    I'm one of the ten people that listens to this podcast and I hope they never stop making it. I also enjoy Informed Dissent but Jamie makes that one harder to listen to 😮‍💨

  • Meh

    Nina has become a super annoying downer, constantly lamenting the career she thinks she would have had if it hadn’t been for that pesky trans culture war. Every episode she harps on the same old griefs. Cori is mostly still tolerable. They reached a peak with the Brianna Wu ep and then cratered.

  • Great

    Listening to Brianna Wu episodes I laughed out loud. Her histrionic opinion about JK Rowling was proved unsupportable by clearly laid out facts - she admits she did no research but parroted other people’s conclusions and that’s all that matters. Love her diagnosis of Nina as broken as the only reason for Nina holding her own views.

    Love you Nina!!! You have some real lady balls. Love this show.

  • Huge problem

    The latest episode where newly religious convert Cohn cluelessly tries to make pronouncements about who can be considered Jewish or not demonstrates clearly that he still has the hardline thinking that caused him to make a previous transition he now thinks was wrong - how he can’t see this is beyond exasperating and might make me drop this show. He needs a shrink or medication or whatever would help him grow up. He is his own worst enemy.

Episode 186: What's Happening In Iran? With Zartosht Soltani
Q: What do you hope to happen with the situation in Iran?
There is a hope for U.S. involvement to assist with regime change since people in Iran are unarmed and seeking help.
Episode 183: Podcasting from Purgatory
Q: What's it like for you, Cori Cohn, being depressed? What's that inner world like?
Cori describes her inner world as a basement room, cool and damp, with cinder block walls, where she waits for time to pass.
Episode 164: Nina's Brain Breaks Itself
Q: What are the signals that you are interpreting as the Prozac starting to kick in?
Some of it is, like, the experience of being that depressed is familiar. I feel OK right now, and it's been a long time since I've felt that way.
Episode 164: Nina's Brain Breaks Itself
Q: How do you know the difference between, wow, things in my life are really horrible right now, and I'm feeling depressed about it, even though I'm taking an antidepressant versus, oh, this particular drug isn't really doing the trick?
After many years of living, I know the difference between grief and depression. When I’m in this state, everything hurts. It's like just raw nerves.
The Straight-Inclusive Queer Majority with Rio Veradonir
Q: Why did you choose the title Queer Majority for your project?
It reflects a broad sense of inclusivity, pushing back against the toxic us versus them mentality, while also recognizing that bi people are a majority within the LGBT community.
