Synopsis: After a Drag Queen tour of the gay animals at the zoo, Owen and Laine look deeper into the legacy of the book Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity, which has been their talisman throughout this journey. They begin with a conversation with the book’s illustrator and discover why he had to keep his illustrations of hedgehog cunnilingus a secret. Then, Owen and Laine speak with Queer animal scholar Stacy Alaimo, and Atmos Magazine editor-in-chief Willow Defebaugh to discuss the legacy and future of Queerness in Nature.
Guests: Gertrude Glossip – Drag Performer and Tour Guide ; John Megahan - science illustrator ; Stacy Alaimo - author of Eluding Capture: The Science, Culture, and Pleasure of ‘Queer’ Animals ; Willow Defebaugh editor-in-chief of Atmos.Earth

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
