QUEERNECKS

Thanks to Clover Lynn for lending us this sweet Intro and Outro music! Check her out on Spotify or on the socials as @Hillbillygothicc We're excited and slightly deranged about what Agatha All Along is doing to us weekly. I keep saying it gives me a reason to live every week, and that’s not a joke. We riff on the tiny, delicious things—Agatha's leather-slash-lesbianic LARP aesthetic, Teen's myster...

Agatha wakes up from her curse and the character finally comes alive — that moment is the main thing that made us fall for this show. Beck finally gets it, and I am full-on geeking out about the craft: Katherine Hahn’s performance, the Joe Locke chemistry, and the way the episode leans into practical effects and old-school TV tricks. The Salem Seven are terrifying because they’re real dancers doin...

We realized right away why the first two episodes of Agatha All Along were dumped together: the first episode is basically useless on its own — wildly confusing until episode two starts filling in the why and the who. Beck was very confused (I was, too), but on a second rewatch the breadcrumbs make sense: Agatha is still under Wanda’s spell, Rio (Aubrey Plaza) is the one person the spell can’t tou...

Inflatable Vaginas, Horgons, and the Women’s Pro Baseball Opener Hosts Beck and Dash review the opening of the Women’s Professional Baseball League, praising the games and milestones (first home run, Mo’Ne Davis as first batter). What happened with that national anthem performance and the choice of mayor for the league’s first ceremonial pitch? They talk about how girls’ limited baseball developme...

Remembering Emily Cobb Thomas + The Night I Quit Mushrooms | Queernecks Beck and Dash open with a theory that Trixie Mattel is diddlin a country dumplin, then share updates and stories ranging from dog grooming costs and haircuts to an oddly bonding conversation about health “battle scars.” The episode’s “Noun of Appalachian Interest” honors Emily Cobb Thomas, a close friend of Beck’s and an anti-...

Beck shows off stunning flower photos shot on a budget phone, Dash gets the "dramatics" of nature photography, and we get deep into why certain songs—from Big Butter Jesus to Keith Whitley—become emotionally tied to our childhoods in ways that have nothing to do with actually liking the music. Plus: Jennifer Garner's secret Appalachian connection, religion's weird rules against instruments, and ou...

Beck and Dash discuss how World Cup banter on TikTok sparked the meme phrase “America’s favorite sport is competition,” leading into a broader conversation about memes, early internet culture (4chan, Rickrolling, Rotten.com, eBaum’s World), and how Web 2.0 interactivity evolved into today’s app-driven, algorithmic internet, with Web 3.0 framed as decentralization via blockchain. They highlight Fac...

Beck and Dash explore why humor matters, what makes a comedian memorable, and how queerness and marginalization shape comedy. Dash argues that humor is inherently queer in the queer-theory sense: making fun of something means breaking it down, ruining it a little, and turning it into a ridiculous version of itself. Both hosts agree that comedians from marginalized backgrounds tend to be more creat...

Weather, Yellowjackets, and Appalachian History: Tree Houses and the Underground Railroad Hosts Beck and Dash chat about shifting weather and anxiety around a severe El Niño forecast, then Beck describes a brief health scare with their older dog Pita.

In this 50th episode of Queernecks, queer rural Appalachian LGBTQ hosts Beck and Dash chat about pets, junk food, and digestive issues, then reflect on smoking—how early they started, how it was normalized, and how quitting saved Christmas.

Hosts Beck and Dash chat through tech frustrations and changing internet/IT, early home computing memories (AOL dial-up costs, Commodore 64, Carmen Sandiego, Number Munch, Oregon Trail, typing skills), and odd public moments (a classmate farting in a lab, an ROTC student’s loud burp, quirky neighbor small talk, a neighbor’s unsolicited diet comment). They share affirming messages from former stude...
