A Field Guide to Gay Animals

A Field Guide to Gay Animals

DoubleDouble Podcasts from Canadaland

Official Selection of the 2024 Tribeca Audio Festival.

Selected as one of Apple Podcasts Favourites of 2024 so far.


Strap on your binoculars and lace up your boots: A Field Guide to Gay Animals explores sexuality, gender, and joy in the animal world.


Hosts Owen Ever and Laine Kaplan-Levenson take you on a quest to see beyond the natural world as we know it and into the natural world as it is: queer as f*ck.


Homosexuality has been documented in over 1,500 species of animals. From gay geese and bisexual bison to lesbian elephant love affairs and all-male, all-whale orgies, expressions of same-sex action in the animal queendom are all around us.


Owen and Laine are your intrepid guides to investigate this variety of animal behaviors – exploring the depths of the ocean, the heart of the forest, and the bushes in your backyard – to dive deep into nuanced conversations about queerness in the animal world.


Cheeky and contemplative, curious and raunchy, Field Guide shows you the natural world is more exuberant, more joyful, and more gay than you could possibly imagine.

Coming in June, 2024.


Artwork features illustrations by John Megahan.

Synopsis: Owen, Laine and a 200 year-old gay tortoise explore the history of scientific research into gay animals. From gay swans to self-pleasuring elephants and amorous giraffes, they learn how scientists have been understanding and misunderstanding queerness in nature for centuries. And they introduce us to a bold researcher in the 1990’s who helped us see nature for what it is – queer as fuck.

The first episode from COMMONS newest season on cults. Click here to follow COMMONS, wherever your get your podcasts.


As organized religion declines in countries like Canada, we’ve experienced an explosion of what some call religious movements and what others call cults.


The idea of cults has become an omnipresent part of our discourse. But what even is a cult? And why have we become so intrigued by these groups?


And the language of cults has moved beyond just religion into so many different spheres — everything from fitness, to politics, to work.

A Field Guide to Gay Animals - COMMONS: Monopoly #1 - Lost in the Supermarket
play

12/27/22 • 28 min

We wanted to share an episode with you from another show on the network, COMMONS! This season they are digging into monopolies and asking, is there something special about Canada that makes it especially hospitable to monopolies? To listen to the rest of the COMMONS: Monopoly season, use this link or search COMMONS in your favourite podcast app.


Canadians are being squeezed at every end. When it comes to cell phone bills, grocery bills, housing, entertainment, we’re all paying more than ever before.


But a small number of companies that dominate their industries are reaping in enormous profits.


This season of COMMONS we’ll be digging into all of the monopolies, oligopolies and cartels that dominate our lives. And for our first stop, we head to the supermarket.


Featured in this episode: Vass Bednar, Marco Chown Oved (Toronto Star)
