Junk Drawer: Thrifting, Kirkiversary, Rogue AI, and Millennial Optimism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why on earth are prices so high at thrift stores? A year after the killing of Charlie Kirk and taxpayers’ unwitting role in the slew of 2025 firings. AI scientists need an old school whupping, not for what they’ve created but for what they actually haven’t. Gen Zers fantasize about millennial optimism, but are we (two millennials) sure we remember that? Stay for Going/Not Going, starring a very chesty male (hint: it’s *shockingly* not Jeremy Camp).

The Disappearers w/ Marlon James (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Disappearers is a book of the decade, and we’re so glad to share our conversation with its author, Marlon James. Set in 1980’s Jamaica, this epistolary gay revenge thriller (yes, it’s all of those things), chronicles the lives of eight gay men following an attack. What does it mean for our culture to disappear us? How can people disappear, but not leave? This is a career-defining work, and you don’t want to miss this unruly and heartfelt conversation. Stay for our new version of the game, “G
Feels Like Somebody’s Watching Me: Surveillance Capitalism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In today’s world, we are always giving up our privacy for the promises of safety, connection, and convenience. But is the tradeoff worth it? In this episode, we explore how surveillance companies like Flock are actually making our neighborhoods more unsafe, why you just can’t seem to stop swiping (and paying for it!), and why nothing may have an actual price anymore. Stay for a revamped game at the end. We’re calling it “Going/Not Going” where we tell you what trend, person, or other aspect of c
Let’s Talk About Catfishing [TEASER] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For this patreon-only conversation, we met up at a local favorite, Americano Lounge , to discuss the many forms catfishing takes in queer communities. Both of us have been catfished more times than we can remember. Once you spend enough time on the apps , you of course develop something of a sixth sense when it comes to grainy, overcropped photographs and chatty blank profiles. But we also recognize the pressures bearing down on us—the pressures to be fit, masc, white, and young in order to be d
Standing Tall w/ Rep. Gloria Johnson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Member of the ‘Tennessee Three’ Rep. Gloria Johnson is an educator at heart. Sometimes, that means being a teacher voice in the legislature (read: asking her republican colleagues ‘if you can hear me clap once!’ ‘if you can hear me clap twice!’), but it always means standing in the gap for all Tennesseeans. Join us in this honest conversation about Gloria’s new podcast, Standing Tall with Gloria Johnson , and spilling a little sweet tea on corruption in Tennessee politics. • Rep. Gloria’s Social
