Explore every episode of the podcast INTERCUNTINENTAL THERAPY WITH LEANNE MARK

Writer and curator Edwin Nasr joins friend and host Leanne for their usual tangential chat—not so dissimilar from weekends past, though with less chain-smoking and peripheral fornication. This time, Nasr takes a blowtorch to the sacred cows of sexuality and queerness while dragging everything from the whiplash of living in Germany as a foreigner, and the clichéd complacency of wanting to date but being stuck at a carry. It’s a masterclass in intellectual arson: burning down tired norms with a smirk and a devastatingly sharp critique. Not that deep, but cutting yet still sweet enough to leave you wanting more. Pairs well with: shot of espresso in the afternoon when you gotta wake it TF and muster the energy to use the dregs of your tired social battery. Because yes actually sometimes your friends can charge you up.
