Episode 0: Teaser

May 16, 2016

 

Teaser episode of Looking/Feeling/Queering, a podcast that dives into what it feels like to "look" (or not look) queer. We'll cover everything from clothes to hair dye to radical patches. In this teaser, I ask people if they think they look queer. Check back soon to listen to the long-form individual interviews.

​

Episode 2: Scott

June 6, 2016

 

Scott and Leah chat about masculinity and makeup–when is makeup on men coded as queer and when is it not? Scott grapples with feeling empowered by heels and makeup as a queer AMAB person who also recognizes that a lot of people get criticized for not participating in beauty standards. He talks about his endless search for the perfect matte black lip, and spoiler alert, I’ve seen the pictures and it’s damn hot.
