Cultural Threeway

The Bitches take a break from the final stages of Christmas planning to discuss whether or not it’s too early to get into the festive spirit… I know, I know, but we never said living with us was going to be easy. Daniel is trying to finish this work year with dignity and grace but if his colleagues continue to test him he’s going to end up getting visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve. Max does...

The Bitches are getting into the ho-ho-holiday spirit, it’s more about spreading joy than spreading legs, but just how do go about addressing those envelopes without causing an international incident. Daniel arms himself with a bag of oranges to defend himself against office flu and he’s prepared to go full Apple Martin to prevent himself getting sick before his Paris debut. Max has sent the paren...

The Bitches are back and SO ARE MAX’S PARENTS, ready to give their very British opinion on all this USA, including Turkey Day and this disturbing trend of not drinking… kill the witches indeed. Daniel celebrates his own personal holiday, Lady Bird Ascension Day. What is it about great women defying gravity? It’s as if men don’t have the balls, or head, all of a sudden? Max has been cooking up such...

The Bitches are deep into the journey to the Emerald City of Mental Health, but when the Yellow Brick Road requires 90 minutes of meditation, you can bet we have opinions. We need practical self care for the working Munchkin. So let’s click your heels three times and skip to the end. Daniel is trying his best to be the best witch possible but when someone tells him he should consider cutting out c...

The Bitches are trying their best to remove the “I told you so” look off their (two) faces, but alas next year looks to be another dumpster fire. In a bid for positivity/ sanity/ sobriety/ productivity they ask the question, “was this a good week or a bad week?” Clutch your pearls, the answers may shock. Daniel has escaped into all things green, and its not just his new vegan diet, as the Wicked p...

The Bitches are here, they're queer, and no matter how this country votes, we aren’t going anywhere. Want to know how we really, really, really, truly feel? Listen to the first five minutes. Daniel decides to leave his weighted blanket and take to nature to clear his head … hard liquor counts as nature doesn’t it? It has to come from somewhere. Max goes full British and chooses to focus on this we...

The Bitches are learning a valuable lesson about reading social cues and discover that moment when you transition into creep. A little concerning for us when you consider this is our 91st episode. Daniel has never wanted blood so much in his life as he spends the week in a mandatory training (no, not a drag queen). With his heart now two sizes too small, will he find the spirit of Mariah before th...

It’s a Bitches have a brand new episode for you but we want to make sure it’s ok with you first, do we have your consent, have you had your morning coffee? We do? Oh good because things are about to get kinky. Daniel is sitting resplendent in a new Era’s tour outfit, he looks amazing and doesn’t want your opinion, he REPUTATION can handle it. Max may have finally reached race weekend but his healt...

It’s a Bitches With Beards homecoming! It’s been a month since these two have been together and it literally feels like the world has fallen apart without them. How ever did you cope gentle listeners? Exactly how many celebrities exactly have died in the last 28 days? Daniel returns from London and Paris mentally more relaxed and feeling in a much better place. It’s a pity that place is bed to sor...

The Bitches are here with the last of our vacation episodes. We are joined by the wonderful Dustin from the Rewatch Recap podcast who is here to help us channel surf through the Queer Television. Daniel finds that all roads come back to Will and Grace. If only he ends up with Will’s career success and not his dating life. Max discusses the fine balance between queer representation on television th...

The Bitches are here with the second of our vacation episodes. We are joined by the wonderful Mama D from the Petals of Support podcast, who helps us produce our warmest hug of an episode EVER. Daniel has to hold back from turning this into a full on session about his mother. Max continues his exploration of American culture in a bid to discover why this country calls itself UNITED. Mama D discuss...

The Bitches are here with the first of our vacation episodes. We are joined by our very not gay but very funny best friend Frank, from the Silver Screeners podcast who is here to take us on a journey through Queer Cinema. Daniel reveals how he was introduced to the cinema through his own personal Golden Girl. Max discusses how drag brought queer culture into the public eye and onto cinema screens…...

The Bitches are getting themselves vacation ready, sorry, HOLIDAY ready. They are heading to England after all and have to get the language right. Work may be putting up a fight and they may be wondering why they’re even bothering, but ignore that, we have some VERY exciting news (something has to be). Daniel starts Spooky Season early with the terrifying realization that he’s become his mother; i...

