| Gold Stars, Lesbian Bars & Bette Porter with Dr. Kaila Story | 12 Oct 2026 | 01:05:20 | |
Dr. Kaila Story joins me for some lesbian discourse: dating women won’t magically erase patriarchy, our spaces shouldn’t have to be perfect to survive, and apparently everyone online has opinions about who gets to call herself a lesbian. We get into masc/femme expectations, the King Princess controversy, gold stars, and the difference between community and policing each other. Plus, a deeply necessary conversation about Bette Porter.

McKenzie Goodwin of Two Dykes and a Mic joins me to talk about writing and directing Meeting Marsha and making lesbian movies that let us laugh.

| A Tough Week To Be A Lesbian Online | 29 Sep 2026 | 00:50:02 | |
This week, I’m talking about the Cornell 7 allegations and what it feels like to watch the response as a woman with your own history. I also get into the backlash around a lesbian bar’s proposed mask optional night, King Princess, and the way we turn every disagreement into a public verdict. After a rough few weeks in my own comments, I’m asking how much of the internet we really need to take in. xo You can find Erin @iamerinbrown CHEEX OFFER LINK Details: no minimum term | |||
| Learning My Own Desire | 22 Sep 2026 | 00:36:28 | |
Women are taught extensively about how to be desired and almost nothing about discovering what or whom we desire. I’m talking about the years I spent trying to enjoy what was wanted from me, fighting to have my no respected and performing sex from a creative brief built around someone else’s pleasure. And the revolutionary question I finally learned to ask: What do I want to say yes to? Content note: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault, coercion and trauma. This episode is the audio edition of part three of Who Does She Think She Is, my wildly personal curriculum on heteronormativity, desire and the sapphic gaze. You can find the substack here.

| Who is Lesbian Porn For? With Ophelia Fae | 13 Sep 2026 | 00:53:43 | |
Lesbian porn star Ophelia Fay joins me to talk about what lesbian porn actually looks like when the women making it are queer, why authenticity and pleasure aren’t necessarily at odds with performance, and what it means to build a career without compromising her lesbian identity. We get into everything from scissoring and chemistry with co-stars to sex work, the male gaze, and why “lesbian porn is made for men” is a much more complicated claim than people make it out to be. Plus, Ophelia breaks down how to find and ethically support porn made by and for queer women... and why what we watch, pay for, and get loud about directly influences what gets made.

Plus: the Sapphic Ball, Original Sin, and why sometimes you have to stop asking whether everyone is happy with what you're building. You can find Sapphic Con here.

They get into building a masculinity that protects rather than possesses, what it means to belong to lesbian culture, and why identity gets a whole lot easier when we stop trying to turn it into a set of rules. Plus: gym books, carabiners, gender calculus, and the formation of the Butch Army. You can find Erin @iamerinbrown CHEEX OFFER LINK Details: no minimum term | |||

Erin talks about all the ways women learn to fake it for men—and how often we’re taught to mistake that performance for who we actually are.
