StraightioLab
StraightioLab is an intellectual podcast where smart comedians George Civeris and Sam Taggart unpack the rich, multi-colored tapestry of straight culture. In each episode, George and Sam are joined by a guest to hold a MIRROR to society and finally get to the BOTTOM of mysterious and perverse topics such as college fraternities, gender reveal parties, the military, themed restaurants, and the concept of "the holidays." Scared? Good.

Today we have the second-ever installment of the StraightioLab Book Club with esteemed author Jo Firestone to discuss her new novel: Sex on Murder Island (not to be confused with the prequel Murder on Sex Island). Jo is nine months pregnant, but that won't stop us from having a discourse so deep about her writing that it makes Seth Meyers look like a fraud.
