Episode 026: Bond of Dreams, Bonds of Love

7/26/2023
On the twenty sixth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing “Bond of Dreams, Bonds of Love”, a manga about a high schooler finally admitting his love for his neighbour who is also a shinto priest and his determination to win him over. It’s been a while since we reviewed a manga, so I thought it would be good to pick one I read several years ago to see how good it actually was.

023: Yuri! On Ice

7/17/2023
On the twenty third episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing “Yuri! On Ice”, an anime focused on Yuri who is training to compete in the next figure skating grand prix with the help of the current Russian champion! Since we are into December, I thought it would be good to get something more winter themed reviewed, and figure skating on the ice seems to be pretty wintery to me!

022: Felix Ever After

7/17/2023
On the twenty second episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing “Felix Ever After” by Kacen Callender, a book in which teenager Felix is receiving transphobic messages, goes seeking revenge, and ends up in a quasi-love triangle. As November is host to Trans Awareness Week, Trans Day of Remembrance, and Trans Parent Day, it is only appropriate that we spend each episode this month boosting more representative of our trans siblings.

021: Kaboom!

7/10/2023
On the twenty first episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing “Kaboom!”, a 2010 film focusing on a group of college students during their sexual exploits and investigation into a mysterious cult. We haven’t had nearly enough college hijinx yet, and so we clearly need this in our lives to bring balance back to our reviews!

Episode 025: Boys on Film Presents, Campfire

6/23/2023
On the twenty fifth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing “Boys on Film Presents, Campfire”, a collection of four short films by Bavo Defurne from 1995 to 2000, all reflecting certain aspects of youth and sexuality. We are reviewing this collection this week as it is the new year, I wanted to try another new medium to review, and we haven't looked at a collection of short films yet, so here we go!

Episode 020: The Witch Boy

3/24/2023
On the twentieth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing “The Witch Boy”, a comic by Molly Knox Ostertag, where a boy is pushing back against the societal roles imposed when wishing to learn how to be a witch like the rest of the girls in his family. I felt this would be another good fit for November as it uses a clever way of highlighting the societal gender roles members of the queer community have to push against with a supernatural focus.

Episode 019: All That's Left in the World

3/20/2023
On the nineteenth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing “All That’s Left in the World” by Erik J. Brown, a book with a post apocalyptic setting where two boys run into each other and start to develop feelings for each other. I decided on this book for the episode since it feels like the world is already in that post-apocalypse setting when I read the news some days, and so having some queerness at the end of the world felt quite appropriate for October.

Episode 018: These Witches Don't Burn

11/18/2022
On the eighteenth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing “These witches don’t burn'' by Isabel Sterling, a book where a teenage witch teams up with her ex-girlfriend while trying to prove there is a dangerous blood witch in town. October is all about spooky things such as ghouls, ghosts, and witches! So how could we not pick some bisexual and lesbian witches as our focus for some of this month.

Episode 017: Heartstopper

11/13/2022
On the seventeenth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing " Heartstopper" by Alice Oseman, a comic about two teenagers meeting at a British grammar school, quickly becoming friends and falling in love. I wanted us to look at something dealing with figuring out “Am I bi?” and showing it in a very healthy way since September was all about bisexual awareness. And this podcast will never stand for bi-erasure!

Episode 016: Boyfriend Dungeon

9/17/2022
On the sixteenth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing " Boyfriend Dungeon", a single player game created by Kitfox Games that blends dating sim and dungeon crawler elements. I recently came across the title on my GamePass and absolutely fell in love with it, and since we haven’t reviewed a videogame on the show yet, this felt like the best time to do it!

Episode 015: Dick Fight Island

9/12/2022
On the fifteenth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing "Dick Fight Island", a manga by Reibun Ike, set on a fictional archipelago island where several clans send a champion to fight for the title of king every four years in a very unique tournament. This is maybe the funniest of titles I have reviewed yet due to its premise, and I thought since the world feels a little intense at times it would be nice to have something silly to review.

Episode 014: Rift

8/9/2022
On the fourteenth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing "Rift", a 2017 Icelandic horror film about two men in a secluded cabin, haunted by their dead relationship. I believe this will be the first time we have something horror related on the podcast, so I am extra lucky getting to review my two favourite things: queer media and the horror genre!

Episode 013: I Wish You All The Best

7/29/2022
On the thirteenth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing "I Wish You All The Best" by Mason Deaver, a young adult book focused on Ben who has recently been kicked out by his parents for coming out as non-binary and has to process this while also adjusting to his new surroundings. Similar to last episode, I am still celebrating all the joy of Non-binary in July and decided it would be good to review the first book I read that had a focus on a non-binary character.

On the twelvth episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing "Dorian Electra", a queer and genderfluid singer, songwriter, and performance artist from Houston, Texas.

6/29/2022
On the eleventh episode of the podcast, Babeushka is reviewing "Everybody’s talking about Jamie", the stage musical focusing on sixteen year old Jamie as he steps into the spotlight and follows his dreams to be a drag queen. I decided to review this musical as I got the chance to see it when it was in Edinburgh last month and international drag queen day happens on the 16th July, so I may be a bit premature, but I just couldn't wait any longer!

This episode is done in honour of International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (17th May 2022) as it is a good look at examples of transphobia and homophobia, not just from external sources but also from those within our own household.
