StraightioLab is an intellectual podcast where smart comedians George Civeris and Sam Taggart unpack the rich, multi-colored tapestry of straight culture. In each episode, George and Sam are joined by a guest to hold a MIRROR to society and finally get to the BOTTOM of mysterious and perverse topics such as college fraternities, gender reveal parties, the military, themed restaurants, and the concept of "the holidays." Scared? Good.

Celebrity Book Club: Danny "Ducking In" Meyer
Hootie-hoo to all our beloved investors! As we all enjoy the last few weeks of the state-mandated global StraightioLab summer hiatus, we thought we would offer a little treat to our hungry little listener pigs: an episode of one of our favorite podcasts, Celebrity Book Club, hosted by past Straightio guests Steven Phillips Horst and Lily Marotta! Read more from Steven and Lily below—if you dare. Celebrity memoirs aren’t like normal books—they’re fun! Join comedians Steven Phillips-Horst (@gossipbabies) & Lily Marotta (@lilyblueyez) as they rifle through the diaries of drug-addled starlets, oddly obsessive restaurateurs, brass-knuckled female realtors, and boring gay politicians’ even more boring gay husbands, finding fertile ground for searing cultural insights and juicy gossip. Martinis not included. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"French Manicures" w/ Jess Salomon & Eman El-Husseini
Bonjour, femmes glamours! This week on a very educational StraightioLab, Jess Salomon and Eman El-Husseini explain how they can be an interracial, interfaith, and inter-vaccine (Pfizer-Moderna) queer couple and STILL get canceled in today's fast-paced media climate! After that, they dive into what makes a manicure French (suburban ennui), and what makes bacon Canadian (racism). Plus: Was the Virgin Mary a fashionista? Which corporate entity have we decided to put on blast? And finally: Does going to a hotel count as "queer culture"? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
