United States of Kennedy: Episode 1: Chappaquiddick Jul 09, 2025

Show notes

In 1969, a young Ted Kennedy drove his car off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. He managed to get out of the car and survive, but the 28-year-old woman in the passenger seat did not. Kennedy fled the scene and didn’t report the incident until the following morning. As with all Kennedy scandals, conflicting reports of what exactly happened led to enduring conspiracy theories. We’re joined by Liz McNeil, editor-at-large at PEOPLE, author of JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography, and host of the Chappaquiddick podcast COVER-UP, to discuss what we know about that night — and what we don’t.

"A Dress That's Just A Long Oxford Shirt" w/ Jenny Hagel Jul 08, 2025

Show notes

We're back to bicoastal recordings and feeling MIXED about it. Luckily, this week we have Jenny Hagel on to make us feel calmer with her wise thoughts on following your heart, lesbian fashion influence, and what it means when you wear a dress that's just a long oxford shirt. Plus, we get into local college culture, a tortoise vs hare binary, and the psychology behind posting a picture of your kid with an emoji over their face. And remember: wear whatever you want, as long as it's purposeful!!

In the FINAL episode of StraightioLab recorded before Sam's wedding, we dive into the straightest topic of all time: Fantasy sports. "Returning champ" (phrase we just learned) Devon Walker (SNL, his brand new podcast MY FAVORITE LYRICS) joins us to answer such questions as: Is fantasy football kind of like Harry Potter fan fiction? Could a gay guy in New Jersey get into gambling? And finally: Is it gay or straight to opt out of things?

We have Taylor Ortega on to talk all things game night and tell us about what really happens when you're hanging out with straight couples.

"Online" w/ Patti Harrison (GaytioLab) Jun 10, 2025

Show notes

Happy Pride! If only it were that simple. Today we are joined by one of our country's most talented gaslighters, our dear friend Patti Harrison, to check in on the state of the LGBTQ+ community across the globe. The "episode topic" is brought up in passing exactly once as we get lost in a sea of psychological manipulation, sexual roleplay, marine life-based speculative fiction, and intellectual exercises that leave us feeling sore BUT refreshed. Get in... the water's scalding hot and filled with microplastics.

"Phish" w/ Josh Sharp May 13, 2025

Show notes

This week we are blessed to have Josh Sharp BACK on the pod. We come up with an amazing new tracklist of Kim Petras songs, explain what it means to "be philly", and unpack the band Phish with a LIVE fact checker in the room (because facts matter, y'all). Plus, Josh promotes his new off-broadway show "ta-da!" in a way that is so non-linear that even Greta Gerwig's ass will be sat. Speaking of, get tickets to Josh's show NOW at joshsharptada.com.
