We knew Faith needed to weigh in. Caution: we make pretend sex noises throughout this ep. Try to not get too turned on, thanks. Gaslighting means "manipulating someone i…

Listener Claire asks a great question about how to move in a more feminine way. We can't all be ballerinas or elegant gliding angles on ice like the truck drivers of Manitoba, but we can all take some yoga or barre, work on our posture, get video to track our progress, and attempt to emulate the Playboy bunny walk. But ultimately, it all comes down…

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." We misattributed this quote to Lee Atwater. It was in fact Lyndon B. Johnson. Don't feel bad for Atwater; he was no peach either. Here's audio of h…

Faith is a Star Trek fan, and this is Kath's first Star Trek episode ever. The New Generation's Season 5 Episode 17 "The Outcast" was a heavy-handed, clumsy, well-intentioned episode about gay things. It was 1992 so we're giving them a break. Why is the flight deck called "the bridge"? There's only one way to find out. Be sure and check out Kath's …

Kath has questions for Faith about John Cameron Mitchell's discomfiting masterpiece Hedwig and The Angry Inch. (Several unpleasant topics come up, so heed the trigger warning at the start.)
