as more valuable than others? Kinda Kyle describes their own experiences as a queer artist, questioning the role of marketing and gathering a following as a digital creator. Also, a new catchphrase is made: sad gay rubber chicken.

In this week's spooky Christmas adventure, Kinda Kyle and Galen discuss the possible gay alignments of the ghosts of A Christmas Carol, and dish on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's tragic fascination with séances and fairies. They delve into Boston's murky history of spiritualism and séances to unlock Harry Houdini's efforts to expose the witch of Lime Street, the mysterious Mina Crandon- and get a little spooky and a little gay along the way.

Welllllll shit.

Kinda Kyle gets high (again) and talks about election things and stuff. 

Would 2020 have even happened if more people listened to My Chemical Romance? Rhetorical question: no!

Kinda Kyle (Asshole!) and guest host Roxanne (Slut!) discuss The Rocky Horror Picture Show, cult films, camp, and queerness. Is Rocky Horror a good movie without audience participation? What's the difference between Rocky Horror, Showgirls, and The Room? Are they all equally campy and queer cult films? What makes a good cult film? Join Kinda Kyle and Roxanne as they answer none of these questions and take shots of Dr. McGillicuddy.
