September 09, 2021 Define the Relationship
In this week's episode, Chelsee and Christina use a relationship smorgasbord to define the relationship. Forget will they/won't they drama, what we're really interested in is "how, and how much, will they?"
There are a lot of of relationship smorgasbords and relationship anarchy tools out there, but here is the one we used: https://www.phoenyxenterprising.com/relating.html

Avoiding things that are popular;

Our theories on why straight women like content about gay men;

Quintessential queer experiences;

Writing about an identity other than your own;

Author's we want to be friends with (and maybe date);

Perfect nights with chosen families.

July 01, 2021Stay Queer and Unbuttoned (the bi's are back in town!!)
Chelsee & Christina muse about their anxieties and excitement for what life in a "re-opened" world might look like.
Some things discussed:
Have we gotten more queer in the last year?

How do we communicate the ways we've changed?

How do we stay out of the closet after a year of not having to think about the closet much at all?

Social anxiety: what if our friends don't want to hang out with us?

What if there are people *we* don't really want to hang out with anymore?

How much can we, and do we want to, curate our lives going forward?

Will we be better at leaving social situations we don't want to be in?

April 22, 2021The Future of Coming Out
Love it or hate it, 'coming out' is a core part of the queer experience as it exists today. But what if coming out could look different? We're talking about what we hope the future our coming out looks like and what we see in the utopian future of our dreams.
We also discuss how we're feeling now that The Bi Pod is out in the world and people are listening!
Mentioned in this episode:
Catie Disabato on Call Your Girlfriend;

Love Is Blind and men talking about their feelings (also on Call Your Girlfriend!);

The bi+ season of 'Are You The One?' (Chelsee mistakenly said 'The Challenge' -- sorry for mixing up MTV reality shows!)
