This is episode is one gigantic sigh of relief after four years of lawn and order.  Be weird & stay queer! xox - ny

We've got some wild, queer political scandals to help get us through this tense, anxiety-ridden election period. We'd like to thank "the mothaland" for the Thorpe Affair, and ask the Queen to please take us back if the emperor loses his clothes. *artwork: Suicide at Dawn by Victor Brauner Be weird & stay queer!  xox - ny

Qweirdos, we finally have the biggest stars in the qweird multiverse....our moms, Jamie & Sue, join us for some spooky stories in what is now our favorite episode forever!!! Be weird & stay queer, xox - NY

In our annual queering to MFM we bring you the graphic and truly horrifying murders of the whiny bitch, Dennis Nilsen. We also dream of Cricklewoodshire frogs, sing the serial killer's to-do list song, & dare you to say intercrural five times fast. Be weird & stay queer & make America Great Britain again! xox - NY

Greetings Qweirdos! This week we are celebrating spooky season by exploring our dark side.  We are talking about the Dark One Himself, Satan. Satanism may not be what you think. Like most spiritualities, it is vast and diverse in it's tenets and culture, if you don't believe us, just play a rock album backwards! So please join us as we discuss a bit more of the satanic panic from the past, as well...

We're talkin' witch hunts, qweirdos! From the Loudun "possession" of the Ursuline nuns to the first pole dance by the ever chaste, possessed saint to Tituba and a 4-year old "witch," we've got some wild stories to kick off October. Be weird & stay queer! xox - NY

You've probably already guessed that we don't like the current resident of the White House, but we wanted to take this opportunity to really drag him. He's a wanna-be dictator, and a truly abhorrent human, so remember that when you cast your ballot! We talk about some pretty graphic, and horrifying sexual assault accusations, so listener beware.  Be weird & stay queer! xox - NY

Join #nicoleisperfect & yvie as we dig into Joe & Kamala's records on issues that affect queer lives. This is the most important presidential election of our lives, qweirdos, so get your wigs on and boxers up to ensure the current resident is evicted this November!

This week we're talking about the tired ol' theatrical trope of "burying the gays." We dig in a little to the history, and we talk about whether or not we want a penis. We wax poetic about the harm in this type of representation, tell Hollywood to #hitusup for some advice, and decide there needs to be more bi male stories. Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe! Be weird & stay queer, xo...

Join us for our one year anniversary extravaganza as we blather on about what we've learned, how we've squirmed, and for what we yearn for in our first ever PodYear Resolution.  All our love and gratitude to all our Qweirdos! Be queer & stay weird! xox - NY

Cancel culture is a thing. When is it valid? When is it over-the-top? When is it just straight up dangerous? We get really into it, and call ourselves out in the process. We are sooooo cancelled now. Be queer & stay weird! xox- NY

In the second part down our path to ecstatic enlightenment, we continue to tease out some of the idiosyncrasies of faith, the hypocrisies of the faithful, and our own ambivalence around organized religion with the cool cleric, the preacher with the reacher, the raunchy reverend, our very own personal RINO (reverend in name only) and sage mage, Kali Fox.   Be queer & stay weird! xox- NY

This week we get a little divine intervention from our God-loving, pastor-pal Kali as we try to unravel what makes religion different from a cult. Or maybe it’s all a cult, and we’re all doomed. Or maybe nothing is real and life is just a fantastic dream. Either way, it’s a fun conversation and a true spiritual awakening. Be weird & stay queer! xox- NY

This one's such a trip down the rabbit hole that we don't know if it's a rabbit hole anymore. We wander through communes then down through cults, then we gracefully glide around this crazy satanic panic slip-n-slide before being jettisoned headlong into trumpism. Yikes!  Be weird & stay queer & join our qult! xox - NY

This episode is everything you need for complete immersion into the qult of qwierd. Our colors are green & red (but that's still being negotiated), our theme song is Double Dare Ya', and our kool-aid sparkles rainbows. Now drink it. Be weird & stay queer! xox- NY

Whether you love or hate Joe Exotic, if you've seen Tiger King it's im-paw-ssible not to have an opinion about him. We get into his husbands (there've been 5!), his exploitations, and his hair. We cut into Don Van Antle (lol), and generally have a roaring good conversation. But no matter how you wear your stripes, we can at least agree that the paramedic jacket was hilarious. Be weird & stay q...

  Hey all you cool cats and kittens! If you are among the 34 million people who tuned into Tiger King on Netflix, you're going to want to tune into this week's episode. We are breaking down Tiger King and exposing it for what it really is: misogynistic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, and completely compelling. This is part one of a two part series deconstructing the mess. And no judgement,...

Kick open the closet door and come on out! This week on Qweird we wrap up our Pride Month series with our own coming out stories. Join us as we talk all about the terrifying, funny, and often times beautiful experience, that is coming out of the closet. S&L: Restoration of Honor Act , NYC Queer Liberation , #BlackTransLivesMatter , Japanese souffle pancakes , Nikki Blonsky , Taylor Schilling ,...

The Stonewall R!ots are often considered the birth of the LGBTQ rights movement, but there was so much more that came before to ignite the sissies, the swishes, the drag queens and the stone butches. Join our merry little march down other people's memories, and see how the mob, WWII, and Alfred Kinsey helped bring us together.  S&L: 90-year old comes out , snake-oil salesman , trans healt...

Lots of folx have lots of feelings about Pride month, including us! Join us as we gab about some of our favorite, and more humbling Pride moments, as well as sift through some of the systemic problems our communities face. If you've never made a sculpture using only baby powder, sweat, and your thighs, what are you doing with your life? S&L:  Rosemary Ketchum , trans healthcare , GOPs reg...

Sandwiched right in here between the pandemic and protests is Pride. Sure most events have been cancelled or postponed, but some have gone virtual. We know, it seems a little gross to celebrate Pride right now, but remember Pride is about protest. We've got loads of events and ideas on how you can celebrate your LGBTQ+ identity in ways that support Black Lives Matter. We even mention a few dance p...

S&L:  RIP Aimee Stephens , LGBTQ frontline workers , Albania ,  Missing Couple Found Deceased , RuPaul cares , Justice for Scott Johnson ,  Sure there is much to love about love, but what is there to love about loss of love? Let me tell you, not much. But it isn't ALL bad. Breakups are tough, and heartbreak is almost always inevitable, but so is growth and change.. and maybe eve...

"They" say love is the universal language. Then somebody comes along and says there are five love languages. Then some otherbody comes along and adds another three. For a universal language, it sure is complicated. Join Nicole, who is perfect, and Yvie, who is most definitely not, as we find out our primary language of the universal language - even though we all know that it's cheese. S&L: @be...

Sometimes we do really dumb things for love like sacrifice ourselves like virgins to the volcano gods. Other times, we have the charisma of a serial killer and charm our partner into making the sacrifice.  But is it healthy? We have all the answers to this mind-bending question and more in this artsy-fartsy convo!   S&L: Daddy at the Vati , Charmaine McGuffey for Sheriff , How to cut...