The Bitches have truly given up fighting the fight; Politics is the culture of the week. Though honestly, what is there to discuss? Or better yet, not to discuss. Ok, maybe whether or not a politics themed bar in DC is the dumpster fire we need. It's all fun and games until you give a twink a gavel. Daniel survives and thrives in a busy work week (thank you martinis). Though it didn’t leave him in...

The Bitches temporarily stepped away from the Virginia wineries and are back in the Diane Keaton Haberdashery and Podcast Studio; their little slice of burnt orange heaven. Who’s even thinking about wearing white after Labor Day when we have all these Autumnal shades to pick from? Daniel is torn between performing for his fans or appearing at the VMAs, or is he just trying to pick a nice pair of p...

The Bitches are bent over, lubed up and ready to take in some new energy. Summer makes a brief attempt at a last minute apology tour, but it’s just a little too late. You’ve had your chance, we need to move on. Can everyone else smell the spiced apple or are we having a stroke? Daniel’s dating life has become working out who’s a fake profile and who’s a real profile (with a fake personality). Max...

The Bitches are fatigued after a week of politics that has left them feeling betrayed and bewildered and that’s just over Taylor Swift not showing up. That hasn’t stopped her being in the culture though. Daniel is truly the modern man trying to have it all; juggling family drama, an over enthusiastic Grindr hookup, all while making sure he looks demure. Max takes a break from life’s stresses by wa...

The Bitches comes to you in a state of Olympic withdrawal, but there’s still plenty of culture so don’t even be thinking of Raw-Dogging this week (we’re looking at you straights and one weather man in particular). There’s no gold medal for being boring or even bronze for that matter. Daniel will not be doing a Tom Daley and exiting stage left as he has a fairly productive week at work. The secret...

The Bitches finally have an excuse to be as bitchy as they possibly can be as they emerge from a truly horrendous week. Clouds may have silver linings, but they also come with a lot of rain… especially from Florida. Daniel’s basement is flooded, literally! At least he’s not on the receiving end of some drag-wrath. Max and the Hubs say goodbye to a very special friend but there’s no time for Sad Oo...

The Bitches are here with a feast of culture worthy of Dionysus. But don’t worry, this is no Last Supper, anyone with an education knows that. Daniel has recovered from a week of being under the weather with so much energy he’s booked a trip to London and Paris, anything to get into Tom Daley’s knitwear. Max had been caring for a sick family, but feed a cold, starve a fever and the spirit of Ina h...

The Bitches are less bitchy this week as for the first time this Brat Summer. There’s a definite feeling of hope in the air. Is it too soon to get excited for Fall? Daniel, aka Kathleen Turner, becomes the ultimate Pillow Princess as he takes to his bed for a week. He says he’s sick; we call it perverted. How naughty is that? Max heads to Western New York for Rochester Pride and finds himself temp...

The Bitches are NOT DEAD, unlike celebrities which seemed to be dropping like flies at the moment. It’s a good thing that we have a new friend Muffy joining us on the third mic. Daniel regrets taking a sleep aid before the episode ( but maybe not as much as the listeners) as he attempts to deliver one of the crazier news weeks. Is Tyra Banks really opening an ice cream shop in Washington DC or is...

The Bitches are here and do not fear, we’re here to explain the very things you can’t be bothered to Google. This week’s edition? The Preacher’s Daughter gone bad. Where’s Joanna Lumley when you need her. Oh year, classing it up at Wimbledon! Daniel gives us a PSA on red flags during dating, all jokes aside, listen to your elders because this bitch could save your life. Max is Shelly Duvall! Only...

THE BITCHES ARE BACK! The Queens of DC Culture have returned from a lovely couple of days in the country where they Rose’d all Independence Day (thanks Debs!). Daniel is forced to finally turn on his oven after a couple of bad dating experiences ala Sylvia Plath. SPOILER ALERT! One Little Piggy is most definitely not getting roast beef. Max is tentatively optimistic about Britain’s new government,...

The Bitches have suddenly realized they're in the midst of a Brat Summer. The pair pauses only to Google what is a Brat Summer, as they are Elder Millennials afterall. The middle age transitional phase continues. Daniel is still too hot to turn on his oven and gets called out by Instagram when they send him an advert for Wedgwood China. He’d be angry, but he really liked the pattern. The Coastal G...
