Welcome to The Het, the only museum of Straight Culture — curated by comedian Joe Sutherland (Roast Battle, Hypothetical). 

In this episode, Joe is joined by regular co-host of The Guilty Feminist and Crossfit master, Jessica Fostekew.


This week we consider two archetypal artefacts from the endangered world of heterosexuality:


  • Exhibit A: The humble cheese toastie (NOT a grilled cheese)
  • Exhibit B: Her own human son


But due to government cuts to the arts and heritage sector, only one can be saved. Which will make it into the esteemed collection of The Hetropolitan Museum of Art and Culture?


Plus: smelly school trips, the time before plastic, and the joy of getting less pretentious as we get older.
