Queer and Queerer podcast Ep. 9 & 10 Fetishes and a whole lot more

Zack has never heard Peterson’s “From Soup to Nuts” expression, but it apparently defines our tenth episode well! After several mono-topical episodes, we dramatically over-compensate by limiting discussion on any topic to three minutes. We have a big pile of topics in a hat. Some were submitted by listeners, but we each contributed some of our without the other knowing what they are. We don’t get to them all, but we do address a total of 19 topics! Tune in to hear about Muslims, Catholics, Country Music, Goth, Glee, pansexuality, hats, and more! Special thanks to Gavin, Christopher, Peter, Scott, and everyone else who submitted topic ideas this week!

Last week Zack and I recorded Episode 9 but I took to the Philadelphia Trans Health Conference before I could post it. So here it is!

Fetishes, Kinks, and Masturbation, Oh My! This week, Zack and Peterson delve into the topic of the sexually taboo! Why are kinks and fetishes taboo? What role does religion play in sexual repression and how can one’s faith intersect with the exploration of one’s sexuality? In what ways is the progress of the queer community impacted (for better or worse) by the kink, leather, and BDSM communities? The goal of today’s episode is not to be a tell-all about kink, but to open the door to having conversations about the taboo and showing support for the safe and consensual exploration of sexuality. (And it makes perfect sense to talk about sex when all the school buses are going by!)

Also, we need your help for next week’s episode. It’s going to be our “Topics out of a hat” episode, and we need you to suggest topics! They can be deep, shallow, serious, silly, political, social, or whatever. We’ll pick ten and talk for 3 minutes about each! Share them with us on Facebook or Twitter (@zackford and @p2son)!

Queer and Queerer Ep. 7 – Drawing Muhammed and Same-Sex PDA

Zack is drawing Muhammed and Peterson’s not so sure about it! It wouldn’t be an interesting podcast if they always agreed. What is the value of “Everybody Draw Muhammed Day” and what are some of the real concerns? Speaking of public demonstrations, big gay kiss-ins might be fun on the International Day Against Homophobia (and just as offensive to some as drawing Muhammed), but what about just holding hands with your same-sex partner in your rural central Pennsylvania town? Peterson muses and worries about holding his partner’s hand as he walks around town. Also, what is the significance of names for transgender folks? Peterson tells us about an exciting new ceremony to celebrate trans identities. All this and more on Episode 7 of Queer and Queerer!
