Nick, Katie and friends shoot the shit about social justice issues, politics and pop culture. We discuss current events and political issues from a progressive perspective that is pro-animal liberation, anti-racist, pro-feminist, pro-queer, pro-environment and anti-capitalist. Our podcast gives a voice to Left, progressive and anarchist voices and ideas that are neglected in the mainstream media.
On episode 310 we discuss Katie's obsession with the ice-hockey romance TV shows Off Campus (Prime Video) and Heated Rivalry (HBO Max). Some issues we cover are homophobia in ice-hockey, male characters written by women and getting distracted during a threesome.
We also give a shout out to the spoof comedy show A Touch Of Cloth (Prime Video) and byesexuality.
