From the creator of the New Lesbian blog, Edie Wyatt answers listener questions about life, love, and sexual identity, and gives her take on what's happening in the queer world.
In this episode of the New Lesbian Podcast, we discuss the 50th Anniversary of Pride and what Pride means for us, our love of the NYC Dyke March, and the prevalence of misogyny in the queer community. We discuss a listener’s reaction to our last episode, and Edie also reads an excerpt from her new memoir. Then, it’s everyone’s favorite segment, Who Would You Do: Friends edition!

Well, it’s been over a year–quelle surprise–but we’re back! Listen in for an update on our lives, how we’re making our relationship work this time around, an exciting announcement about Edie’s memoir (finally!), and a lovely listener update. We also dig in to someone identifying as straight after identifying as queer–what are the implications? What does it mean? And finally, everyone’s favorite segment, Who Would You Do: Killing Eve edition!

THREE MONTHS after recording this episode (and almost TWO YEARS after the last episode was released, oops!), Edie is finally back, and with a special guest! Listen in for a major life update, plus an in depth discussion of “Lesbian Bed Death” (spoiler alert: not a real thing, don’t call it that!) and how to navigate differing sex drives in a relationship. IMPORTANT STUFF, LOVELIES so listen up!
And of course it wouldn’t be an episode of NLP if we didn’t descend into pop culture randomness and give some shout outs to 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days, and our fave radio host, @michcoll (Michelle Collins)!

What it says on the tin! It’s just Edie in this episode of the New Lesbian podcast, and she answers a listener question that has at some point been ALL of our question in the early stages of realizing that maybe we’re not-so-straight–how do I actually start dating women?? What do I say? What if I’m Bi? Is that ok? (Short answer: yes.) Then a mini-check in on Edie’s mental state, and a new segment, “Edie Reads” where she gets a little passionate about a book that you should really read. Like, now.

OMG you guys! Episode 13 is finally here, only a year late! Settle in for an hour+ conversation between Edie, Elle, and 5 of their closest friends about all things queer. We cover dating apps, the disappearance of gay spaces in New York, the politics of Fire Island, freedom (or not) from gender roles and labels in the world of same-sex relationships, and tons more.
Thanks so much to our brilliant, thoughtful friends for being on the show: Eric, Jay, Mere, Sean, and Zara!

We answer more fantastic questions from you lovelies, like: How do you meet gays in a conservative town? How can you tell if someone you’re into is gay? How do you tell a husband/boyfriend that your sexuality has shifted?? Then, Edie can’t help herself and gushes again about how powerful it is for us to share our stories with each other. Sharing is caring! Then, it’s Peeves and Props and Who Would You Do, and somehow we spend 20 minutes talking about Youtubers. Sorry, not sorry! #Hangrid, anyone???

In this episode of the New Lesbian podcast, we celebrate marriage equality (yay!!), answer some questions from you, our lovely listeners, and talk about some of the emails and comments we’ve gotten in the past 6 months while we were off the air (and give you some dirt on why we REALLY weren’t podcasting).

Finally! It’s Season 2 of the New Lesbian podcast and in this episode it’s a queer news roundup: the tragic continuing trend of teen Trans* suicides, the unveiling of Caitlyn Jenner, the WNBA romance debacle, and the rise of the gay Youtuber. We round things out with everyone’s favorite/most hated segment, Who Would You Do: Harry Potter addition, where Edie explains why Virgos make the best lovers. PLUS, we’ve got a fancy new mic, and don’t quite know how to use it! (Please excuse the weird noises.) Happy Summer, lovelies!

It’s Thanksgaying at the New Lesbian podcast and Elle is a little drunk! In this episode we talk about how we handled yet another family gathering in the pseudo-south, the continued annoyance of having to endlessly come out, and how much of our hiding our relationship might be coming from…ourselves? Then it’s Props and Peeves, where we rant a little too much about Amtrak trains. We recorded this episode late at night, so bear with us, lovelies! Happy Thanksgiving!
