This Feels Bi

Who famously U-hauled it to a Finnish island with her life partner? Tove Jansson, queer creator of the adorable, beloved Finnish illustrative series Moomin, or Moomintrolls.

Joined by artist, performer, and Zine-creator Taylor Blackwell, we delve into the whimsical, wonderful queer utopia that is Moominvalley, unpacking the queer history of Tove and her work, which has experienced a renaissance in recent years, especially among the queer community. Taylor discusses their own relationship to Tove Jansson and Moomin, the sapphic symbolism of ghosts, which Moomin character Taylor resonates most with, and whether or not Paddington Bear and Nyan Cat feel queer (spoiler: the answer is yes). Come on an adventure through Moominvalley with us, bi babes, and soak up the wonder and whimsy! 🌈

Break out your Post-it's + matching blue and pink fits 🩷🩵 bi babes, and get ready for an episode in honor of the groundbreaking 1997 sleepover staple: Romy and Michele's High School Reunion and its subsequent off-Broadway musical adaptation.

Joined by THE Heather Mooney of Romy & Michele: The Musical, Jordan Kai Burnett, we unpack the non-traditional, queer-coded friendship at the center of the story (two high femmes obsessed with one another), Jordan's experience playing Heather Mooney in the musical adaptation, Lisa Luder's iconic white suit, bicon Alan Cumming, why Amanda has never been to her high school reunion, and Erin's theory that this movie was a David Lynch favorite. Throw on Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" and grab Sandy Frink + your high femme bff as we dance our way through this queer-coded classic.

Break out your Vans + Hot Topic because today we're talking about THE one and only Warped Tour🤘(cue nostalgia).

With the help of queer romance author Becca Grischow, a self-described "writer of books for Warped Tour bisexuals," we unpack the queer overtones / undertones of the longest-running traveling music festival in North America, the skateboard / emo aesthetic, pop punk music in all of its queer-coded complexities, Becca's theory of "the sapphic meridian" that builds off of comedian Chris Fleming's theory of Girlos, and which songs were our own personal queer anthems.

Get ready to head-bang your way through this episode, bi babes (especially when Amanda sings Fall Out Boy).

On Thursdays we wear pink 💖 + drop a new episode dedicated entirely to the movie, the myth, the *very queer* and queen bee-filled legend… MEAN GIRLS 👑🐝

Joined by Jamie Lotfus, Emmy-nominated comedy writer, NYT bestselling author, and Webby-winning host of the podcast The Bechdel Cast, we unpack "weird brunette on hot blonde crime," which characters feel the most queer and queer-coded (spoiler: there's more than you think!), The Plastics' high femme fashion, the iconic choreographed "Jingle Bell Rock" sequence, the Regina George / Janis Ian lore that's fueled decades-long discourse in the queer community, and the time Jamie really DID make out with a hotdog on stage.

Get in, bi babes, we're diving into the eternal queer appeal of Mean Girls. 💕

🍎 🍒🌳🎃… that's right bi babes, in this episode, we'll be tackling the most recent campy, queer-coded, cult classic to hit theaters… Forbidden Fruits (2026) directed by Meredith Alloway.

Join us in our virtual Free Eden as we dissect the film's influences and its queer-coded cinematic DNA, like Mean Girls (2004), Jennifer's Body (2009), The Craft (1996), and more. We dive into why covens are inherently bi, the film's biblical references and why Lilith is a feminist icon, Apple's lesbian nails, Victoria Pedretti's iconic performance as Cherry, Marilyn Monroe as patron saint, and sapphic final girls. 🩸💖 The bi coven just clocked in…

P.s. We're taking a spring break for the next few weeks, but don't worry babes, we'll be back with some REALLY exciting episodes when we return!

Soft-swinging, #MomTok, and the impossible double bind of being a Mormon woman in 2026… sounds kinda bi to us. 👀 We're joined by ex-Mormon content creator, TikTok commentator, and host of the Girlscamp Podcast, Hayley Rawle, as we dive into the cultural phenomenon that is The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Hayley brings her insider, ex-Mormon lens to the show, unpacking how purity culture, religious shame, and patriarchal gender roles create a pressure cooker ripe with repressed sexuality. We discuss the queerness bubbling beneath MomTok's glossy, curated surface, why swinging scandals can be common in a high-demand religion, the particular shame the LDS church has historically inflicted on queer people…. and how that shows up all over this series. Whether you're a die-hard MomTok devotee, a curious outsider, or a fellow ex-Mormon processing it all in real time, this one's for you, bi babes. 🌸

Once upon a time on a pod not far away… two bi pod princesses and their heroic guest, Alley Horn, bi writer of the Webby award-nominated podcast Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest, embarked on a quest to excavate the queerness in the storytelling tradition of fairy tales.

Alley shares her own experience in adapting fairy tales through a 2026 lens as we dive into fairy tale tropes with arguably bi undertones: like metamorphosis, the enchanted forest, disguise, and fairy godmothers, discussing whether or not Cinderella is queer-coded, contemporary work that queers fairy tales, why "Shrek" is a queer love story, and why Robin Hood is our bisexual king. 👑 Join us as we put the FAIRY in fairy tales! 🧚 📖

The Golden Age of Hollywood: filled with starlets, blues, the transition of silent films to talkies, and… the infamous (very sapphic) Hollywood Sewing Circle. 🎞️🎼

Joined by actor, writer, content creator and host of The Good Bi Podcast, Charmeé Taylor, we introduce a new type of This Feels Bi episodes—our juicy, historical deep dives. Listen as we uncover the secret history of Old Hollywood's clandestine sapphic "club" known as The Hollywood Sewing Circle and discuss rumored members such as Josephine Baker and Marlene Dietrich (both spies!), as well as figures from the Harlem Renaissance such as Billie Holiday, Gladys Bentley, and Ma Rainey (who may or may not have thrown the best sapphic orgies we've ever heard of). We also dive into the Hayes Code and its impact on queer Hollywood, and imagine what our lives would've been like if we'd been around to witness "buffet parties" 😏. It's gonna be a JUICY ride!

Get ready to *fangirl* because in this episode we're joined by the iconic performer and singer Gabriella Pizzolo of STRANGER THINGS and PRETTY LITTLE LIARS: ORIGINAL SIN fame, as we nerd out over the *very queer-feeling* cultural phenomenon that is COMIC-CON 🦹🏻‍♀️.

Gabriella compares her experiences at Comic-Con vs Stranger-Con, how the fandom and community found at Comic-Con can have parallel energy to the experience of going to Pride, how liberating and exploratory cosplay can be, and shares what playing roles in TV shows and stage productions with portrayals of queerness has meant to them on their own personal queer journey.

Break out those comics and cosplay, bi babes, as we adventure to the queer heart of Comic-Con 👾

Wanting to be on Broadway? Feels bi. Broadway itself? ALSO feels bi... (Or at the least, very very queer.) Yes, bi bi babes, get ready to be razzle-dazzled as we chassé our way into the wonderfully queer world of BROADWAY with Tony and Grammy-award winning performer and singer, Lauren Patten!

Beginning with her first Broadway performance as Medium Alison in Alison Bechdel's musical phenomenon "Fun Home," onto her award-winning performance as Jo in "Jagged Little Pill," Lauren discusses her own queer journey alongside her Broadway career, and how stepping into queer roles may have informed her own understanding of her queerness. We discuss why the *essence* of Broadway feels so queer, Broadway's portrayal of bi characters such as Maureen in "Rent" and Cliff Bradshaw in "Cabaret," and which gender-swapped roles Lauren would love to play. Get those jazz hands out, bi babes, as we tackle the musical world of BROADWAY.
