Missed this on podcasts 🥹
Loved food4thot. A podcast fran was apart of. Thought I’d give this podcast a try. Was an active listener when the podcast started but something shifted once Fran moved back to New York. I went from loving their takes on culture to finding myself annoyed by Frans narrow mindedness :(
Rose and Fran are deeply correct
Rose is hilarious and deserves a more culturally intelligent/aware cohost. Fran is kind of stupid.
ive always maintained the perfect dynamic is one host being smart and eloquent and one being loudly ignorant but fun and i think this podcast exemplifies this to the Nth degree!! love them <3

A sharp, witty pop culture show that applies a queer-trans lens to News, trends, and cultural objects, followed by deep dives into a given topic each episode. The hosts balance playful banter with thoughtful critique, often inviting guests to broaden the discussion. Notable strengths include their unapologetic humor, strong city/arts culture chops, and ability to make genre classics feel newly relevant through queer perspectives. This mix makes it appealing to listeners who want cultured discourse with personality and a tilt toward representation, gender, and sexuality in media.
