where to start/curated lists

We made this podcast to be newbie-friendly, queer-friendly, marginalized gender-friendly, and hopefully plain ol’ friendly. In that spirit, we’ve pulled together these curated lists on various topics we cover on our podcast. From how to start with comics to discussions on gender and sexuality, we’ve gathered our favorite recurring topics and the episodes where we get into them in one place for your listening ease.

How to start with comics

If you’re new here or just want to know how to diversify your pull list, these are the episodes to get your motor running.

Episodes featuring the X-Men

The X-Men are so queer the jokes practically write themselves.

Interviews with queer comics creators

We love talking to comics creators about their craft, their passion, and why being queer is the best.

Gender and sexuality in comics and pop culture

While pretty much all of our episodes touch on gender and sexuality in some manner or another, these are the episodes we recommend starting with:

2020 Pride Extravaganza

We celebrated Pride 2020 indoors given the pandemic. So, we pulled together an incredible slate of interviews and bonus episodes for our listeners.
