    Deeper into the trash. This podcast used to have such great commentary and episodes. Now it’s 50% ads, terribly edited, and the host can’t seem to do anything but relate every topic back to her plastic surgery, or the Texas to LA pipeline. So much room for a new lesbian podcast as this one continues to get worse each week. Sell out!

  • Louder

    Great podcast! I love the various topics with real people and their lived experiences. The thing that bugs me is that Mal’s speaking volume is too low. She whispers some responses and then will speak at a normal volume. Consistency would be cool.

  • Good direction, host needs major work

    I’m really happy to see the podcast beginning to bring in some more interesting guests (beyond just LA “cool gays” and friends of friends without much to say.) That said, I do think the host very clearly doesn’t have the journalistic gravitas to be conducting these interviews quite yet. If this is the career path she’s chosen, I do hope she takes the time to study and develop her interviewing skills. I’d like to hear more than just “wow” “giggle giggle giggle” or “toooootally of course!” in re... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who Taught Women to Hate Their Bodies w/ Bradi Masci
Q: What role did coming out play in your relationship to your body?
Coming out catalyzed physical and emotional changes, including weight loss, clearer skin, and a renewed sense of bodily autonomy, which Masci ties to broader shifts in self-acceptance and artistic direction.
Who Taught Women to Hate Their Bodies w/ Bradi Masci
Q: How did you come to feminism as a lens for your art?
After early experiences with misogyny and realizing the power of representation, Masci began photographing queer bodies to challenge mainstream beauty standards and to create a space where bodies can exist without being up for interpretation or judgment.
Who Taught Women to Hate Their Bodies w/ Bradi Masci
Q: What did you learn in the suburbs about women and our bodies?
She discusses beauty standards, compulsory heterosexuality, and the pressure to be agreeable, which contributed to a disconnection from her own body and helped drive her toward exploring feminist theory and queer identity.
Who Taught Women to Hate Their Bodies w/ Bradi Masci
Q: Tell me about your upbringing.
Masci describes growing up in a conservative environment with a vivid inner world, early exposure to arts, and the impact of the male gaze; she explains how these factors seeded both her artistic path and the friction that later pushed her toward feminist perspectives in her work.
Being a Queer Female Founder w/ Natalie White
Q: How did you fund the early stages of the company?
She details bootstrapping, the high costs of producing custom molds, a lean team, and trying 200 accelerators with few takers before landing strategic retail partners and investor support.
