MMM S2 Episode 5 - Bisexuality w Kethlyn 15.11.2022 1:04:34
Is everyone bisexual? We discuss the often overlooked letter in LGBTQIA+ with Kethlyn, who proudly identifies as one in times when that's not so much the label of choice. She shares her experience coming out as a bisexual woman as well as how she's navigated the rocky seas of dating both men and women. Follow us on Instagram at @maxwellmuffing and Tiktok !
MMM S2 Episode 4 - Mental health w Antoinette from safespaceapac 28.10.2022 54:48
Talk about mental wellness and therapy is all the rage these days but how do you get around to getting a therapist for yourself? We chat with Antoinette, co-founder and CEO of SafeSpace (and also lesbian), to find out more about affordable mental healthcare. We also get to the point about queer-friendly therapy and throw in some "asking for a friend" questions. Queer fam, we got you! L...
MMM S2 Episode 3 - Ink w queer tattoo artist manandhand 16.10.2022 57:11
A more lighthearted episode for the season — we chat with Sarahann, @manandhand on IG from Tooth & Nail Studio, to learn more about tattoos!

MMM S2 Episode 2 - Lesbian Families w twomomssg 15.09.2022 1:00:35
How does family planning look like for same sex couples in Singapore? We find out as we speak to Brenda, one half of @twomomssg on Instagram. (No, having children is not on the horizon for either of us.) A big thank you to Brenda who was so open with us about the baby-making process and the struggles they've had to overcome for their first daughter. Follow them on Instagram to find out more! ...
MMM S2 Episode 1 - Astrology w Stranger Moon 21.08.2022 1:04:01
Back for season 2, we change up the format a little by inviting guests on each episode. For the first episode this season, we find out more about astrology with the help of astrologer and tarot card reader, Amanda (@strangermoon.tarot on IG).

MMM *BONUS* Episode - We go to Pink Dot 2022! 01.07.2022 54:19
Our bonus episode and a great end to the first run of Maxwell Muff Meeting! We haul our asses down to Hong Lim Park for the first in-person Pink Dot 2022 after three years! It's sweaty, noisy and our first time doing a roving live recording (yes, we walked around the park like conjoined twins) but gives you a pretty good idea of how happy everyone was to be out and proud. Special thanks to o...
MMM S1 Episode 10 - Sex talk (Season finale!) 11.06.2022 1:01:04
It's the episode you've all been waiting for --- SEX. We talk about the myth of scissoring, explore the world of sex toys and suppositories?? But the sexiest thing we get to chat about is good 'ol communication, a sure way for better sex. **Watch out for us at Pink Dot on 18 June at Hong Lim Park as we do a season special live recording on location! (Hint: we'll be wearing a pi...
MMM S1 Episode 9 - Lesbians in Pop Culture 14.05.2022 50:43
Why do all fictional lesbian characters never get happy endings? We reminisce about the lesbian representation in media (very meagre quantity given Singapore's strict anti-gay censorship). And well, it turns out that we haven't really consumed enough lesbian content as we should but can you blame us? Follow us on Instagram at @maxwellmuffing and Tiktok !
MMM S1 Episode 8 - Queer rights in Singapore 01.05.2022 55:41
We take a closer look at what life is for lesbians in Singapore when it comes to the law and the rest of our allegedly conservative society. It's a brief look at Penal Code 377A, the new regulations allowing egg freezing for the first time in the country's history, praying the gay away and of course, Pink Dot. Some resources mentioned in the episode: - https://pinkdot.sg/ - https://oog...
MMM S1 Episode 7 - Relationships Part 2 15.04.2022 1:24:35
In the second part of the Relationships episode, we start off with long distance relationships (Hutch being the expert here) and dive into cheating and break ups. It's emotionally taxing and we both wish we had some drinks to knock back but well, life is tough ain't it? This is another episode we recommend listening to while cuddled up and cosy (there might be some topics that could brin...
MMM S1 Episode 6 - Relationships Part 1 19.03.2022 1:27:43
Hutch is down with Covid and we're recording at night! Change into your jammies, get comfortable with a warm cup of milk (or a nightcap) as we dive into the 101s of a relationship. One of our longest episodes so far, we've only just scratched the surface of the beautifully complex relationship between two (or more) women in love. But, what even is love? Follow us on Instagram at @maxwell...
MMM S1 Episode 5 - Friendships are complicated 07.03.2022 55:22
Fresh off our Dating episode, we break down how friendships form from potential love interests and along the way, discover that we both have very different approaches. We also find out what are 'lesbros' and why some friends are considered 'bros' while others are 'sis', and Jess proves that enemies can sometimes turn into good friends. Follow us on Instagram at @maxw...
MMM S1 Episode 4 - Dating 14.02.2022 57:42
It's Valentine's Day, the day of lurve and we're talking about dating. More importantly, what makes a date a date? We share our best and worst dates, and yes, dating is equally confusing when you're seeing someone of the same sex. Why do we even try? Follow us on Instagram at @maxwellmuffing and Tiktok !
MMM S1 Episode 3 - Sex Ed 03.02.2022 56:30
We're up early for our third episode on education! You'll hear lots of ambient noise (e.g. Yawen eating breakfast, the morning bird aka Asian Koel, and Freddie, Hutch's frenchie, chewing on his toy) so bear with us. But this round, we get into what school was like for us and how our own sexual awakening came about (yes, there's the obligatory L Word credit). Follow us on Insta...
MMM S1 Episode 2 - Party Favours 16.01.2022 53:43
Things get a little chaotic in this episode as we recall one of the highlights of being lesbian - the girls-only parties! We explain the name of our podcast (why Maxwell?) and get drunk on nostalgia in a haze of inebriated mistakes, fights, and general good times at PLay, Mad Monks and White Parties. We also revisit lesbian labels (a fan's request) of the early 2000s, and that unofficial term...
MMM S1 Episode 1 - Coming Out 02.01.2022 46:10
Welcome to our inaugural Maxwell Muff Meeting! We're two lesbians in our thirties from Singapore, who've decided to bite the bullet and put on record the outrageous things (and sometimes vulnerable moments). In our first episode, get to know us a little better as we share our coming out story, our shared fear of the younger generation (hahaha), and our dismal love lives. Follow us on I...
