You're going to be. Hello and welcome to Outward Slate's podcast where our mantra as ever is

Oh ho homosexual the ruling class is ineffectual.

I'm Brian Lauter, an editor at Slate,

and I'm very effectual homosexual, if I do say myself.

I have to tell you guys, it's kind of an awkward vibe in the studio today.

Do you all remember that cool lesbian used to be on the show

before she dipped on us for like a younger, hotter gay podcast?

Her name was Christina, Christina Carter Roochy, and she kind of showed

up today expecting like an interview or something. Maybe a little toxic behavior, but you know, Christina

is back in the studio. I'm so kidding Christina we're so happy to have you back.

I'm going to be back. I'm like crying right now.

It's a pleasure to be the subject of one of your legendary intro.

Oh God, my very ineffectual interest.

Hopefully you're you're ready for me to just waltz right back in like nothing ever changed.

We absolutely are.

We're desperate for it in fact.

This is sort of a little tease ahead of your full return which will be sometime later in the summer. But today we get to talk about the other pod. Which by the way as anyone who's ever left somebody for like a younger and hotter anything knows it's no

comparison. You win every time.

Oh thank you we appreciate that. But the other part is of course the, the new season of Sloburn, which is called, season 9, I believe,

which is called Gays Against Brix, which listeners, it is out today when this episode drops and it is truly

fantastic. I really can't wait for you all to go

listen to it.
