There is a lot of conversation about safe spaces… What they mean, why they are important and how they are created. Today we further dive into this with someone who spends a lot of their livelihood doing just that.  Welcoming club kid and curator Rio Bayani to the pod. Co creator of Le Bunker, a Paris based events group that prioritises creating nights for Queer POC. This conversation is a further exploration of what it means to create such spaces. There’s also some poo chat, more “Love Lies Bleeding”, why English speaking people need to stop butchering the French pronunciation of words and why we are marrying testosterone.  Show resources:  Find Rio.  Instagram: @rioobayani  TikTok: @rioobayani  Events Page.  Instagram: @lebunkerparis Find Kath.

Between phone sex, the AFL and bi-curious lesbians. This episode has it all. Kath sits down with one of their closest friends Sandy to chat about sexuality and its fluidity. Why labels are important but they don’t define us and why they both found the more comfortable in their sexuality they were, the more curious about their possible desires they became.

Todays episode is a little more of a mellow pace as we reflect on Mardi Gras season 2024, with the tragic passing of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies at the hands of a cop one week out from the parade. What does this mean for our discussion surrounding Police presence at Pride? And what does it mean to truely create safe spaces for queer people?  Does pride belong to us anymore or has it truely lost its meaning as we reflect on its history. Kath also reads a few passages from the book “Simple Pleasures” by Clare Gogerty for a soothing moment of stillness in all the chaos.  Episode resources:  Find Nick: @yvngweed Find Rio:  @rioobayani Book: “Simple Pleasures” by Clare Gogerty  Find Kath, TikTok: @kathebbss Instagram: @kathebbs

Get your “love is love” tees washed because it's Mardi gras season baby!  Ok don’t get us twisted, we think Mardi Gra is SLAY, but sometimes it can be a little morally tricky for the queers as they navigate "Getting that bag" whilst having our experiences capitalised for financial gain. Usually for not a lot in return. Look, there is nothing wrong (in fact a lot right) with big corporations putting money behind community but what happens when it isn’t reflected all year round? What happens when the safes they are created aren’t so safe? Are we just getting got as queers? … Well, let’s talk about it!  On this episode Poppy and Kath sit down to chat about their opinions on rainbow capitalism, why men in comedy need to stop complaining and how inflation is ruining our getaways to beautiful Canberra.  Episode resources: Find Kath: @kathebbs Find Poppy: @ppusspuss
