21 Good Trouble (Michelle Hope)

Explicit content warning

08/17/20 • 76 min

We are talking to Sexologist and Activist Michelle Hope about what it means to get into "good trouble." We discuss protesting, actionable items for allies, understanding generational trauma, and the importance of voting from the bottom.

Michelle teaches us about body autonomy, a terrifying history of the US using BIPOC women's bodies to develop birth control and medical tools, the complexities of drinking and consent, and feminism vs. intersectional feminism.

We also hear about how working in a strip club shaped Michelle's views of female sexuality and talk about the ways in which she has healed from physical and emotional trauma.

22 Coming Out as Straight (Lucas Connolly)

Comedian Lucas Connolly comes all the way from New York for this outrageously funny and didactic episode. He regales us with stories about being one of the earliest 'queerspawn;' growing up with four moms in Laramie Wyoming. We talk about Lucas' hooking up with guys just to make sure he wasn't gay, his Craigslist virginity loss story and a concerning trend he came across on Tik Tok.

Finally, him and Remy discuss the differences in discussion of body image and plastic surgeries in their households, fantasize about the "Genital Olympics," and wonder whether they are 'hot enough' to make it in comedy.
