highlyeccentric | Weekend Listening Post (Reply)

It has been a LONG time since my last audio content post. I no longer remeber every single thing I've listened to. But here's some recommendations:

Non-fiction and Topical Discussion:

Continuing my interest in Two Bi Guys. I particularly enjoyed Bad Bisexuals with Jacob Engelberg; Jane Ward on sex between straight men and the follow-up; and the most recent episode with A Billy S Jones-Hennin and Chris Hennin-Jones.

Various of Productivity Alchemy by Kevin Sonney with Ursula Vernon, although I've definitely over-binged on that one.

The Gender Reveal podcast, from which I particularly enjoyed (links go to transcripts due to website layout): the revised 101 episode; the Cis Day of Visibility episode with Carmen Maria Machado, in which Tuck Woodstock talks with Machado about the existential horror of "having a gendered body"; episode 96B with John Paul Brammer aka Hola!Papi; Episode 82 with Kai Cheng Thom; Episode 62 with Cyrus Dunham; episode 67 with Niko Stratis.

The BBC podcast My Nonbinary Life, from the distant past (2019) when the BBC didn't unilaterally loathe an undermine all trans people. Bit surface-level, but also quite fun.

I returned to the Slightly Foxed podcast, and was pleased in particular with the episode on picnic at hanging rock for making multiple queer boarding school recommendations, and some non-white recommendations, even if the attempt to talk about Australian gothic and colonial anxiety was a bit ham-handed. It's an improvement for Slightly Foxed to even ATTEMPT that.

The Ezra Klein Show interview with Amia Srinivasan, which has a silly title but a really deft take on the "must we politicise our sexuality" question.

The High Theory Podcast episde with Eric Wade (medievalist) on Lust

The Menkind Podcast, starting with the episode with some bloke named Fred Langridge, most notable for having been in a *marbles cooperative* as a child; and followed up by the episode with Jay Hulme, which I enjoyed a surprising amount given my general leeriness of devout religious queer content AND my specific (no seriously, it's faintly ridiculous but it is A Thing) backstory with sexualising gothic architecture.

The LGBTQ&A podcast (I think run by one of the US media franchises?), two interviews with Kate Bornstein, who I continue to adore.

That is not all the things I have been listening to, but you'll have to wait for another night to hear about "shitposting in podcast form" and "podcast fiction". And more non-fiction, even, I've got several less queer podcasts on the go!
