Welcome back to EDUGAYTION - the queer culture podcast that’s gay (or gay adjacent) over-sharing into microphones. We’re trialling a new “studio” (Owen’s living room), Jake is podcasting in rotating sunglasses thanks to a (allegedly not) pink-eye drama, and Owen has declared Halloween = Gay Christmas (aka Bitches’ Christmas). 🎃

This week we dive into why Halloween is the queer high holy day! From 1920s drag balls to 1950s Philly “Bitches’ Christmas” - and why cross-dressing, camp, and chaos still matter more than yet another shirtless vampire.

We also get into:

•⁠ ⁠The mystery of AMY 🚪- she’s everywhere and nowhere (legend says she’s still on the loose)

•⁠ ⁠⁠Mango’s Halloween lewk and Jake’s “pimps & hoes” party report (fishnets, pearls, and massive bulges)

•⁠ ⁠⁠Gay costume rundown: niche > basic (Oompa-Loompa from Glasgow? Poppers bottle? Daphne & Velma = lesbian flag realness)

•⁠ ⁠⁠Jake’s costume crisis: hot vs. haha, cross-dressing and charity-shop solutions!

•⁠ ⁠⁠Herstory lesson: how Halloween let queer folks bend gender when the law said no

•⁠ ⁠⁠Strictly corner: Vicky Pattison’s “Fight For This Love,” Harry Styles fits, and our ill-advised Ariana high-note challenge 🎧 HEADPHONE USER WARNING !! SCREECHING CATS !! 

•⁠ ⁠⁠LADYBIRDS ARE SPREADING STD’S 🐞& we need to get them teeny tiny PrEP.

•⁠ ⁠⁠AI afterlife: Suzanne Somers’ widower makes an AI clone - is it cute or are we concerned? 

•⁠ ⁠⁠Halloween 2025 costume inspo! Including, but not limited to; Sticky Vicky, Mystic Meg, Louvre jewel thief, Toy Story alien, and more!

💅 NSFW? A touch. A smidge. A sprinkle.

Welcome back to EDUGAYTION – the queer culture podcast that’s *almost three homosexuals over-sharing into microphones. Kaz has entered her bangs era, and with that - is trying to make “Gay Autumn” a national holiday, and Jake & Owen have discovered that Locktober is not about home security systems.

This week, we unpack a vital seasonal issue: What actually is the gayest thing to do in autumn?

Kaz thinks it’s grandpa sweaters and horror mazes, Jake says it’s Pilates and pumpkin-spice emotional breakdowns, and Owen just wants to talk about chastity cages and Alexander Skarsgård being a dom biker daddy.

We also get into:

•⁠ Kaz’s bangs = confirmed gay mental health crisis

•⁠ Gay Autumn vs. Straight Pumpkin Patch Season – the cultural divide

•⁠ Candles, turtlenecks, Doc Martens & seasonal depression chic

•⁠ Locktober explained: a gentle introduction to… being physically prevented from getting.. excited..

•⁠ Alexander Skarsgård in the new kinky biker movie that might actually make us renew our marriage licences early

•⁠ RuPaul as President Gagwell in a camp action film about a glamazonian train disaster (BAFTA incoming)

💅 NSFW? Kind of.

🎃 DM us your gay Autumn traditions and thoughts on Locktober !! @edugaytionpodcast

Welcome back to EDUGAYTION – the queer culture podcast that’s basically a chaotic group chat with microphones. Jake’s just returned from his first solo trip to Paris, Kaz is experiencing a possible ginger sexual awakening, and Owen wants to put the world to right and settle the feud between the Brats and the Swifties!

This week, the gang deep dive into a very controversial cultural theory: Why do gay men hate Taylor Swift?!

Jake might have hugged Taylor once and now he’s her number one defender, but Owen has stats, Kaz has theories, and the Swifties might come for us after this episode (we love you guys)

We also get into:

•⁠ Why strangers CANNOT take a good picture to save their lives..

•⁠ The gays vs. Taylor: cringe, club culture, and the Charlie XCX beef explained

•⁠ 29 VERSIONS OF THE SAME ALBUM?? A vinyl fever dream

•⁠ Trisha Paytas on BROADWAY (Kaz is already outside the theatre waiting)

•⁠ The newest gay drama to hit Netflix

•⁠ Lawyers are losing their minds over Kim Kardashian in a Ryan Murphy drama that looks AI generated and we will be seated.

💅 NSFW? Probably.

This week, Owen, Jake, and Kaz are BACK from a mid season break with birthday catchups, mothering updates (Mango vs. the pig… again), and the story of Jake accidentally drying off with his mate’s ‘special’ towel..

Then we go deep on Grindr (aka orange Facebook): should you really age-out at 25, or is that nonsense? We unpack hookups vs. headspace, why IRL still matters, and play a stats game you will not recover from.

We also dive into:

•⁠ ⁠The unspoken rules of Grindr and why straight men are obsessed with it

•⁠ ⁠Did apps help kill the gay bar? RIP G-A-Y 💔

Welcome back to EDUGAYTION – the podcast that teaches you everything you didn’t know you needed to know about queer culture !! so simple, even the straights will understand.

This week, Owen, Jake, and Kaz discuss flirting in Urban Outfitters and the age-old debate of whether the Tooth Fairy is the gayest invention of all time.

And then, we get serious-ish: Owen takes us into the history of the word “fishy” - from ballroom culture to Drag Race - and ask whether it’s empowering, problematic, or simply another reclaimed queer word in the ever-evolving gay dictionary.

Gay words are much better than straight words! Spoiler: Bimini has thoughts, Victoria Scone has feelings, and we’ve got opinions.
