The Het: museum of Straight Culture

The Het: museum of Straight Culture

Welcome to the museum of Straight Culture. Heterosexuality is famously at risk of extinction. So to make sure the greatest achievements of the Straights are not lost forever, comedian Joe Sutherland has opened The Hetropolitan Museum of Art and Culture, aka The Het. Each episode, museum curator Joe invites a brilliant LGBTQIA+ guest to nominate two pieces of straight culture that they want to preserve in the museum. Joe then decides which of artefact will be accepted. And of course, the winning item is honoured with its very own Het Gala reception. Expect deep dives on some seriously niche stuff with some of the funniest queer guests from the worlds of comedy, TV, and internet culture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
