  • Tricia Cooke on making a lesbian B-movie trilogy, and her polyamorous marriage with Ethan Coen

    Tricia Cooke on making a lesbian B-movie trilogy, and her polyamorous marriage with Ethan Coen
    2025/09/02
    In this episode, we sit down with Tricia Cooke — the creative force behind the recent lesbian comedies Drive-Away Dolls and Honey Don’t. Married to filmmaker Ethan Coen (yes, of the Coen brothers), Tricia has long identified as a lesbian, and we dive into how that identity intersects with her decades-long, straight-presenting poly marriage. The conversation spans two interviews a year apart: first, in Tricia and Ethan’s Manhattan home following the release of Drive-Away Dolls, and then more recently, as Honey Don’t hits theaters. From her early days in the film industry to the making of a queer B-movie trilogy, Tricia shares it all — including some juicy behind-the-scenes moments and insights into working with Honey Don’t stars, Aubrey Plaza and Margaret Qualley.

  • Lez Hang Out! Ep. 317: God Save the Lesbian Bar w/ Lisa Cannistraci

    Lez Hang Out! Ep. 317: God Save the Lesbian Bar w/ Lisa Cannistraci
    2025/08/19
    Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Lisa Cannistraci, the owner of Henrietta Hudson, the longest running lesbian bar in the country, (@henriettahudson), to chat about her experience running the bar. From taking Madonna on a tour of all of the lesbian bars in NYC, to Melissa Etheridge taking over the stage when the band started playing "Come to My Window", Lisa has seen it all. She talked to us about embracing the full spectrum of the LGBTQ community when she realized that she needed to adapt and make it a lesbian centric bar for the entire LGBTQ community. She also discussed her activism and how she's never shied away from taking a stand even if it means losing business. Follow along on Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky and TikTok: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay at the end of every episode.

    2025/08/12
    Another feed swap this week - with The Queer Family Podcast with Jaimie Kelton! . . . Jaimie sits down with Brian Rosenberg, longtime advocate, dad of three, and founder of Gays With Kids and GWK Academy. From navigating HIV and homophobia in the '80s to building a beautiful family through adoption and surrogacy, Brian shares his powerful story with honesty, humor, and heart. He opens up about the challenges of coming out as HIV-positive before coming out as gay, what it was like to raise kids during a time when queer family building had very little visibility, and why he’s now dedicated to making the process easier for all LGBTQIA+ folks looking to become parents. You’ll laugh, cry, and walk away feeling a little more seen. “I’m one of the first out gay men living with HIV to have biological kids through surrogacy. Now there are hundreds of us—and counting.” – Brian Rosenberg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Sean Monaghan and Susanna Stein on Stud Country, Big Apple Ranch, and the history of queer country western dancing

    Sean Monaghan and Susanna Stein on Stud Country, Big Apple Ranch, and the history of queer country western dancing
    2025/07/08
    We're diving into the rich history and culture of queer country western dancing. First, Sean Monaghan will share the story of Stud Country - how he discovered queer line dancing at the historic Oil Can Harry's, and how (along with his cofounder, Bailey) Sean founded Stud Country and brought about a renaissance of country western dancing to a younger generation of queers. In Act 2, Susanna Stein shares her own journey in the queer dancing scene, which began back in the 1970s. We discuss gender roles (leading vs. following) in queer partner dancing spaces, and how relationships can form and dissipate on the dance floor.
