Gotta Snatch 'Em All

Back after an embarrassingly long hiatus to bring you this sensational interview with the Demon Queen of Seattle herself, Bosco of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 14! We get into how how gay Beyblade fanfiction provided an early gateway to queer narratives; how Bosco's macabre and villainous creative inspirations were a welcomed distraction from Catholicism whilst growing up; and Bosco shares how important and integral it has been to have a close sorority of trans sisters who can celebrate their gender euphoria together.

After a long hiatus, I'm back at it with the wonderful Greg from It's Super Effective! We chat about Greg's discovery of Pokémon in his 20s and how it has enabled him to see the maturity in the franchise and its storylines; he explains how Gen 3, specifically Pokémon Emerald, set the trajectory for all of the pokémon games to follow; and finally, Greg shares heartfelt anecdotes about growing up in the 80's and how his experiences have given him a different lens through which he views queer media.

Who better to celebrate our 20th episode with than TikTok's hottest of all hotties, Paris Nicholson! Giving us sheer iconography straight off the bat with the zinger, "you've gotta be smart to act like a dumb bitch on the internet," Paris speaks with the authority that only a true, life-long Pokémon fan can.  Paris discusses how their degree in Marine Science instilled an eternal love for water types (you are not ready for the dissection of Alola's coral reef ecosystem that they give); the incredibly loving gesture from a family member during his childhood that reignited the flame for Pokémon; how the Disney Adults rage during the pandemic's early days sparked the beginnings of Paris' TikTok content; and of course we get SEVERAL hottest rankings of various categories within the pokémon world.

In this episode, I chat with professional pokémon commentator and LITERAL pokémon professor, Labhoisa, better known to many as LouThePikachu! We discuss Lou's rediscovery of pokémon in her twenties and all of the incredible opportunities it has presented for her; she shares her experiences of being part of an ever-growing community of female commentators within pokémon e-sports; and Lou shares heartwarming stories of running a pokémon club for her high school students to help them find a community of their own.

Happy new year, Ace Trainers! In this episode, I chat with Pokemon historian and archivist (yes, you heard that right) Grace, better known by her moniker, Mewisme700. She regales us with the lengths she has gone to in order to procure specific Pokémon artifacts; how her preference for collecting promotional merchandise over cards has led to her feeling excluded from the fandom at times; and we discuss the sudden influx of bro culture amidst the pokémon community, in the light of the trading card game's sudden spike in 'coolness'.
