Dear Neighbour

We can put up a hell of a fight, and we can care for each other in that fight…  Welcome back to the fabulous scorpio queen Jane Claire Bradley whose debut novel will be coming out this week! Dear Neighbour celebrates chosen family, the ever necessary battle against austerity, and empathy between neighbours. We also pull some majorrrr major arcana cards and talk about the beauty of pole dancing! What a treat! "Five strangers. Four weeks. One letter that will change everything… Dear Neighbour tells the story of Alice, a single mum living in Leeds, her next-door neighbour Bill, a widower still grieving his wife’s death a decade earlier, and the other residents of their street. It’s a novel about the power of community and found family, and the real definition of home. A love letter to the necessity of resilience, resistance and empathy." Join Jane for a queer extravaganza of performances on Dear Neighbour's launch date, the 15th of June at Feel Good Club in Manchester! Tickets available.

Shakespeare was Bi, Queer people can be biphobic, and bisexuality is freedom! This week I’m joined by Mel Reeve, writer, archivist & founder of Bi History!

Follow the pod on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebisexualagendapod/ Content Warnings: Biphobia, bi erasure, bi exclusion in queer spaces, homophobia, homophobic slurs, transphobia, higher rates of sexual assault/domestic violence/abuse experienced by bisexual people and queer people, abuse within queer relationships.

Episode 20 - The Bisexual Dilemma II

Happy Virgo Season! In this special episode, Olivia & I are wracking our brains once again to give you some good, sound, bisexual advice for all of your bilemmas. Can you believe it we’ve made it to episode 20?! Thank you for listening love you forever x Send your bilemmas to: https://www.instagram.com/thebisexualagendapod/ Follow Olivia: https://www.instagram.com/oliviasnapsthings/ Resources mentioned: The Vagina Dispatches: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/video/2016/sep/23/vagina-dispatches-part-one-what-vulvas-look-like How I learned to cast off shame and love my vulva: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/oct/23/how-i-learned-cast-off-shame-to-love-my-vulva-body-positivity I can’t find the exact Stoya quote I mentioned but she has a sex advice column you can read on Refinery 29: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2014/06/70142/labia-insecurity-sexting Fucks Given Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/comecurious/?hl=en https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/f-ks-given/id1444176549 Queer Sex Therapy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queersextherapy/?hl=en Content Warnings/Trigger Warnings: Bilemma 1: Threesomes, non monogamy, jealousy, sex, and open relationships. Bilemma 2: Being “straight passing”, misgendering, biphobia, and exclusion in the queer community. Bilemma 3: Dating/asking out a friend. Bilemma 4: Having sex while drunk, regretting a sexual experience, virginity, consent, and sex. Bilemma 5: Discussions of genitals/vulvas/vaginas, sexual health, transphobia, body shaming and sex, HRT, transitioning, body image issues, dysmorphia, bottom surgery, medical interventions, racism, and transphobia in the NHS. This last question was sent in by a woman about her own relationship to her body/vagina/vulva and the bodies of other women, so there was a focus on women and body image but I definitely want to use more gender neutral language when talking about these issues, and I hope that the discussion was inclusive although we did focus on women.

Episode 8 - Don't have sex. Because you will get pregnant. And die.

It’s time we had “The Talk”... While the Netflix show Sex Education is beautiful/queer/amazing, unfortunately, the Sex Ed we received in School was severely lacking (and didn’t include Gillian Anderson in a silk robe). My beautiful and smart sister Emily is back again to provide a scathing critique of the UK’s education system and how it failed us as young bisexuals. In the second half, we come up with some ideas on how to improve things - please note neither of us are qualified to do this. Also - Fuck Margaret Thatcher, it’s time to promote being gay. Disclaimer: This episode is from the archives and took weeks to put together due to many technical fuck ups. The first half is actuality part of the first TBA episode! The audio is a bit crackly in certain sections because Skype loves to ruin our lives but please bear with us. Content Warnings: Abortion (8 mins) Rape and sexual assault mention (40 mins) Revenge Porn (42 mins) Periods (mainly 47 mins) Discussions of: STIS and STDs, HIV/AIDS, porn, breast cancer, medical phobias, masturbation, periods, pregnancy, pregnancy scares, teen pregnancies, underage sex, thrush, UTIs, homophobia, transphobia, viagra, body hair, body dysphoria Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebisexualagendapod/ Music: PremiumWave Sources: https://www.gov.uk/national-curriculum/other-compulsory-subjects https://www.theschoolrun.com/primary-school-sex-education https://learning.nspcc.org.uk/media/1682/briefing-summary-dfe-guidance-relationships-education-sex-health-education-england.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/781150/Draft_guidance_Relationships_Education__Relationships_and_Sex_Education__RSE__and_Health_Education2.pdf?utm_source=SEF+Member+List+2017&utm_campaign=e56efeea3d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_25_03_44&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8496801aba-e56efeea3d-321390709&mc_cid=e56efeea3d&mc_eid=d60c0c3bf7 https://www.fpa.org.uk/news/relationships-and-sex-education-what%E2%80%99s-changing
