Beneath the Briefs is back! It's season 4 with new cohosts Javier Enriquez and Cheyenne Roberts. Learn more about them in the interview on our website: Meet the New Cohosts for Beneath the Briefs (phntx.org)

Episode 1 of season 4 focuses on a student-led protest at the University of Texas at Austin in 2016, known as "Cocks Not Glocks." Our hosts discuss the event’s origins, including a law allowing concealed carry on campus and the protest led by Jessica Jin.

Jin's idea was sparked by frustrations over a lack of action on gun violence, resulting in the humorous yet impactful protest where students attached dildos to their backpacks to highlight the absurdity of allowing guns in classrooms while items deemed "obscene" were restricted. Their conversation dives into Texas's obscure laws surrounding sex toys, personal anecdotes, and a broader critique of the legislation.

The episode balances humor with serious political commentary, highlighting the effectiveness of using satire to draw attention to social and political issues. If you like your activism with a side of funny, check us out.
