Outward: Slate’s LGBTQ podcast
Society & Culture
This month, Outward explores utopian fiction and dystopian reality TV. First, Bryan and Christina are joined by author Theodore McCombs to discuss Uranians, his new collection of speculative stories, which uses queer difference and divestment from the normal as an engine to drive five fascinating tales. Then they’re joined by producer June Thomas to discuss The Ultimatum: Queer Love, Netflix’s latest take on the dating show, which follows a cast of queer women and nonbinary folks as they try to decide who they will marry. Finally, the hosts add some new items to the gay agenda.
Items discussed in the show:
The CBC report on Patricia Ginn of the WindSisters
Uranians: Stories, by Theodore McCombs
More on Karl Heinrich Ulrich’s take on the Uranian
The Ultimatum: Queer Love on Netflix
June on the queerness of portrait galleries
Gay Agenda
June: The Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh
Bryan: That! Feels Good!, by Jessie Ware
Christina: “Radical Desire: Making On Our Backs Magazine,” from Cornell University Library
