Top, bottom, and vers—3 terms you hear all the time in the queer community. But what exactly do they mean? Can you be a mix of two or all three? Do you *need* to know which one you identify with? Do they only refer to sex or other parts of the relationship? And what can straight people learn from it all? On this episode, we dive into all these questions and learn a little about ourselves along the way.

This week, Gay Italian Nonna (aka Monica) graces us with her IDGAF energy. And we could not be more grateful.

As a daughter of Catholic Italian immigrants, coming out (or even *moving* out) felt like a huge act of rebellion for Monica. She tells us about navigating her years in the closet, finally coming into her own, and finding confidence in her sexuality and herself. Plus, how a fight with her neighbour turned into a TikTok following of 80K+.

OK The Ultimatum: Queer Love fans—this one's for you. The incredibly smart and fun Tiff Der is here to answer ALL our burning questions, including the behind the scenes tea we didn't even know we needed.

We ask Tiff all the things: Were they nervous Mildred would fall in love with someone else? How did they really feel about Sam? Which cast members had a secret connection that never made it to the final cut? And as one of the first all-queer reality seasons in Netflix's history, how did the producers handle everything?

Tiff also gets candid with us about their experience with trauma, DV, and how they hope to help other queer people navigating the same issues. We could not be more grateful for Tiff's honesty and vulnerability. What a true gem—on and off screen.

Whatever your feelings are about The Ultimatum: Queer Love, this season was a major step forward for queer representation in main stream media, especially reality TV. And we can't wait to see what's next.

Alyy Patel is back! This time to grace us with a live poetry reading from their new book, "Don't Tell My Parents: Queer Diasporic Truths". Alyy is a trailblazing LGBTQ+ scholar, activist, and creative and founder of the Queer South Asian Women's Network (QSAW). With the release of their first book of poems, you can add author to the list.

"Don't Tell My Parents" is an unflinchingly honest collection of poetry that follows the author's journey to self-love and self-acceptance as a queer South Asian daughter of Canadian immigrants who reject her sexuality. On this episode, Alyy reads a few of their favourite poems from the book, exploring the key themes of family rejection, lesbian relationships, emotional abuse, and discovering self-love.

We're kicking off a new season with SO. MANY. UPDATES! Sar is back from her trek through South Asia and Pers got herself a cat—and a girlfriend. Join us for this ultimate catch-up, where we explore P's first serious relationship with a woman, how they met, what she learned from her single life, and what she's looking forward to in the future. For anyone who has been listening to the show for a while, you know how big of a deal this is. Let's gossip, Girl on Girlies.

On today's episode, P sits down with her best friend of 21 years (WILD) Cailin Campbell to have the most vulnerable conversation. The two best friends talk about their childhood, growing up in a small town, and how they both navigated their sexuality as teens. Cailin openly identifies as pansexual and has been in a straight passing relationship with her boyfriend for nearly a decade. She dives into how she has struggled to fit in with the LGBTQIA+ community over the years since she got into a relationship at such a young age. However, Cailin has been able to grow and overcome those internal thoughts and is so grateful that she can be open with her partner about her pansexuality. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who identifies as queer but is in a happy and committed heterosexual relationship. Cailin says it many times throughout this episode but she wants everyone to know that your partner does not define your sexuality. If you want to send Cailin a message or keep up with her, you can follow this lil gemini babe below @cailincamps on Instagram.

YA'LL this episode is a special one. P talks to the one and only Lauren Abedini aka @iamkittens. KITTENS is a Persian lesbian DJ based out of Los Angeles. She sits down with P to talk about her experience coming out as a first-generation Iranian American, the first moment she realized she was into women, and how she kickstarted her career as a DJ in a male dominated industry. Her unique DJ sets and eclectic music taste had gained the interest of iconic artists like Kid Cudi, Usher, Skrillex, and A-Trak. Throughout her journey, she's had the opportunity to DJ at some of the world's largest stages like Coachella, EDC, and residencies in Vegas. Lastly, KITTENS talks about how important queer representation is in the media and how a queer playlist she started is what lead to the creation of SHE/HER/THEY, a podcast highlighting queer guests and their stories.
