Queer Collective Podcast

Have you ever been so close to finishing that you felt like giving up just before the end? Have you ever started something that you thought was going to be the thing you do for the rest of your life and then you realize 3 years later that you hate it? In this week's episode, Emily and Karbon talk about school, graduating, not graduating, and following your heart.

As we go to bed at night, we can hear the soft sound of lesbians all over the world rejoicing in blissful happiness; For they too, believe they now have a shot with Kehlani...

Let's talk facts. Cancel culture has a lot of mixed reviews. Is it good? Is it bad? Does it need a new name? This week Emily and Karbon have a spirited debate on the pros and cons of cancel culture, the flaws they see, how cancel culture affects people, and what happens when it is taken to dark extremes. Enjoy the episode!

Society (including ourselves) often gatekeeps the term "artist", making us feel like we don't belong. So, what actually gives you the right to call yourself an artist? This week Emily and Karbon get a little silly and a little serious when they talk about their history with the word "artist" and what they think about it today. Hope you enjoy!

Let's be real, Covid winters hit harder. If you've been down in the dumps you are not alone. This past winter may have been gloomy for a lot of us, but summer warmth and the rays of the sun bring us a new hope of the possibilities this summer, and we will NOT waste it! Hope you enjoy.

Have you ever felt like you're in a place where you don't belong? or like you're not doing enough? or like you're putting up a front and faking it till you make it? Well, you're not alone. This week Emily and Karbon talk about the feelings that come with imposter syndrome and how to make yourself feel more validated and like your work does matter and has a purpose. Hope you enjoy!

So we've all heard the theories of the JFK assassination, BUT, have you heard the theories behind the RFK assassination? Robert Kennedy (JFK's brother) was running for president 5 years after his brother died and had just finished a successful run in the Californian primaries. He was just getting off stage and entering the pantry of the Ambassador Hotel where he was greeted with a fatal shot to the head. Convicted murderer Sirhan Sirhan fired 8 shots in the hotel pantry that morning. So you would think this was an open and shut case right? Well.... there's some compelling evidence that might make you think otherwise. All this and more in this week's podcast. Enjoy!

We've all been there, falling for fake news and posting it only to take it down in a rush 2 hours later because you only read the headline and didn't check your sources. We get it. And telling real news from fake news can be hard. In this episode Emily and Karbon reveal just how hard it is to identify real news from fake news. Let us know how many you get right. Enjoy!

We have officially reached our zoom call limit. Anyone else feeling totally zoomed out? In this episode Karbon and Emily take us through what their 2020 was like, things they learned, things they experienced, and what they are looking forward to in 2021. Enjoy!

Did you leave your christmas shopping till the literal last possible minute? We experience this every single year as the 24th of December comes around and we are still googling "last minute gifts" just so we don't show up empty handed but end up defaulting to the usual lazy amazon gift card. This stops today! Every gift in this guide will be something you can buy and gift on the same day if needed (well... except for Emily's ideas that require too much effort for any normal person). Enjoy!
