Bad Queers
This podcast is for people who feel like they came out of the closet and got placed in a box. It’s time to put the u-haul theory to bed, and connect over being Bad Queers. Join Kris and Shana, fellow Bad Queers, to discuss breaking stereotypes, owning your identity and their unpopular queer opinions. Bad Queers will leave you both offended and inspired by the news, stories and advice about the very fluid, very real LGBTQ+ experience.

This week, we had the pleasure of guesting on Hung Up Podcast with host Eric Cole.
We unpacked what it means to reclaim culture as Black queer folks — from how we show up in mainstream media to how we navigate the messiness of pop culture. The conversation covered everything from Tyler Perry discourse to online dating, bathhouses, and poppers. Yes, all of it. And we meant every word.
In this previously Patreon-only episode from December 2024, Kris checked in with Shana about her love life — what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and what she’s still figuring out.

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
