Going to a Drag Show in a Failing State
Sep 1601:09:56Tap to summarizeWE ARE BACK FROM THE DEAD! Rising like the bloody corpse of your favorite vocalist after they’ve been stabbed and stabbed and stabbed by a clown, Honey This Podcast makes its triumphant return! As we discuss at the outset, this episode is a bit cobbled together with some reflections on the tour from mid-August as well as some thoughts on fascism from before the tour even launched (terrible audio included!) but we've got some smart insights and wild predictions that did not come true that we think you'll quite enjoy.Topics include:The Boston Incident, super lame cancer like from the My Chemical Romance song, Ticketmaster in our fucking crosshairs, CLOWNS, My Chemical Cryptography, us not knowing Charlie Saxton’s name yet (sorry Charlie), tricking 25,000 people into watching performance art, fascism as an alluring aesthetic, Dr. Strangelove and good satire, ballgown wishful thinking, LIZA MINELLI, military drag, new music wishful thinking, how everything is the Cold War, democratizing the barricade experience, and our ardent demands for a limp clown.

Apr 13, 202301:37:48Tap to summarizeWelcome to the first day of Gender Studies 101! In this episode your esteemed professors take you through foundational gender theory texts: we’re talking about Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, Leslie Fienberg, and Michel Foucault. We’re also wading through the discourse about how we talk about Gerard’s gender, and what does it actually mean to be trans anyway? We also respond to some of our Tumblr asks and share some completely uncontroversial opinions about the barricade brigade. Topics include: the gender wars, wrangling the discourse, a history of gender expression, white supremacy, the inherent truth of gender, gender as a doing, “reality”, terms and conditions, what is a “woman” and what is a “trans person”, drag and subversiveness, bad takes from cis people and why they are wrong, X gender markers, identity politics and coalitions, cyborgs, hyperpop and posthumanism, Geoff Rickly and postmodernism, the normative politics of internet spaces, and meaningful community at live shows.
