We’re back! After four years of making The Bi Pod, we thought it was time to reintroduce ourselves. In this episode, we talk about our paths to bisexuality, a few tidbits from our day-to-day lives, and some of our favorite episodes from the archive. Whether you're new here or a longtime listener, welcome (back) to the pod.

We’re talking about one of our favorite shows, Heartstopper! Season three of the show covers a lot of ground, including some tough and complicated topics but still features the tenderness and queer joy we know and love. 

In this episode, we start with some of the more difficult topics, so you can skip ahead if that’s not good for you today. 

• Between ~2:30-5:00 we discuss our feelings about the show in general, which includes mentions of Charlie’s eating disorder.

• We discuss the ED plot line in more detail between ~5:00-14:30. 

• We discuss Elle’s experience of transphobia between ~14:30-22:30.

This episode is our last of this season! We’ll be back with more episodes (and some fun updates) soon!

We're talking about Christina’s new poetry chapbook,The Ways I Tried to Call You Home, which is available for preorder now! It is a book of break up poems, and we had a great time chatting about leaning into the breakup poem genre, and constructing a narrative out of nonlinear experiences. We also talk about compulsory heterosexuality which is, unfortunately, related to the themes in the book.

You can preorder your own copy here:https://ko-fi.com/s/c8703c4079

We’re also hosting a launch party for the book at Recreational Coffee in Long Beach at 4pm on 2/22. Stop by if you’re in the area!

On this week’s Patreon-exclusive episode, we’re talking about bisexuality in the context of relationships! How do you know you’re still bisexual when you’re in a monogamous relationship, or when you’re not seeing anyone? How do you show up as your whole self in relationships? We also muse about bisexuality in the time of gender crisis (now).

We're talking about the film adaptation of Wicked! Since we work in queer media, we are of course holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity (and also for Jonathan Bailey).

We’re talking about relationships (of all kinds)! Why are we in them, and what do we want out of them? What happens when we seek companionship in AI rather than each other?

We’re back with a brand new season! We’re talking about what we like (and don't like) about the holidays to design our own holigay, and playing smash or pass with holiday movie tropes. Finally, we craft an elaborate Christmas movie plot that requires our listeners to act as Santa. Tell us what you think about these Hallmark tropes in the comments!
