Friendships With Exes w/ Christina Cauterucci - Ep. 206

Being friends with an ex can be messy, rewarding, or both. Writer and Slate podcaster Christina Cauterucci joins us to explore why keeping your exes close is queer culture. Why is it harder for the cishets? When is it problematic? What are the signs that you shouldn't be friends with an ex? Also, we talk about friend group dynamics post-breakup. And, we challenge the thesis of Christina's cherished Slate article based on Melody's IRL experience. As usual, we reveal our gayest things: ashes and queer force shield edition. Finally, we end with a tough question about internalized homophobia. -Get extra content EACH WEEK, Ad Free episodes, support the pod, and get to know other listeners by joining our Patreon community.
